Facebook has been giving publishers the chance to explore a vast audience through the medium of ads and banners. The publishers, however, in most cases, are not able to acquire more than a set percentage of the audience. It includes the viewers who like your business page just to have a look at the posts published. The page is further hidden by the audiences who usually engage with the page.
In case you feel Facebook has not been that fair to you, then do not worry. Things are just going to get better thanks to all the features released by Facebook over time. You can now reach a wider audience thanks to these tools. You now get to target the posts and publish the existing posts in a better way.

Interest Targeting
Facebook Ad sets can now be targeted based upon a number of factors. One of these is Interest Targeting. You can do geographical targeting using the predefined values e.g. the country “Canada” and the city “Vancouver”.
When you post the ad to your page, you can select “targeting” and decide who all would be able to see your posts. You cannot automatically make the posts reach more interested people, but with some extra edge over the insights, you can come up with some smarter ways to enhance your engagement.
In addition to these, you can use the following plugins to attain better reachability:
- AdEspresso by HootSuite
- Adroll
