Local context
Where Facebook can still fit
Facebook can be useful for local campaigns where community discovery, events, recommendations, groups, and page followers matter.
- Local events, venue updates, restaurant offers, salon launches, classes, and community announcements.
- Creators or community voices with relevant local trust.
- Campaigns where comments, shares, and discussion matter more than polished content.
- Businesses with active Facebook pages, groups, or local customer communities.
Campaign rules
What to handle carefully
Facebook content can move through pages, profiles, and groups, so businesses should be careful with disclosure, group rules, moderation, and post tracking.
- Check whether group posts are allowed and whether promotions are permitted.
- Use clear disclosure where content is incentivised.
- Track links, comments, post status, and where the content appeared.
- Avoid asking creators to make unsupported claims or hide commercial relationships.
