What do these changes mean for you as a dentist?

One of the biggest changes is the removal of “Likes” due to the misrepresentation of a Page’s true popularity. It was discovered that many Facebook users may have once “Liked” a Page, but later unfollowed in an effort to remove the updates from their News Feed.
Now Facebook says Followers of a Page will be the metric at the forefront of the new experience, as it’s a better indication of how many people are fans and actively receiving updates from a Page.

Another important change is Pages having their own News Feed. This is incredible as it means your Page can represent your brand even further by participating in conversations with your online community, following trends and interacting with patients. What’s more important to note is that when a user follows a Page, they’ll see that Page’s comments bumped up to the top of the comments section, fantastic for increased visibility and according to Facebook, users will also be able to follow a Page directly from comments and recommended posts.

Finally, the new Q&A format will allow Pages to engage with their fans on a new level. Page followers can ask the questions about treatments, the dental team or any concerns they may have and when the Page answers, those become a stack of questions that people can swipe through to learn more. Amazingly useful for those frequently asked questions at your dental practice.

How are you going to make the most of the new updates?
