We’ve all had that moment: You walk into a business and you’re greeted by that blue thumb that seems to be everywhere, with a note crying, “Like us on Facebook!” How many times do you actually follow through? I know for me, it’s almost never.

Using the Facebook Insights tool, a page manager can see:
It’s not enough anymore to post a funny picture or share a clever line. You have to connect with your followers. A smart Facebook page manager won’t just ask a user to like their page or a particular post. They’ll give them a reason to do it.
