● Facebook has redesigned pages on mobile so that customers can do a lot more on business profiles.
People will be able to make reservations and appointments from Facebook pages.
Users will also be able to see stories, recent photos, upcoming events, and offers on your page.
The user-friendly mobile design is essential because most people will access business pages through the Facebook app both at home and on the go.

●The top pages are posting a lot more.
Although this had been debated back and forth, Buffer found a 24% increase in the number of posts per quarter over the past year.
● In general, Page engagement is declining.
Because there is way more news feed competition than before, engagement is still going down and has dropped by more than 50% over the last 18 months.
● Facebook engagement is down for videos, images, and links.
There is a difference between the performance for each of these types of content, however, surprisingly images (not video) regularly receive the most engagement.
● Posting 5 times per day resulted in the highest overall engagement.
● Facebook is becoming an extremely competitive environment not only for page posts but for ad content as well. Not to mention, the algorithm is always evolving.
As the competition gets fiercer businesses are becoming more and more adept at creating high-quality content. The content bar is higher than ever before and it's not always to rise to these standards.

● This feature allowed users to scroll through posts from one of their designated friend lists such as work colleagues, high school friends, or neighbors.
● These Friend Feeds won't be disappearing completely, only the Friend List Feeds will be shutting down.
You'll still be able to create, edit and share to your friend lists, you just won't be able to read these specific people's updates in a separate News Feed.
