Did you know that you can publish on your Facebook page choosing that only the english-speaking audience (or french-speaking, or spanish-speaking) can see your post?

Visibility & Editing

How do I control who can see my Page’s posts?

There are 2 ways to control who can see your Page’s posts:

  • Limit your post’s audience so only certain people can see it anywhere on Facebook
  • Target your post to certain audiences in News Feed

If less than 5,000 people like your Page, you’ll need to first make sure you’ve allowed targeting and privacy options for your Page:

  1. Click Settings at the top of your Page
  2. From General, click News Feed Audience and Visibility for Posts
  3. Click to check the box next to Allow News Feed audience selection and post visibility options for this Page
  4. Click Save Changes

Limit Your Post’s Audience

When you limit your post’s audience, you can choose who can see your post based on their age, gender, location or language. For example, if you limit the language of your post’s audience to Spanish, only people who have Spanish set as their language on Facebook or list Spanish as one of their languages on their profile will be eligible to see your post on your Page, in News Feed and in search.

To limit your post’s audience:

  1. Click before publishing your post.
  2. Select Demographics.
  3. In the Audience Restrictions section, select the age, gender or languages of the people you want to see your post. You can also select locations you want to include or exclude from seeing your post.
  4. Click Save.

Keep in mind that even if people share your Page’s post with their friends, only friends in the audience you choose for the post will be able to see it.

Target Your Post in News Feed

You can add targeting (ex: interests, age) to your Page post so that certain audiences are more likely to see it in News Feed. Unlike limiting your post’s audience, adding News Feed targeting doesn’t affect who can see the post on your Page. Keep in mind that if someone engages with this post, their friends may see it even if they aren’t in the target audience.

To add targeting:

  1. Clickbefore publishing your post.
  2. In the News Feed Targeting section, enter or adjust the targeting for one or more of the demographics.
  3. Click Save.

As you add targeting, the number of people your post is estimated to reach to will update at the bottom.
