The Benefits & Downfalls Facebook Groups vs. Facebook Pages

Key Takeaways Covered In The Podcast Facebook’s algorithm updates are making it even more difficult to connect with your audience via Facebook Page posts. A Facebook Page is a public-facing page that anyone can view. It is ranked with Google Search. A Facebook Group is more exclusive—you can decide whether it’s open, closed or secret. The goal is to bring together a sense of community and support around a specific topic. The biggest reasons you would want a Facebook Page: You want to run Facebook ads, you want to gain greater insight into the analytics of your posts, and you want to drive traffic to your website (or take some other action). The biggest reasons you would want a Facebook Group: You want to be part of a community, you want to have greater collaboration with your audience, you want to choose who is part of your community, and you want your audience to see your posts more often. The one thing you need to remember above all else… Not all Facebook Pages can be turned into Facebook Groups. Realize that Pages and Groups have different purposes and offer different opportunities.
