-Employee recognition posts

-General information you’ve posted about your products or services

Using the Activity Log to manage stories

It might be a lot of scrolling to go through all of your wall posts and comments in order to find the ones you want to highlight. That’s why Facebook offers the Activity Log to help you see all of your posts in a more condensed view.

To access the activity log, click on Manage in the admin panel:

Then click on Use Activity Log:

This is your activity log. From here you can sort by date, month, and type of post. If you want to work on highlighting customer compliments like today’s task instructs, click on the All button in the top right, and then click on Posts by Others:

Do you have any questions? Suggestions on stories to highlight? Let us know in the comment section.

According to Facebook, these page changes must be done by March 30th. If you don’t have the time to devote to updating your business page, email me, and I will set it up for you for $150.
