RELEVANT STORIES

get organically placed

into John’s

news feed

John

The most relevant

stories are being

shown to John in his

news feed.

In this case, your

brand story was

relevant enough that it

was shown to John

organically.

Anna

Anna attended a

wedding this week

and all of her friends

are posting about it.

Because of this

engagement from her

friends, they will be

shown in her feed.

As a result, your

brand’s Page post

may not appear

organically or will

appear below all of

these friend stories.

But…

You can promote it as

a sponsored story, so

that it will appear in

Anna’s feed, or

appear higher than it

would have

organically.
