In a previous article, we saw how the Facebook algorithm works. In particular, we learned that for each post, Facebook goes through 4 steps to determine its visibility:
Inventory: how much place is available for this post?
Signals: what are the theoretical success factors for this post?
Prediction : according to these signals, what would be the predicted engagement on this post?
Score: what is the final score of this post?
Depending on this score, the publication is more or less visible to its community. Today, we look in more detail at the signals that can work in our favor to optimize the organic visibility of our Facebook page posts

What are the criteria for creating content to promote a better visibility of your Facebook posts?
Your Facebook content creation should focus on four factors to promote visibility on the newsfeed:
Affinity, or the propensity of users to be interested in your content. Let’s not forget that Facebook’s golden rule is to show content that makes sense to a target audience. Your post must therefore resonate, be useful and bring real added value to your audience. Affinity measures the relationship between a person who posts and the person who will see that post.
Engagement, or popularity of a post in terms of likes, reactions, comments and shares. The more engagement your post has, the more relevant Facebook will find you—and the more likely it is to give you exposure. Engagement is also used as a measurement to calculate affinity. This means that the higher your daily engagement, the more Facebook will increase your affinity with your audience.
The type of content, or how Facebook interprets how your various content formats are used. According to the algorithm, videos—especially live shows-carry more weight than an image, which ranks better than links. Likewise, a comment is more important than a reaction and a reaction is perceived better than a simple like. Sharing outclasses everything. As a result, a comment on an image will have more impact than the same action on a link. Finally, commenting on a live video is better received by Facebook than watching the entire video.
Recency, or date of post. Facebook sees no point in presenting dated content to its users and views recent posts as more appealing. In fact, being regular, posting frequently and always creating exclusive content on your page will be seen as an indicator of recency by Facebook’s algorithm. Even more important: it is crucial for a post to generate engagement quickly so that Facebook does not consider everything obsolete. From there arises the question of knowing how to post at the right time when your audience is most receptive. If a post has worked well but is considered less recent, then there is always the option of “boosting” it to regain visibility.
