By use of Facebook Audience Insights, isolate specific demographics of people. This will help you curate your content to suit and appeal to the audience. Drill down to country or region(s) where your audience is based.

To better define your audience, you can refine it based on age and gender, depending on your page or business focus.

2. Narrow down to niche interests

4. Post appealing content

Curate your content based on one of the niche interest. This post needs to be as intriguing as possible to encourage engagement.

Your goal should be to encourage as much engagement with your posts as possible.
