5 Simple Ways to Make Facebook’s Algorithms Work In Your Favour

16 November 2018

3 mins read

When Facebook announced a change (or revert) in direction this year after the whole Cambridge Analytica fiasco, it signaled a change in their algorithms. They wanted to refocus on user engagement away from fake news, advertising and politics. So what does that mean for digital marketing?

Nothing we didn’t already know. For years, Facebook has always favoured content that prioritised engagement of users, but it did provide insights on how to tweak your content against the algorithm. With that in mind, we offer some simple ways you can make Facebook’s algorithm work in your favour:

Research Your Audience

Researching is a chore but it is a necessary one. Merely assuming who your audiences are is not going to cut it – you have to understand your brand/page. You can start with the Insights section, understand your followers – their gender, age and relevant demographic information.

With this information, you can create the ideal customer persona, tailor your content towards him/her and look to engage your audiences with it.

Aim for Shares, Tags & Comments

Most people scroll through News Feed aimlessly, so you have to pique their interest beyond scrolling past or liking, which means it needs to be creative and create meaningful interactions. You can also suggest sharing, tagging or commenting on your content itself. Something simple like, “Let us know what you think in the comments!” (Of course, please do more), could go a long way because reacts and likes are going to de-prioritised.

(Avoid baiting statements like “Comment below if you like____”, it will land you on the other end of the algorithm.)

Provoke statement reactions and you will see your engagement go way up. Get them to interact with their friends with shares and/or tags. This will engage a conversation between friends, and isn’t that what Facebook is all about?  If you are facing a mental block on content, you can always seek help from creative agencies (like us (;)

Have A Conversation With Them

Merely asking your audience to talk isn’t enough. You have to respond. People go to Facebook for interactions with people, not a bot. It’s a two-way street. By responding to your audience in the comments with genuine replies (not standard PR ones), it boosts your reach and makes your audience feel good as well. A humorous response (like Skyscanner here) could go a long way for your brand and help turn a negative situation into a positive one. As long as you refrain from mistakes like these and you will have an engaged audience that will boost your page.

Organic exposure is on the decline, reaching a new low of 2% in June 2016. So you can’t always rely on your page getting organic views, which means you have to bring out the big guns. Sometimes, you have to spend a little to get the ball rolling. By boosting your posts with the right audience set, it allows your content to be seen by the right people and furthers your reach. If you are facing issues with managing ads, you can always consult a professional to help you.

Write About Current Events

You can’t always rely on your own content to engage your audience, sooner or later you will either run out of content or bore your audience. The alternative is to scour the news for hot related topics and discuss them with your followers. With that, you can ride the wave of current trends and engage your audience at the same time. To achieve that, you have to follow news content pages and read the trending/related ones. At the end of the day, you will get current affairs knowledge and an engaged audience. (two birds, one stone)

Facebook Revolutionising Digital Marketing With AI

The digital marketing industry has seen massive changes over recent years and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rising factor. Because of the expansion of AI, we are able to study and identify consumer trends when crafting marketing strategies. This is vital, as an effective partnership between AI and digital marketing results in a boost for performance and revenue.

In line with the AI rave, Facebook has acquired the genius startup, GrokStyle. Yes, the social media goliath has acquired the entire team behind the savvy invention. By emerging with a one-of-a-kind invention, Grokstyle has helped multinational corporations communicate with its consumers effectively. Their point-and-search functionality earned recognition when it was added to Ikea’s mobile application, Place.

Beyond enhancing its AI inventions, the social media platform is on a roll to get new technology to contribute to their AI capabilities. Brands and companies can continually adopt new technology to always be ahead in engaging its audience while exploring and tapping into new territories for digital marketing in the near future.

To fully maximise the use of existing social media features, speak to professionals who can craft a thorough strategy just for you.

So how should I utilise AI in my marketing strategies?

AI has evolved to be beneficial to many industries, as seen by Facebook expanding on AI’s creative abilities to enhance their consumers’ experience. How about you?

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) The New Wave of Advertisement Content?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has slowly crept into every industry, even in digital marketing, and it looked like everything could be made better with AI.

Digital marketing has benefitted from the automation of strenuous processes but the content within ads seemed irreplaceable by AI.

At least that’s what people thought until Burger King released this:

If you let your phone’s texting suggestion create an ad for Burger King, you’ll probably get something like:

“Burger King and I wanna was a great night out with the girls in a very small group of fun people who cannot is a great way of making it fun to try it and then make sure to make it happen.”

Similarly, in these ads, the AI’s voiceover and the content were awkward and funny, which seems to hit the spot for some consumers.

While it is scary to imagine a world where even content is run by AI, it seems like there has been more and more research and development going in that direction.

Why did this ad appeal to so many audiences?

Currently, advertisements are proliferating our everyday space, and the only way for your ad to stand out is to find creative and relatable angles.

Likewise, the Burger King ad used a creative yet relatable idea of faulty AI content, which captured the attention of the masses.

Hence, the formula seems clear: the less brand sells the product, the more it will appeal to the general public. This is because such content is viewed as more sincere in their interactions with consumers.

If you are looking for a strategic content with a creative and relatable angle, approach a creative team that generates meaningful interactions with consumers.

Will AI become the new wave of digital advertisement content?

We don’t think so.

AI has successfully transformed digital marketing, such as data analytics and targeting/re-targeting various profiles based on interests and internet behaviour.

But when it comes to content, humans are superior in terms of creativity and empathy, which AI fails to replicate.

Even the content of the Burger King ad itself was created by the marketing team at Burger King, banking on the inability of AI to create content and humour.

Without creativity and empathy, AI is unable to replicate creative and relatable content as exemplified by the Burger King ad.

So how should I craft digital marketing content going forward?

While targeting helps to bring the message to the right people, the right content will find the right people on its own.

Be creative. Creativity will remain the key to content creation for a long time.

Creative content often becomes talking points in everyday conversations and media news and improves your brand visibility.

At the end of the day, you will need creative yet strategic content (link to our top 5 ad article) to achieve marketing goals in the digital age.

It is good to employ advanced technology. However, there’s nothing in this world that can replace good and effective advertising content built on creativity, not even AI.

If you need help in crafting a top-of-the-line advertising content, look for a digital team that is experienced in doing so.

Facebook’s New Dating Feature Can Help You Find “The One”

If you’re looking for a date, you’re in luck! Facebook is preparing to launch a dating feature for help users find their soulmates.

In the current digital age, social media has often been used primarily for connecting people, expanding networks and the occasional marketing.

For some ‘daring’ Facebook users, they use it to pursue and date individuals they are interested in at this point of time.

In fact, Facebook has seen more success for dating than Tinder and Facebook has decided to make it easier for users to do so.

Why is Facebook doing this?

Diversification is important for business, and Facebook is throwing their hat into the dating ring against the likes of Tinder and OKCupid.

With the wide number of users readily available on Facebook, it allows an easy transition to include a dating feature.

Here’s what you can expect from this dating feature!

  • It’s an opt-in so it’s your prerogative (PSA to Singles out there!)
  • Users would be able to access profiles beyond their network
  • ‘Networking’ events that catered to specific interests to help users meet someone who is on their frequency

This could also be part of creating meaningful interactions and connecting people on their platform, as announced earlier this year.

If your brand is looking for someone to help create meaningful interactions with your target audience, look no further than a creative digital team.

So what can you do about this?

Any brands that have services or products related to dating can start thinking up or drafting dating-related ads.

It would not be a surprise if Facebook launches ads that caters to the dating crowd, such as events or gifts that helps break the ice on dates.

If you are having trouble creating a tailored ad, leave your number with experienced digital marketers to help you with it!

This feature could also be a precursor for similar platforms for business collaborations in the future.

In fact, the same feature could be tweaked to meet similar individuals and find opportunities for brand collaborations as well.

Want to stay ahead of the digital trends? Pair your brand up with the one – a dedicated team that will help transform your brand in the digital scene!
