How to Develop a Facebook Page Strategy

Category: Knowledge

Level: Beginner

According to statistics from brandwatch.com, there are over 60 million active business pages worldwide. Only 5 million of these businesses invest financially in promotion. This means that the remaining 55 million invest, for the most part, in content. But what is content without a strategy when it comes to Facebook?

About Content and Strategy

Or, to put it another way, what exactly helps a page grow

Yes, the content is extremely valuable when it comes to engagement (on-page interaction), as well as reach/awareness. He connects with the audience, inspires, and persuades. But how do you choose the right content? And here we’re not referring to the message or images, but to the type of content and how it’s presented.

It’s simple— it all starts with a strategy.

Facebook Page Strategy—A Few Essential Steps

Any strategy must be based on clearly defined objectives. These are determined based on the complexity of your business, the size of your organization, and the reason you chose Facebook as a communication channel for the services or products you offer.

You can already grab a piece of paper and a pen, draw a pyramid, and start listing, at its base, the major goals your organization has for the next 5, 7, or 10 years. If you haven’t set them yet, try doing an exercise to figure them out—it’s useful not just when it comes to Facebook, but in any context where you’re running a business.

At the next level, set your big goals, broken down into shorter time frames—for example, the first two years leading up to your big goal spanning more than five years. Move on and see what your goal is for the coming year. Now it’s time to make the transition to social media: How will this channel help you achieve next year’s goal, and by what percentage do you plan to grow through this platform? Once you’ve established these points, you can say that you’ve set your goal(s) for the coming year regarding how Facebook can help grow your organization.

Turn the goal into something tangible

It is nothing, however, unless it is surrounded by some tactics well-defined goals that will help make it a reality. So, once you’ve determined how you’ll achieve those goals—that is, the strategy you’ll use to reach them—it’s time to get to work and put down on paper all the tactics and methods you’ll use to implement that strategy. Once you have that list, prioritize them based on relevance, budget, and—most importantly—keeping your overarching, year-long goal in mind.

All that’s left to do is neatly organize all these tactics into a calendar, set deadlines and assign responsibilities, and get to work. :)

Promotional campaigns

But that’s not all…

You’re probably wondering—well, if I’m doing all the work, then what role does the agency play in this whole process? The agency is, in this case, the piece of the puzzle without which the picture wouldn’t be complete. In addition to goals, strategy, tactics, timeline, for a Facebook page to work, it needs an analysis of the target audience and potential target audience, an analysis of competition, the type of content that performs well, and engagement on the page. All of this will ultimately lead to the establishment of communication pillars and a brand voice that will bring on-page interaction to life and set the strategy in motion, alongside the other elements.

These communication pillars will focus on specific types of targeting and will shape communication plans (the actual content on the page, posts, events, etc.) based on your business plan and objectives. Furthermore, based on the analysis of these elements, the strategy will be finalized, laying the groundwork for the promotional plan to achieve these objectives.

Only when you can clearly define all these elements can you say that, yes, you have an online content strategy and that it will deliver results. Because, in this context, those results will be highly measurable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Strategy. Design. Impact.

According to statistics cited from brandwatch.com, out of more than 60 million active business pages, only 5 million invest financially in promotion, while the rest rely primarily on content. The article emphasizes, however, that without a clear strategy behind it, content alone is not enough for a page to grow.

It all starts with the organization’s major long-term goals—for 5, 7, or 10 years—which are then broken down into shorter time frames, all the way down to the specific goal for the coming year. Only after these goals have been set does the plan move to social media, calculating what percentage of growth should come through this channel.

Strategy is the tool that helps you achieve your goals, while tactics are the specific methods you use to implement that strategy. The article recommends that tactics be prioritized based on relevance and budget—always keeping the overarching goal in mind—and organized into a schedule with deadlines and assigned responsibilities.

In addition to objectives, strategy, tactics, and a timeline, an agency provides an analysis of the target audience and potential target audience, an analysis of the competition and the types of content that perform well, as well as actual on-page engagement. The article describes the agency as “the piece of the puzzle without which the picture would not be complete.”

It is the process of studying the page’s current and potential audience, along with what competitors are doing and how they are performing with similar content. These analyses form the basis for subsequent decisions regarding communication pillars and content plans.

The communication pillars and brand voice stem from an analysis of the target audience, the competition, and the types of content that perform well, and they are what bring the page to life, setting the strategy in motion. They focus on specific types of targeting and shape the communication plans—that is, the actual posts and events.

Start with the organization’s overarching goal, break it down into shorter time frames, identify the goal for the coming year, and then determine the growth rate that the Facebook platform should support. This exercise helps set a concrete and measurable goal for that year.

Because once the objectives, strategy, tactics, target and competitor analysis, communication pillars, and content plan are all clearly defined, each element can be tracked and evaluated in relation to the established objective. The article explicitly states that only then can you say you have a content strategy that will deliver results.
