3d blue connected people-largeHave you noticed that when you like a Page on Facebook you’re now given suggestions of similar Pages that you might like? This is a fairly new feature and one that Page owners must opt-in to in order to be included in the suggestions. The opt-in is super easy and this could help your Page get discovered by many users. Here’s a super quick video to show you how to ensure that your Page is included in these suggestions.

    How does FaceBook determine how to match a page with other pages that are like it?

    The page suggestions really brought a lot of likes to may page over the last few months, but in the last couple of days it’s acting like it’s turned off. Any ideas on this?

      Hi Phil,
      It’s my understanding that the Similar Page Suggestions are based on the categories the Pages are listed under (and probably some other algorithm that I’m not privy to). It seems that, on my own Page and clients’ Pages, the likes that come from these suggestions go in cycles, meaning that we get several for a while then they slow down (or stop), then pick up again. Hang in there; hopefully you’ll see them pick back up again.

    Hi
    I manage a few FB pages for various clients. I don’t seem to have this feature in notifications. Could you advise me please? Thank you

      Hi Pia,
      Looks like I need to update that video! You can now find this feature on your Pages by going to Settings > General > Similar Page Suggestions (10th from the top). If I’m not mistaken, the default setting is now to include Pages in the suggestions, but check it to be sure.

      Hope that helps!!
      Carole
