In the past, the general consensus is that your business needs to be on Facebook. This mindset could be changing, especially for small business owners who jumped on Facebook early. Since Facebook changed their algorithm some time back, your post’s ability to reach fans has become more difficult – unless you’re willing to pay for it.
