How & Why to Share Your Website on Facebook Groups

One of the most effective ways to boost visibility on Facebook Groups is by sharing your website with a captivating message and an eye-catching Featured Image (aka “hook+link”).

1. Why Posting Your Website Link Works

Sharing your website link in Facebook groups can bring more visitors to your site. When people click your link, they leave Facebook and focus on your website, where you control the message. This helps build credibility and can improve your search engine rankings over time.

2. Create a Catchy Message (Hook)

Your message (the “hook”) is the text above your link that grabs attention. Here’s how to make it work:

• Ask Questions: Get people curious.
• Bold Statements: Make claims that stand out.
• Call to Action (CTA): Guide your audience on what to do next.
• Use Emojis: Add flair, but don’t overdo it.

3. Design Simple, Effective Images (with Canva)

Canva is a free, easy-to-use tool to create images for your posts. Keep your image size at 1200 x 600 pixels for the best fit on Facebook. Simple designs work best—avoid clutter, and focus on making your image bold and engaging. Don’t use PNG, make sure it’s a Jpeg.

4. Use Yoast to Improve Your Link Preview

Yoast SEO is a plugin for WordPress that helps you write better titles and descriptions, which appear when you share your link. They can be seen just below the image and can add more context to your advert. You just fill in the blanks—no coding needed.

5. Make Posting Easy and Consistent

Save your hook, hashtags, and link in a document for quick posting. When you paste your link, wait for Facebook to show the image before hitting “post.” If you update your website and Facebook doesn’t show the changes, then use their “Debugging Tool”.
