Facebook have messed up my page audience reach

    Hello everyone

    I am an admin of a facebook page with over 1.2million followers. Our page posts mainly video content posting around 3 - 5 videos a day. We gained all our likes/followers organically and we have never paid facebook to advertise our page or posts. Since December 14th we noticed the audience reach & engagement had become abnormal and decreased dramatically which we didn't understand why this happened suddenly with no reason.

    We have never stopped posting and have always kept the page active and we have been posting the same content which grew our page to where it is so it didn't make sense how the audience reach could just drop like that so suddenly.

    we have other pages which have way less likes/followers but the audience reach is now higher on those pages. For example we have another page which has 100k followers and the audience reach is higher there than on our page with 1.2m followers which is crazy.

    Our page used to grow at a rate of around 1000 - 3000 likes a day but since December 14th until today our page has only grown by 2000 likes which doesn't make sense either.

    Also when we search for our page videos they no longer come up in facebook watch/facebook videos.

    We believe this is a technical bug from facebook because there is no way how this can make sense. We have pages who we are competing with and post similar content and their page hasn't been affected but only our page has, their video views & reach still looks normal so we just dont understand why facebook would do this to our page. We have done everything right in growing the page so this has to be a technical bug or mistake from facebook.

    Somebody please help us find out what has happened because we have years of experience running facebook pages and this makes no sense at all.

    Thank you

    You should contact the Facebook support for this. They will surely help you to find the problem behind the decrease in your audience reach.

    Facebook's new algorithm makes it difficult using a page to advance your business, recently, they went back to the theme and model of their business- which is sharing your moments with friends. Occasionally, you get to see contents from pages on your feeds and time line, its more of stuff from your peeps. So it's either you do paid ads, or better still remodel your business to meet with the new algo!
