Imagine knowing what the favourite interests are of the people who like your Facebook business page. You would always be able to post content that would engage them!
Or knowing which Facebook groups they have joined…..so you could find other like minded fans and build your page?
Facebook Graph Search can tell you just that. But, since it's launch, it has only been rolled out gradually, and has not yet reached many account holders.
What is Facebook Graph Search?
Graph Search uses the information that people store on their Facebook profiles to find out who or what connects them. For a marketer, this is incredibly powerful, and can help you target more of your ideal customer – by finding out who and what your existing fans or friends are connected to.
