Social media 'reach'

[BustersDogs]

Just an idle question, I posted a link onto my work facebook page this morning, as I do most mornings, and a dog magazine with over one million likes shared it about 30 minutes ago. My reach has gone through the roof for a normal post, but there's nothing on the dog magazine's share to indicate it came from my page. No 'via Busters Dogs', nor my comments that I put on my share of the link.

Does my page get any benefit from this sharing? My post is currently showing as having
6,682 people reached

Normally I'm lucky to get a 10th of that over a couple of days, so I'm just wondering, if there is any benefit to my facebook page to having all this 'reach' if no-one actually sees my page from it anyway? No new 'likes' so far... And before you say it, I'm not 'chasing likes', I just use my page to chat to my current customers, and share their dogs' daily activities, and if I put on an event to share that in facebook groups etc to try to get customers/visitors to that event.

But it would be nice to take advantage of this bonus if I can in some way...

Was it a link to your own website? If so you may have seen an uplift in visitors to your site etc?

I wouldn't worry about someone seeing your page thanks to the "reach" in Glasgow as they are worthless to you. And people looking for you locally will no doubt find you via your website. Don't waste your time on it.

No I was sharing a news article.

Not quite true, I train dog walkers from all over the country.

Didn't realise you needed training for that!!

That's why I am interested in benefiting from reach, to educate people.

Puppies have been killed by other dogs in dog walker vans, dogs 'stolen', lost, had fights, etc plus all the business side, although any one can go through that with them there are still certain things you need to be in the industry to know about - licences needed, and an understanding of the laws related to dogs being an example.

Have you seen an increase in visitors to your site or has the phone been ringing? If not then the share had no value.

99.9% of the people who liked the dog magazine Facebook page won't even see the shared link; it will have dropped off the bottom of their newsfeed within a couple of hours. So well done for getting the share but the moment has passed.
