How to Use Facebook Search to Find Your Marketing Audience
A great tool you can use to locate your ideal audience on Facebook is Facebook Search. This tool allows you to enter keywords in a search field, and the people, groups, and Pages that are using your keyword(s) will show up in a list. Facebook Search is an ideal tool for anyone looking to connect with people who share interests or views.
When you do a search using Facebook Search, you can find information that users add to their About section and post in their status updates, as well as information about the groups and Pages users interact with. This tool is a very powerful one, to say the least.
Here’s how to use Facebook Search:
Log in to your Facebook account, and locate the search query field at the top of the page.
