Frequently Asked Questions

Who will see my business posts?

• Business posts don’t use a fixed radius or mileage. Distribution depends on how your post performs in the feed.
• The more neighbors engage with your post (for example, reactions, comments, clicks), the more likely it is to be shown to additional neighbors over time.
• Neighbors who have Faved your business are eligible to see your posts.

How many posts can my business share?
Businesses posting is unlimited, however excessive posting/spam is against our Community Guidelines.

How do Events work?
Business events appear in the newsfeed as a post. Neighbors within a 10 mile radius of the event's location will also see it while browsing events. You'll get a notification when neighbors RSVP to your event.

What types of posts receive the most engagement?
Posts that are community-focused, kind, and informative will receive more engagement than explicitly commercial posts.
