TYPES of content to integrate in your plan:
• Written – these are your articles and blog posts shared as link posts on yourFacebookPage.TIP for link posts: ensure you have the proper dimensions for the imagethatgetsdisplayedwithyourlinkposts(intheNewsFeedandonyourPage).It’s 1200 pixels by 627 pixels.UseatoollikeCanva that has a template – it’s the oneforFacebookAds. IfyourblogusesWordPress,useaPlugin likeWordPressSEO by Yoast – go to the ‘Social’ tab of the plugin and upload the image you want in the‘Facebookimage’section
