Replacement for X?

Curious if anyone has seen a new platform emerge as a replacement for X, formerly Twitter, specifically among the science, research and healthcare community. I’m a social media manager for a cancer treatment and research institution and X is a big part of our social strategy. As Bluesky and Mastadon are growing in popularity, I would love to know if any healthcare or research organizations have made the switch and if you are seeing a growing community of users interested in science or medical content.

Meta ads targeting small region

Kia ora (Hello). We are based in the Northland region of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We have a population of about 194,007.I actually have a few questions please:Given our population size, should we use detailed targeting? Meta recommends only using for populations of more than 2 million 😅 Is there a risk of running multiple ads at the same time, targeted at the Northland region? Is it best for us to try customise our target audiences based on our website traffic?Thank you.

How to add users to manage Facebook pages?

Our agency is working on helping some clients create their own Meta Business Portfolios so we can transfer assets to them and the clients can own their Pages. We understand Facebook’s policy against using secondary “work” profiles to manage these, but it’s hard to believe there isn’t a more efficient way to ensure someone’s personal profile is clearly separated from their work one, whether that’s due to personal boundaries or even just avoiding accidental postings from the wrong profile on a Page.I’ve seen a few recommendations to use Facebook’s “multiple profiles” feature, but I’m not understanding how that specific profile gets added to a Business Portfolio. Because you have to add someone with their email address, which is associated with their main profile. How do we only allow their alternate profile to be the admin? Does anyone have insights on how that works (or doesn’t)?Thanks in advance!

Paid ads over Christmas/New Year period - Yay or Nay?

Kia ora from Aotearoa (New Zealand).We are a local government organisation in the Northland region and are of the opinion that our type of messaging/content will not cut through the noise or resonate with our communities during the busy summer periods (December - January) and it’s best we keep our distribution low key. My question is - are we wrong? Our messages are generally shaped around rules and regulations e.g. Check the shipping calendar before heading out on the water, Check it’s safe swim before diving in (water quality), Help protect our environment this summer by XXXX. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Sunsetting business pages to create a centralized brand presence on Facebook

Has anyone ever worked on removing business Facebook pages for a large company with multiple store/service/business locations and centralizing brand presence on the platform to just the national brand page? I have done this previously in past businesses (though we offered the opportunity to move to a different singular platform with organic growth capability), but I have a colleague who is looking to learn if any other businesses have done this to better support their stance to their teams, and their situation is slightly different.They have about 300 Facebook business accounts that have been dormant for a while, so they are considering working with their teams to sunset those pages. Those 300 accounts are only about 30% of the total number of store/service business accounts, and because they are not considering sunsetting all accounts (only those that have remained inactive for long periods of time), they will inevitably be faced with concerns that they should allow the businesses the

How can our average engagement rate per reach increase but everything else decline?

These metrics are a result of auto-posting content across ~560 Facebook Pages, YoY. I understand engagements, impressions, and reactions increased because we included more Facebook Pages in our auto-posting throughout the year, which is why I wanted to pull in the average impressions/post, average reach/post, average engagements/post. I am confused on how average engagement rate per reach would increase despite other averages declining? What might this mean?

Meta's Conversions API - yes or no?

With Google (in theory) phasing out third-party cookies on Chrome next year and the impact this may have on Meta’s pixel - is your organisation looking to set up their Conversions API? Or are the costs for setting up server-side tracking prohibitive for you? Have you read any helpful articles on this topic?

Can you merge instagram and facebook pages?

We have aquired a company, and wanted to see if we could merge their business Facebook page and Instagram pages with our business Facebook and Instagram pages. Is this possible? I know we can add their pages to our business portfolio, but I wanted to know if we can merge them together (followers, etc.). I thought it was a few years ago, but may have changed. Thank you for any help - I always get the best resources here and I am so helpful!

Facebook Page - Acquisition

One of our businesses was recently acquired and I’m not sure what to do with the Facebook page since we do not own the name, customers or products anymore. The page has less than 100 followers, but the content/graphics have our logo and links to our website, contact info, etc. First thought was to just close the page down, but please comment if there is a better strategy.

need someone to bounce ideas off for task-based interview?

Hi everyone! I’ve got second round task-based interview which is quite punchy, so I’m looking for some community help. “demonstrating your strategic approach to growing a younger demographic audience for stocks and shares ISA, pension schemes considering the latest innovations and testing and budget. consider a budget of <£150 for short term wins, and £500-£800k for mid-long term growth opportunities” So, this will be across paid media but could be good to add organic into the mix too. It’s the “capturing the younger demographic” though. I feel like there has to be other avenues other than TikTok. OOH advertising at Unis etc? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! If you want to connect on LinkedIn to have a chat, let me know :)

Are frames useful on Instagram?

I’m the social media manager for a community bank that spans across Louisiana and Texas. Currently on our Instagram page, we put the majority of our pictures in branded frames. It’s just a kneejerk reaction from when the bank was smaller and needed to boost the brand recognition. Now that we’re a little larger, I’m not so sure it moves the needle at all and just clutters the feed. Does anyone have any insights about the use of branded frames on Instagram and whether or not they are actually helpful?

Instagram engagement is significantly down - anyone else finding this?

Over the last few months our Instagram engagement has considerably lowered and I am wondering if other brands are experiencing the same thing?And equally wondering if you have any theories on why. I know algorithm shifts have had an impact, but think there’s likely more to it than just that- i.e. is the election also a contributing factor?

Unsearchable TikTok Account

Does anyone have a contact at TikTok or have you run into this issue before? I recently started working at a university and something happened with their TikTok account where you can’t find it via search. When searching our university name/TikTok username (Washburn University), the “You’re not alone” page comes up instead of results. There’s no way to bypass the page. Obviously this sucks because it makes it extra hard for students to find our account. I tried submitting a support ticket, but it got me nowhere. Our account is in good standing, so it’s unclear why search results for our university are being filtered like this. I would really appreciate any insight or help!

Help with Facebook Verification

Hello can someone help to get my Facebook Page verified?We have tried 3 times but have been rejected without any reason. We've had a number of fake accounts set up in our name so we want to get verified asap as our customers are being asked to share their personal details.The issue I think is that we were set up by the UK government and do not have any articles of incorporation, only the Order and Rules that were issued in the Pensions Act 2008, which we have supplied. Any thoughts how we can get verified?And we don’t have a FB Account Manager as we don’t advertise enough.ThanksLisa
