Reach for [Facebook Pages](https://blog.thoughtlabs.com/blog/facebook-pages/) continues to decline, hitting 2.6% on average, and a very low 2.6% for Facebook Pages with more than 1 million fans, [according to Locowise](https://locowise.com/blog/facebook-analysis-march-videos-and-photos-rule-engagement-totally).
In their March analysis, Locowise gathered reach, engagement and like growth from a sample of 5,000 pages. As usual, smaller pages tend to have higher percentages of reach and engagement, as their Fans are more homogeneous.
The data also showed that posts with links gets the highest reach at 4.48%, videos the lowest at 1.85%. However, videos and photos have the highest engagement rate with 13.92% and 13.71% of people reached. The numbers differ a little between smaller and larger pages, as shown in the diagram below:
So, what are the takeaways from this?
1. **Create the best content you can t**hat matches your audience and goals
2. **Use Facebook Ads to promote your content** to the right audiences to get more reach.
