On the Facebook platform, there are two main ways of controlling who can see your page’s post. It is either you;

- Click on the pages icon from your news feed in the left menu
- Next, go to your page and click on Settings at the top of your page
- Click audience optimization for posts from the general section
- Check the box next to allow news feed targeting and the ability to restrict the audience for your posts

How to Limit Your Posts Audience
On Facebook, when you limit the audience of your post, then you can control the visibility of your post based solely on the age and location of your audience. And when you do this, only people that you choose can see the posts anywhere on the Facebook social media platform and this is including your page. To limit the audience of your post, follow the steps below;
- Click on the target icon before publishing any of your posts
- At the top, click on the restricted audience option and then select age and the locations of the audience that you want to see your post
- Lastly, click on the Save button
You should also know that when a person chose to share the post, only the people in the selected audience that you choose for the very post will be able to see it
How to Use News Feed Targeting
You can also target a specific audience for the posts of your page so that certain people will see it in their news feed based solely on the criteria that you selected. And unlike limiting the audience of your posts, making use of news feed targeting does not affect who can see the post on your page or any other place on Facebook for the matter.
To make use of news feed targeting;
- Before publishing a post, click the target icon
- Enter the criteria of the people that you would like to reach in the news feed in the news feed targeting section
- Lastly, click on the Save button
That’s it!
