Facebook Page Organic Search Killed Forever

3 Updates Killing Organic Facebook Page Reach1) Reduced Visibility of ‘Likes’ and ‘Comments’•Previously, if your friend liked or commented on a Page, regardless of whether you ‘like’ the Page or not, your friend’s like or comment would show up on your News Feed. The new Facebook update eliminates this possibility. It will be rare for you to see such engagement anymore.

2) Multiple Updates from same Page Visible•If there is no new content on the News Feed of the user; Facebook is going to show multiple posts from the same Page. If you are a Page Admin and think this will benefit you, think again because the above condition will only work if there is no new content for the user and if the user is not a regular Facebook user, it won’t work much to your advantage.

3) “Balance of Content”•“Balance of Content” means Facebook is going to show updates from Friends, their status updates, images, videos and other shares, on your News Feed more frequently than the updates from Facebook Pages.
