With every addition to the market, the list of Facebook best practices has had to shift to meet the expectations of changing features and audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may not have the virality of TikTok or the glamour of Instagram, Facebook remains an essential channel to be active on for its business and community benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the most out of Facebook in 2023, here are 10 Facebook best practices for your brand to follow for success on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #1: Verify your Facebook business page<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the easiest way to distinguish your brand from the rest. Verifying your Page doesn\u2019t just provide your business with a small blue checkmark next to your page name \u2014 it\u2019s bigger than that. A Page verification signals to your audience that your business is the real deal, which helps build trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-27355 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-700x395.png\" alt=\"Washington Post Facebook Page\" width=\"700\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-350x197@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-1536x866.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-350x197.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-1170x660.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM.png 1958w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-5.43.03-PM-700x395@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/2058515294227817?id=180505742745347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">verifying your Page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> only requires a few steps to set you on the path to earning the coveted blue checkmark.

This is what it\u2019s like to share improperly sized images on Facebook. You\u2019re only conveying the information that is visible to the average Facebook user scrolling through their feed while leaving the rest hidden. Additionally, improperly sized images also lead to diminished quality, such as pixelation when dealing with smaller visuals.<\/p>\n<p>There are specific image sizes that are optimized for maximum visibility on Facebook and tailoring your visual content to these specifications will ensure the highest levels of engagement possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimal Facebook Image Sizes:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Profile Picture: 400 x 400 px<\/li>\n<li>Business Page Cover Photo: 1200 x 674 px<\/li>\n<li>Event Cover Photo: 1920 x 1005 px<\/li>\n<li>Group Cover Photo: 1920 x 1005 px<\/li>\n<li>Photo Post: 1200 x 630 px<\/li>\n<li>Story Post: 1200 x 445 px<\/li>\n<li>Carousel Ad: 1080 x 1080 px<\/li>\n<li>Single Image Ad: 1200 x 628 px<\/li>\n<li>Catalog Image: 1080 x 1080 px<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t count on your users to click on <a href=\"\/blog\/guide-copyright-fair-use-laws-online-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your images<\/a> to get the whole picture (pun intended). Tell your whole story the first time while your audience scrolls over your content. Be sure to save this list of image sizes for your own reference when creating new visual content for your business page.<\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #3: Engage your audience with giveaways<\/h2>\n<p>Facebook is a participatory medium. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/346167\/facebook-global-dau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">over two billion daily active users<\/a>, Facebook continues to be an active platform with users who are ready to participate in a conversation \u2014 and giveaways are a great way to capture that engagement.<\/p>\n<p>The giveaway below shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rarebeauty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rare Beauty<\/a> generated an engagement rate of 0.88% which is 31 times higher than the average for beauty brands on Facebook and almost 15 times greater than the median Facebook engagement rate across industries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-32746 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-700x553.png\" alt=\"A Rival IQ analysis of a Facebook giveaway shared by Rare Beauty.\" width=\"700\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-350x276@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-1024x808.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-1536x1212.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-100x79.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-350x276.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-1170x924.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty.png 1614w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-rare-beauty-700x553@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"\/blog\/social-media-industry-benchmark-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">giveaways have been less popular compared to previous years<\/a>, they can still be an effective way to boost your engagement and let your Facebook audience know you\u2019re still engaged and dedicated to them on this channel.<\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #4: Optimize your posting frequency<\/h2>\n<p>If you rarely post on your brand\u2019s Facebook page, you won\u2019t see any real benefits to your business. But what about the opposite situation? On the other hand, posting too much can be harmful to brand engagement where you run into issues of oversaturating your audience with content. This will either cause more important content to get lost in the noise or alienate your audience altogether out of sheer annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>What matters most is finding a posting frequency that works for you. If posting too little or too much are the extremes, what is the optimal posting limit for increasing engagement with your audience in 2023? While posting frequency varies by industry, the average number that brands across industries are posting is five posts per week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-32747 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-posting-frequency-700x540.png\" alt=\"Another Facebook best practice to consider is posting frequency.

Speaking of best times\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>BONUS: What about the best times to post?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great question! Luckily, <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/best-times-to-post-on-social\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we\u2019ve done extensive research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into this subject at Rival IQ and there are a few general takeaways you should consider for Facebook:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Move away from lunchtime:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Much like on Instagram, weekday mornings and afternoons see the highest concentration of posting, but don\u2019t have much to show for themselves by way of engagement. Experiment with late night Facebook posts to see if you can catch your followers outside of work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Try posting on weekends:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Brands are seeing above average engagement rates on Facebook on the weekends, especially in the evenings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of this, the best times to post on Facebook are specific to your brand and the historical performance of your page. This information is found in your Facebook Page Insights. Once you select \u201cposts\u201d in the Insights section, you\u2019ll find a breakdown chart that shows average post traffic throughout the day so you can find the optimal times to post.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #5: Implement a video strategy<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to use images in your social media post lineup. If you\u2019re only <a href=\"https:\/\/databox.com\/videos-vs-images-in-facebook-ads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">using images and not video<\/a> to convey the power of your brand on Facebook, then you\u2019re missing out on a huge marketing opportunity \u2014 specifically with Reels.<\/p>\n<p>While Reels are huge on Instagram, you can get even more out of them by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creators\/reels-best-practices-tips-tricks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sharing your Reels on Facebook<\/a>. After you post a Reel, you can automatically share it to your linked Facebook account to reach that audience without having to post twice. The video below from <a href=\"https:\/\/sietefoods.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siete Family Foods<\/a>, a <a href=\"\/blog\/top-health-food-brands-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top health food brand on Facebook<\/a>, is a Reel that the brand also shared on Instagram.

A short three- to five-second intro trailer that hooks your audience is the perfect way to keep them on the leash for the valuable content you\u2019re looking to convey.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Don\u2019t go overboard on length:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nobody has time to watch a thirty-minute diatribe about your brand, product, or topic, especially while scrolling through Facebook. Keep your video length anywhere between one to five minutes to convey your message.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Use the correct aspect ratio:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Just like the optimal image sizes, Facebook also has an optimal video aspect ratio. Use a 4:5 aspect ratio when releasing content on this social platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you stick to these best practices and keep your video content fresh, your audience should reward you with the <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/3-reasons-youre-losing-video-views\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engagement and clicks you\u2019re looking for<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #6: Take advantage of Meta Business resources<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook, which is now under the umbrella of Meta, offers countless resources directly on its website to help businesses and creators get the most out of the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, you can learn more about the latest updates and platform-specific tips for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/tools\/meta-business-suite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta Business Suite<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is the central place to manage your brand\u2019s Facebook page and Instagram account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/creators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook for Creators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a dedicated resource for creators and brands.

One thing to keep in mind is that this guide will lead your page down the path to becoming a video creators page and if that is not your only goal, make sure you skip over some of the steps that lead in that direction. Chances are you\u2019ll use this resource as a way to find new ideas for content and promotion for your business rather than a tool to becoming the next big online influencer or commentator.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #7: Use alt text<\/h2>\n<p>To make sure your content is accessible to everyone on Facebook, add alt text to your images. Alt text is the written text that\u2019s embedded in an image\u2019s HTML code and is used to describe the content of the image. Alt text is helpful for users who may be visually impaired and use screen reading tools. It can also provide context for all users if your image fails to load for any reason and helps search engines better categorize your content.<\/p>\n<p>While Facebook automatically generates alt text if you don\u2019t add your own, it\u2019s usually pretty nondescript. To make sure your alt descriptions are painting an accurate picture of what\u2019s being shown in the image, it\u2019s best to create your own.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the alt text on this photo shared by sparkling water brand <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkspindrift.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spindrift<\/a> perfectly describes the photo while still weaving in its brand.

Over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/statistics\/why-do-people-use-facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">54% of people use Facebook to keep up with brands,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and that includes reaching out for questions or support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to build engagement and trust between your brand and your audience, then make customer service a priority. Have a plan for how you\u2019ll manage customer questions, inquiries, and feedback and how you\u2019ll respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being responsive on your brand\u2019s Facebook page has a huge impact, especially if you respond in a timely fashion.

Make sure all of your message notifications are turned on and someone on your team is responsible for monitoring your page\u2019s activity. Answering messages on your page is the perfect way to connect with your audience on a granular level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engagement is a two-way street when it comes to social media \u2014 the more you engage with your audience, the more likely they are to <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/earn-keep-customer-brand-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel connected to your brand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Facebook Best Practice #9: Boost your highest performing posts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the popularity party could run for just a little bit longer? <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/social-media-advertising-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boosting popular posts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great way to double-dip on the engagement you receive and get your content in front of more eyes. Instead of relying on Facebook\u2019s algorithm to build organic reach, you can pay Facebook to put your content in front of more people. Out of all of the Facebook best practices in this list, this one is the only one that\u2019ll require a real monetary investment in the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to boosting Facebook posts is to choose ones that already performed well. When you boost a high-performing post, you can target a wider audience so that people who don\u2019t already follow you can also engage with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Facebook post from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodculture.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good culture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, another <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/top-health-food-brands-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top health food brand on Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we can see in our analysis that the image was likely boosted (as indicated by the tag by the red arrow). While the engagement total was primarily made up of likes, we can see that the post also generated a decent number of comments and shares. It also gave the brand an engagement rate lift that was 32 times better than similar posts the brand shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-32760 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-700x496.png\" alt=\"A Rival IQ analysis of a boosted Facebook post from health food brand good culture.\" width=\"700\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-350x248@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-1024x725.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-1536x1088.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-100x71.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-350x248.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-1170x828.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup.png 1610w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-good-culture-markup-700x496@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process for boosting posts is also much easier than setting up a formal ad campaign.

This includes the use of features like Stories and Reels to release personable content about your brand, such as staff highlights, production processes, POV videos of events, and AMA (ask me anything) posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s not enough to just release a few videos and stories. The tone is everything when it comes to this kind of content, so relax and be your genuine self (or selves). Self-awareness and a relaxed tone go a long way, as does humor for many brands. <\/span><a href=\"\/blog\/top-convenience-stores-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top-performing convenience store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kwik Trip offers an excellent example of how to tap into the authentic and relatable content that ties into your brand in the post below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-32778 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-700x477.png\" alt=\"A Rival IQ analysis of a meme-style Facebook post from Kwik Trip which shows the brand's authenticity, a top Facebook best practice.\" width=\"700\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-350x239@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-1024x698.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-1536x1048.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-100x68.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-350x239.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-1170x798.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip.png 1610w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/facebook-best-practices-kwik-trip-700x477@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Note on Facebook Best Practices in 2023<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things are changing quickly and these Facebook best practices are expected to change along with it.
