How the Algorithm Works Today
The Facebook algorithm of 2025 rewards authentic engagement and meaningful content — not mere frequency or volume. Facebook has moved to encourage content that fuels conversations and keeps users on its site.
Key Ranking Signals:
- Meaningful Interaction: Comments, shares and replies trump likes.
- Content type: Favour video — Reels and Lives are particularly favoured.
- Audience Interaction History: The more people interact with your content, the more frequently they’ll be shown it.
- Time on Site: The longer a user stays (and reads) content for, the higher it is ranked.
Being Consistently Relevant to Your Niche
When you post consistently within your niche, it gives the algorithm clear signals about who your audience is. However, pages that cover a specific theme and post consistently performed better in terms of reach and engagement.
Pro Tip: Stay in your lane and niche down. A fitness brand, for example, should focus on wellness tips, workouts, and motivational content — not memes out of nowhere.
