But often, our audience responds to subtleties that they may not even be aware of. The truth is, what we find visually appealing and why is nigh on impossible to properly define. Small changes to the appearance or content of your social media posts can impact how likely your audience is to engage.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you work in digital, you are no doubt already familiar with the value that A\/B testing can bring. Website content and emails have long been popular subjects for testing, with publishers looking to tailor experiences as precisely as possible to the tastes of their audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\/B testing on Facebook is another brilliant and dynamic way to gain nuanced insights into how your audience interacts with content. Through a slight alteration of the tone of a share message, say, you can improve the performance of your posts substantially, and compounding these with other A\/B tested optimizations, produce astonishing results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/social-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Echobox Social<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the only social media publishing tool with an organic Facebook <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/ab-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A\/B testing<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> function natively included.

So we decided to put together a how-to guide giving publishers a step-by-step account of how to A\/B test on Facebook and get the very best results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packed with hints and tips, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/white-papers\/the-publishers-ultimate-guide-to-a-b-testing-on-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Publisher\u2019s Ultimate Guide to A\/B Testing on Facebook<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a one-stop shop for developing an A\/B testing strategy that works. In this article, we\u2019ll cover the highlights, but be sure to download the guide for complete details on how to A\/B test on Facebook effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does Facebook A\/B testing work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\/B testing on Facebook offers you the chance to present content to your audience in the most appealing way. How do you know? Because, in effect, they\u2019ll tell you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To run A\/B tests on Facebook, Echobox takes two slightly different versions of the same organic Facebook post and presents them to two distinct segments of your Facebook audience \u2014 version A to segment A, version B to segment B. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By comparing the performance of each version against the other, Echobox determines which version performs best with your specific audience. In less than 15 minutes, Echobox identifies the post version that generated the highest click-through rate, then automatically shares this winning variation with your entire Facebook audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why use A\/B testing on Facebook?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because it works! The performance boost to be gained by optimizing your Facebook posts in this way can be massive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just how massive?

Is there some particular strategy I should follow? The answer is that by laying out a methodical framework, you can gain amazing insights into audience behavior that will pay dividends for your Facebook performance. And that framework is really important. Too few tests, or too many variations, and you run the risk of producing results that aren\u2019t statistically significant, or that are even downright misleading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend, for instance, that to produce results that you can be confident in, you should limit yourself to testing just one single element between variations, and that this variation should be tested no fewer than 30 different times. For example, if your hypothesis is that shorter share messages will generate more clicks on Facebook, we recommend you run 30 different tests, with one version of a post containing a long share message and one version with a shorter one. When it comes to A\/B testing on Facebook, rigor and repetition are your friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this can seem rather complicated, with any number of dos and don\u2019ts. That\u2019s why our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/white-papers\/the-publishers-ultimate-guide-to-a-b-testing-on-facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ultimate Guide to A\/B Testing on Facebook<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contains a simple testing framework and template, developed by our team of data scientists, that you can download and use to achieve the best possible results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there you have it.
