What is the difference between the “Follow” and “Like”?
It is important to note that recently Facebook allows select “Follow” your page in addition to “Like”. Once your target audience clicks the “Like” button on your page, they automatically become even followers, unless they opted out from to follow. Conversely, if the target audience clicks on the “Follow”, they just follow you.
This change has several causes. When the main reason is:
- Like – people who click “like” are your fans or your brand, and they automatically follow you and your publications. Your fans can be your customers, suppliers or others whose fans you. Also, those who have liked your page, your page will appear in his personal profile under “liked items.” Unless privacy settings were changed and not everyone can see the pages they have liked.
- Follow – who clicked on the “Follow” is interested to see your publications mainly. They are not your fans or your brand, but only want to read your publications. Your page will not appear in the personal profile of the target audience.
How to see who is following you and who liked you?
First of all when you get “like” or “follow”, you are notified directly on the management of your business page. But if you are interested to know of one who likes or follows you, including their names, it does not matter if it’s a private profile or business page (yes, even business page can like another page, and it will appear on your page).
To see it, you must go to the Settings page >> tab “People and other pages”, where you can see all the people who like, everyone who follow, all pages have liked and people and pages are blocked. If you want to give someone a role, highlight it in V, click on the gear and defining a role. This way you can also remove someone from likes or even block it.
Why the numbers of followers and liked are not the same and how to calculate?
As we said before, not all must like your page, but only to”follow” and thus you will have one follow and zero fan. On the other hand, as soon as someone liked, he automatically becomes also a follower, then you will have one fan and one follower, but if he cancels “Follow” Then there will be a decrease of one follower.
- Number of Likes in business page = all who have liked your page.
- Number of Followers in business page = all who have liked your page -minus- anyone who stopped following you +Plus+ all those who choose just to follow you.
