The recent changes to the Facebook algorithm have widely discussed by now and most of us can agree that this has been coming or a long time. If you’re not aware of the changes you can learn about them here.
While there are many different ways for business pages to combat the new changes, there is one that is so easy and simple it would be silly not to do it and that is getting your current followers to add you to their “see first” list on Facebook. This is super easy and painless for everyone. We break it down for those of us who are more technologically challenged.
Step 1. Click that little upside down triangle in the upper right corner of your computer screen.
Step 2. Click “News Feed Preferences” from the list that drops down.
Step 3. A new window will pop up that looks like this. Click on the top button that says “Prioritize who to see first”
Step 4. Once you’ve clicked the button above you will be taken to a list that shows all of the people you are friends with and the pages you follow/like. You can narrow the results to business pages and scroll until you find the one you’re looking for. Simply click the business you want and you’ll see a little blue star appear.
Step 5. Click done and you are…well, done. Share this blog with your followers and stay competitive in the newsfeed!
See below for the super easy way to set up on your smart phone.
