Buy Facebook Shares

The Share button under a post opens a menu of destinations, and they differ in who ends up seeing the post. Sharing to Feed puts it on the sharer's profile for their friends or followers, with room for a line of their own above it. A Story keeps it up for 24 hours. A group puts it in front of that group's members, and Messenger sends it privately to one person or a chat.

The figure printed under the post, beside the comment count, is how many times it has been shared. Tapping it usually lists only the shares you are allowed to see, leaving out those made privately or to audiences you are not part of. The figure itself is what this service raises.

A share is the most personal of Facebook's public signals: someone put a post in front of their own people with their name beside it. That is why a share count persuades, and why it is the one we are most careful to describe accurately. The shares we deliver come from real-looking profiles, and they are counted under your post like any others.

What they cannot do is carry the post to your customers' friends. The profiles doing the sharing are not part of your town, your trade or your customers' circles, so the post lands in feeds with no reason to care about it. If you need the people your customers know to see a post, only those customers passing it on, or an advert aimed at them, will do that.

Pacing is the other half of the job. The order completes within hours of starting, and the start is never earlier than half an hour after payment. A share count that climbs through an afternoon looks like a post being passed around; the same number appearing in a single minute looks like a purchase.

In 2018 Facebook said it would rank its Feed to favour posts that spark conversations and meaningful interactions between people, with comments and shares among friends given as examples, over passive viewing. Meta has adjusted its ranking many times since, so read that as a statement of intent rather than a formula anyone can work.

What matters for a buyer is the part that statement takes for granted. A share that starts a conversation is one between people who know each other; a share from a profile nobody is listening to starts nothing, and it would be dishonest to sell it as a way into anyone's Feed. We sell the count, for what the count tells people reading the post.

Meta's rules are explicit too. Its spam policy names buying and selling engagement, shares among it, as something it does not allow, and it can remove shares and the profiles behind them whenever it chooses. Shares lost within 30 days are delivered again; whether Meta acts at all is its decision alone.

Events are the clearest case. A post announcing a gig, a craft market or an open day with a few hundred shares tells a reader the date is being passed around, which is what makes them check it. An opening or a relaunch works the same way: a share count suggests the news is getting about.

Practical posts are the other. A checklist, a local guide or a how-to that people keep and forward reads, with a share count under it, as something others found useful enough to send on, and a reader is more likely to save it or read it properly. On posts like these, a share is taken as someone vouching for the post, not as applause.

A share count persuades least where it is least plausible. A notice about changed opening hours with 1,000 shares invites disbelief rather than interest, because nobody forwards that. Choose posts people would want to send to someone, and the number looks as though it belongs there.

A reason to forward it

A date, a place, a tip or a piece of news that someone could plausibly send to a friend.

Reactions already there

Shares sit on top of a response; on a post with three reactions they look borrowed.

Staying public

The share figure is only on view while the post is public, so avoid posts you plan to archive soon.

Fundraisers and charity appeals come first, and there the answer is simply no. A share count on an appeal is read as people vouching for the cause, and donors give partly because others appear to have done so. Inflating it would mislead the people being asked for money, so we will not deliver shares to a fundraiser or a charity post, however good the cause.

A post in a private group, the kind Facebook used to call closed, is out of reach rather than refused. Only members can see it, so outside profiles cannot reach it, let alone share it. The same applies to profile posts whose audience is Friends or a custom list: a share order needs a public post.

A post you are boosting and measuring is better left until the test ends. Shares are among the results Ads Manager reports for a boosted post, and bought shares on the same post blur whether the boost made anyone pass it on. Read the results first, and order afterwards if the post still needs them.

Share-to-enter competitions are the last. Facebook's Page terms have long said promotions must not be run through personal timelines, naming “share on your Timeline to enter” as an example of what is not allowed, and bought shares on such a post would be fake entries on top. We do not deliver to them.

Six sizes, starting at 200. Shares normally trail a post's reactions by a wide margin, so size against the reactions it already has; the suggestions below are our judgement, not a Facebook rule.

An event or opening post

200 or 250, on a post that already carries a healthy reactions total, so the shares read as a fraction of a keen audience rather than a crowd of their own.

A guide or checklist

500, once the post has been up for a few days and gathered some reactions of its own, so the shares follow a visible response rather than arriving ahead of it.

Several posts from one campaign

1,000 split across the campaign's posts, each taking an equal part above the per-post minimum, so no single post carries the whole campaign.

A post with thousands of reactions

2,500 or 5,000, and only there; on anything smaller the share count would outrun the rest of the row and draw the wrong kind of attention.

Shares imply people liked a post enough to pass it on, so the numbers beside them need to back that up.

• Post LikesA share figure larger than the reactions total looks back to front, since sharing takes more effort than a tap on Like.from $1.99
• CommentsA post worth passing on usually collects a few words underneath. A handful of comments keeps the row from looking lopsided.from $2.49
• Video ViewsWhen the shared post is a Reel, its view count sits alongside the shares, and a well-shared clip nobody seems to have watched looks strange.from $1.99
