The Facebook New Page Experience Changes – January 2021

There is a Facebook New Page Experience in town with a bunch of fairly useful but small changes. How does this impact YOU?

Let me know when you get notified!!

BYE BYE PAGE LIKES HELLO FOLLOWERS

All those likes you worked so hard for and said please Like my page at the end of every email, text, and newsletter? They will all be left as FOLLOWERS. One of the main differences is that someone could Like your page but Un-Follow it and then not get Page updates. A Follower is much more likely to see your content in their Facebook Feed.

NEW PAGES EXPERIENCE

Switching to the New Pages Experience will be optional for now and as per normal available to only some pages. Here’s what you can expect and a couple of important clarifications:

First look at your page and determine the Likes and Followers: Just checking it out on Wellman Works, Ltd. – 1,017 Total Page Likes and 1,200 Followers

🤔 WHAT HAPPENS TO PAGE LIKES WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE NEW PAGES EXPERIENCE? (thank you Mari Smith)
🔹 If someone likes and follows your classic Page, they will continue to be a follower for the new Page and added to your total follower count.
🔹 If someone likes your classic Page, but does not follow it, they will not transfer to your new Page as a follower.
🔹 If someone follows your classic Page, but does not choose to like it, they will still transfer to your new Page as a follower.
🔹 Page likes will not be supported on your new Page, and Page like count will no longer be accessible.
🤔 WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SWITCH BACK TO CLASSIC PAGE?
🔹 Your followers will remain the same.
🔹 You will still have all the likes from your classic Page, unless they unfollowed your new Page.
🔹 All Followers in the New Page and will be added to Follows for your classic Page.

Other features in the New Pages Experience include:
✔︎ A simpler and more intuitive redesigned layout
✔︎ A dedicated News Feed like on Classic Pages – however, this new feed is “to discover and join conversations, follow trends, interact with peers and engage with fans”  and possibly there will be  ADS in this new News Feed. (More Ads Placements)
✔︎ Navigation easier between personal profile and Pages
✔︎ Admin controls full or partial access
For Facebook’s  full list of new features here:
When you get access these are suggested recommendations.
Before you change: Make a post or two to encourage your Page Likes to become Followers – and possibly a Sponsored Messages Campaign to connect with your Page Likes.
BONUS:
See if you can FOLLOW personal profiles as your PAGE! (Enabling Follow on your personal profile is optional.)
