Facebook Promoted posts

I have been promoting posts on our Facebook page with some good results. Am I aable to determine the Day /time the post is promoted? As ideally we want to be promoting the post when people are awake? Thanks for your help

Hardley111,
Mike Roberts mentioned a section when your friends are online. Check to see if they go hand in hand with your findings as to when people are online and click.
I am not sure, maybe others can fill in as to setup when promoted posts are run from FB's side. You do have the option to manually pause each post. If your assumption is valid, you can post when your audience is online and pause the promoted post when you feel satisfied with the reach. Otherwise it will continue for a day. Testing is a key here
Hope this helps

Promoting a post technically boosts it for an entire day now (used to be 3 days). So you'll reach your fans with a Sponsored post whenever they happen to log on in that 24 hour period and look at their Newsfeed. Same goes for if you're using the targeting feature to reach the friends of fans or if you're using one of the other targeting features likes location, age, gender, etc.
If you want a better idea of what time your fans are online, the updated Facebook Insights for a page now shows a graph of what times of day your page's fans tend to be online. If you have the new Page Insights, click into insights then go to Posts and there will be a section called "When Your Fans Are Online".

Hi Vadim sorry I should have provided a bit more info. We promoted an existing post and had a budget of $30 . The post consited of clicking a link to our site to win some beauty products, With the goal being to increase our data base as people need to sign up when the enter the competition
What i found is that , with Facebook staggering the boost, we spent $25 in one go and got 73 clicks. When they spent the remaining budget of $5 we got 52 clicks which seems proportionality high in comparison. (we targeted non fans who are demographically similar to our fans, as most of our fans are currently on the DB)
I was wondering why there was such a difference across the boost and put it down to people not being logged in as they are either asleep or at work at the time the post was 'boosted',. Hence Id like to time prescisely when i promote a post and was wondering if anyone knows how to do this?

Are you able to give a few pointers on your strategy for using promoted posts? This is something I am interested in, but never really got into it.

https://bufferapp.com/app analyzes the best time to post a post after analyzing most active time of your followers. You auto schedule a post and then once its live you promote the post for an extra boost.
Hope this helps!

Does Facebook Messages count as a social signal factor?
Hi, We know that social signals are usually referred to as a webpage's collective likes, comments or shares. But what about the Facebook messages generated from the messenger plugin on a web page? Especially on a business page, if one business page receives hundreds of Facebook messages through a landing page or blog page, does that count as social shares? And how effective is social signals are for a website in 2020? Although social engagement is always good for any website, my question is, how logical is it to purchase "social signal gigs" from konker or Fiverr or other gig markets? We run a social media marketing company in Australia, our website: https://www.playchat.com.au and we get a lot of messages every day through the messenger add on from our home page. Will that make any difference whatsoever? Looking forward to hearing from you. I appreciate any help you can provide.

Facebook Name Change and Effect on SEO
Hey Mozzers! Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter. Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them. Any one had any experience in this area?

Is there a way to set up a business Facebook page without linking it to a client's personal page or having to use our own employee's personal page?
Our clients want us to manage their FB pages. I need to know how we can do this without having to enter through the FB page of whomever set up the business account. I'm aware of the ability of the person who set up the Business page to allow admin access, but that too requires an our employee to give his or her personal FB info for this access. In the same vein, a former employee set up a client's FB page using his own personal account and now when we enter the client's business page, we do not have access to the search window and we don't have the ability to go to other pages to "like" other pages - the button doesn't even appear if we are signed in and search a FB page through an engine. We do have the ability to see Admin settings and metrics but we don't have the news feed, and we have other limited access/abilities. I would like to have a central access so neither client or our employee has to offer personal FB log in information. Thank you, Julie
