How To Like-Gate Your Facebook Page

With so much evolving in the Facebook Marketing category, it’s sometimes hard to keep up with all the terms and strategies. Recently we’ve gotten a number of people asking us the question “What is Like-Gating” along with “How do I Like-Gate my Facebook Page?” We’ve got the answer to both of those questions! What Is Like Gating? Like-Gating is when you force a Facebook user who has not already liked your Page to like your Page before they can see content on a particular custom Facebook tab (or application – they’re the same). Here is more information on our Facebook apps.. What Is The Point of Like-Gating? The point of a Like-Gate is to increase the number of Facebook users who Like your Facebook Page. A recent article on Mashable in fact shows how Audi has used Like-Gate techniques to increase engagement. You see this done frequently when a company forces you to like their Page before you can redeem a coupon or enter a contest (similar to how our tool). But some companies don’t use a Like-Gate to give anything away at all – they use it to have more exclusive content, or simply to boost their likes by

Case Studies: Facebook Like-Gating (Fan-Gating) Does It Work?

We think so. Below is a presentation I gave at SMX West recently that gives a couple of examples of how effective like-gating a contest, or particular tab can be. Note: Remember, don’t focus too much on “likes” as if running up your numbers are the answer, you still need to engage your fans, compliment them for “liking” your page, but in the end, you are not twisting their arm, nor asking them to give you their blood type, but just to “like” your page so they can see the content behind…They can easily “un-like” your page instantly. Ok, here we go! In a previous post here, we explained what like-gating your Facebook tab or page is, and how to do it, for this post we are going to focus only on results of this option. Below is a image of what your default page looks like after you have added the like-gate feature. In this slide below, we illustrate how effective like-gating your page can be depending on how aggressive you are with your marketing. Varying factors result in higher “likes” such as posting good quality stories “content”, launching Facebook ads around your campaign, using your default page as

Can You Calculate The Advertising Effectiveness of Facebook Pages?

The talk around social media often revolves around ROI and how it is impossible to track or monitor.  While I was not around when advertising agencies first started using impressions as a way to determine ad value I do know that the same belief holds true… if they see it they will talk about it and if they talk about it they will buy it.  Based on that model I wanted to take a look at Facebook Pages and determine if in fact one could really calculate the advertising effectiveness of Facebook Pages. In this case study I am only looking at Facebook Pages, not Facebook Advertising.  I am operating under the premise that the businesses I review on Facebook are in fact using their Pages as an advertisement. By in fact having a presence on Facebook these companies are receiving impressions and therefore can put a value on their page based on the number of Facebook Users who Like their page and interact on it similar to values placed on CPI (cost per impression) that online marketers use and can then determine the ROI of this platform of social media. This 3 part case study will analyze 3 different businesses
