What is a Page Post Ad?
This term refers to the action of promoting a post, whether it’s a status update, video, photo, or a link, on your Facebook page. It’s beneficial because when it is interacted with, that interaction will show up in their Facebook friend’s timeline. It’s a vital content marketing strategy for engagement that can not be understated.
Plus, it’s just innocuous enough that it can reach that larger audience (especially through connections targetting). It’s going to be the first thing that your audience sees when they go to your Facebook page.
If your engagements go well, you can then look into how you can repurpose that promoted post on your page into other parts of your content marketing campaigns.
