Why You Should Install, and Setup Facebook Comments in WordPress

1. Increases Social Engagement

Is it this what every marketer is looking for? It is the easiest way for you to sell your goods or services. When you allow people to read and comment on your content, that’s how the level of engagement begins and slowly increases in due time.

If you are active on Facebook, it is easy to build massive engagement because the number of active Facebook users is extremely high. You find many followers tweaking about your posts as long as you are continually updating your content. Most of them will be repeat visitors who find your blogs interesting, and friends of friends who also want to contribute on the same tweak.

2. Improved Credibility

Unlike before, people are using Facebook to apply for job positions, form an informal community group, and those with equal interest and goals also group together. With this in mind, they have to use their real identity. Those commenting on your content, therefore, improve the integrity of your conversation. Although you don’t know them personally, you tend to give them credit based on that.

Facebook places those with many likes from followers on top of the page. Therefore, it is rare to find spammers in that category. It gives assurance that those on top are credible; otherwise, you don’t get on top if you don’t have a high number of followers, and that means your integrity is on point.
