This is how advertising and pages can work together to engage users and meet your objectives.
The engagement ad on the home page can encourage people to become a fan of your brand. Once they do, a connection is made.
You can then publish messages to your fans through the Page that will be delivered in their home page feed.
You can also publish messages with direct conversion messages and drive people to your website.
When a user comments on one of your posts, their friends might see it on their home page as well.
