The days of asking for engagement on Facebook have ended. With the latest algorithm changes, the social media giant is now punishing brands for low quality content like memes and content asking for likes/shares/comments. The new update “uses over a thousand different factors” to determine whether a post is of the quality they believe is the most interesting to your audience.
Using Power Editor, the advertising platform for Facebook, you are now able to add organic call-to-action buttons to posts with links in Facebook. Follow these steps to create CTAs on your Facebook posts:
