How Facebook ranks content and evaluates Page activity.
Facebook personalizes Feed using multiple signals and predictions. Page followers, post interactions, recommendations eligibility, and account status are related but distinct concepts.

What actually drives Facebook reach now.
Meta describes Feed ranking as a process that considers available content, signals, predictions about user interest, and relevance. It does not publish the universal Page Quality Score formula previously described here. Account or Page status information should not be treated as a numerical ranking score, and the weighting of reactions, comments, or shares is not a fixed exchange rate.
Following a Page can make its posts eligible to appear in someone's Feed, but does not guarantee that each post will be delivered. A purchased Page-like count cannot establish genuine interest, customer intent, or distribution. Likewise, there is no verified first-two-hour window in which bought post reactions reliably push a post past a published distribution threshold.
Evaluate Page growth through relevant audience interactions and outcomes in the available analytics. Meta has explicitly described reducing the reach of accounts that game engagement and restricting monetization for such behavior. Ask providers about their methods and evidence, and do not equate visible profiles, delivery pacing, or a premium package with compliance.

Research angles
Popular questions our Facebook research covers.
Page status and ranking
Separate account-status information from Facebook's personalized Feed ranking signals.
Post engagement timing
Why timing correlations do not prove that buying early reactions causes broader reach.
Video views and Reels
Check current video formats and metric definitions instead of relying on old Watch assumptions.
Group vs. Page engagement
Compare the audience and purpose of each surface without assuming one always has greater organic reach.
FAQ
Facebook — common questions.
- Is buying Facebook Page likes worth it?
- A larger counter does not establish an interested audience or useful reach. Assess relevant interactions and business outcomes, and account for Meta's rules against artificial engagement. We have no verified return or retention rate for purchased Page likes.
- Do bought post reactions help reach?
- We have no reliable evidence that bought reactions produce a predictable reach benefit. Facebook uses multiple personalized ranking signals, and Meta can reduce distribution for engagement gaming. A provider's timing promise does not establish an exception.
