They should focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Entertainment and education<\/strong> \u2013 for example: language tips, interesting facts, learning methods presented in a light, fun, entertaining format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Substance<\/strong> \u2013 purely educational content, such as your free ebook or teaching aids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promotion and offers<\/strong> \u2013 for example: information about courses, promotions, new arrivals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These three categories are divided according to the 4-1-1 rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4 posts<\/strong> should provide entertainment value through education,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 post<\/strong> should be substantive,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 post<\/strong> should be sales-oriented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For many language schools \u2013 especially those that don\u2019t have their own website \u2013 a Facebook page is, right after <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.langlion.com\/en\/the-google-business-card-of-a-language-school-why-is-it-worthwhile-to-have-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Google Business Profile<\/a>, the first point of contact for potential students in the online world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.langlion.com\/en\/author\/michal-szymanski\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blog.langlion.com\/en\/author\/michal-szymanski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Micha\u0142 Szyma\u0144ski<\/strong><\/a><em><strong>, Marketing Specialist at LangLion<\/strong><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anchor5\"><strong>5. Use automatic responses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t always reply immediately, and you don&#8217;t work 24\/7. However, you can set up a <strong>Response Assistant<\/strong> in Messenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to it, you will be able to send an automatic response when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>you are away from your computer, phone, or the Internet,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you don&#8217;t have time to immediately reply to a client&#8217;s message,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>your employees are outside of working hours,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you want to greet someone who has written to you for the first time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to enable automatic replies on Messenger on your Facebook page?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Log into your Facebook account and go to the page you manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the menu on the left, select the &#8222;Inbox&#8221; option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the &#8222;Inbox&#8221; section, click &#8222;Automations.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up and save all the automatic responses that are useful for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.langlion.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Grafiki-na-bloga-2-e1741965971124.png\" alt=\"facebook inbox\" class=\"wp-image-6312\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anchor6\"><strong>6.

Check it regularly to not miss business opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anchor8\"><strong>8. Solve the problem with link thumbnails<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If Facebook does not pull the image from a link, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/tools\/debug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Meta Sharing Debugger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Sharing Debugger<\/strong> allows you to check what information is shared from your site on Facebook and Messenger. The <strong>Batch Invalidator<\/strong> allows you to refresh this data for multiple URLs at once. Thanks to <strong>Open Graph<\/strong>, you have control over the appearance of shared content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anchor9\"><strong>9.
