Boost Your Social Page Engagement With Updated Covers

It all comes down to how to bring more attention to your Facebook Page.

You should be posting content regularly by sharing new photos, videos and yes, your cover photo.

Can you gain more attention by changing your cover? YES!!

Because of Facebook’s algorithm, people who follow your page won’t always see your posts as often as you’d like, even if they scroll down their news feed.

A quick way to boost facebook engagement and views is to update your cover image, which will immediately show up in the news feed of everyone who has liked your page. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
