Facebook Reach is one of the main KPIs which measure the performance of any Social Media specialist; so we need first to know & study well the classification of it.
Facebook Reach mainly classified into three sections:
- Organic Reach: your direct number of fans & followers who see your posts once you post it; Mainly & as officially communicate
d from Facebook is that your post should reach (2%-16%) from your fan base. However this ratio is changing inversely proportional with the - total number of fans; as much as your page fan base increase the organic ratio decrease. Most of the pages with more than 1 million fans their organic reach is less than 1%.
- Viral Reach: as the organic reach will be delivered to low percentage of the fan base; your fans will interact with share, like or comment on it. Fans’ friends will see their interactions on this post & they may be already fans on your page or not; this is what we called Viral Reach. Facebook cancelled the viral reach & include it in the organic reach to find the post reach classified into paid & organic only.
- Paid Reach: is very clear that it is based on the amount spent on your ads to reach more people and see your posts
