Facebook for 2026
The best strategy for Facebook engagement includes post 3 to 5 times per week. If you post more than twice daily, it can trigger algorithm penalties if you have a smaller Facebook page.
A great Facebook post is made up of engaging visuals, concise text captions (40-80 characters is ideal), and strong CTAs. Move external links to the first comment of your post (unless you pay for the blue verified checkmark).
Using Meta Business Suite is a great way to schedule your Facebook posts in advance for consistency.
