Is it better post the whole article on Facebook or just post a link to it?

    Depends on the nature of your page's "audience" and your communication style and relationship with them. Generally speaking, "make it clean and easy" is a good credo. For many longform-averse readers that can mean a summary and link is appealing. But there are exceptions to this (depending on the factors above as well as things like whether a paywall blocks the linked article)

      but if it's a link wouldn't it be long-form content at the destination page? what's the difference between that and clicking "See More" on FB?

        If the first page is long, it will turn off many. If it's a summary, they'll read it and, if interested, they'll click on the link to read the whole thing... Which, by the way, should be written for reader and for skimmers. (i.e., highlight / underscore important parts, so skimmers notice what you want them to notice).


        So, you may get more of the people interested to read with an enticing paragraph + link than with the whole article.

    I would rather send people to my article with a link and a short description because once they are on my website, they can be drawn to consume even more content.

    Why help Facebook have their attention?

    You can post a short portion of your regular website content and then post a link for further interactions. Thank you!

    I think a short eye catching ad will do.

    Then send that traffic to the article page.

    Provide a summary and link back to your original article. You can also add an appropriate image using Canva.

    Hello, Actually it depends on the page which product you are promoting, Sometimes you don't want to write an article and sometimes you have to add an article so that users grab your product or service.

    In my view, it is best to post the whole article content on Facebook. Another way is to post an intro about the article and then posted the link to the article so that the readers are aware of what is the link about. But don't post only the link without any explanation of the article.
