I've started the series of blog articles about 101 things to do in our area. We also have a very active FB page.
Here's the conundrum:
At the PAII conference, they emphasized how google has changed significantly and continues to evolve and how it has impacted the organic listings of a lot of b&bs. One of the biggies is duplicate content. If you are listed on multiple directories, listings, etc. the description on your inn, rooms and services needs to be different than what is on your website. By the way, they said that the easiest way to correct this is not to go to all the listings, but to change what's on your website, that way you only have to do it once.
I knew that info before, but what I didn't know is that it also applies to your FB posts. On our FB page, I've been copying and pasting my blog posts to post on FB because when I do, I get a lot of interaction with my fans. When I just let the blog feed into FB, rarely do people pay attention. I might get 1 or 2 likes, as opposed to 20 or more when I copy and paste. Since FB has changed to only feeding your post into a small % of your fans newsfeed, not having the interaction because of the blog feed (as opposed to copy/paste) will also lower the % of feed to your fans.
Short of re-writing the blog article which I will not do, do you see any other way to get more fan interaction from a blog feed as a post? I've tried asking a question to get the interaction after the blog feed, but that doesn't seem to do it.
