How Facebook decides which news to show to your page fans is still a mystery. Folks at Buffer have unearthed some interesting trends.
Following are some of the reasons why Facebook decides to show your content in the news feed.

• Posts with lots of comments / likes (i.e. engagement), especially the ones that receive a high volume of likes, comments, or shares in a short time
• Post types that users seem to prefer more than others (e.g., photo, video, or status update)
• Posts that reference a trending topic
• Link posts
• Videos uploaded to Facebook that receive a large number of views or extended viewing duration
• Posts that tag other pages within the text
• Posts that are liked or commented on by one’s friends
• Posts from pages that one interacts with often
• Post types that one interacts with often (so if you like videos, you will see more videos).
• Posts from pages with complete profile information
• Posts from pages where the fan base overlaps with the fan base of other known high-quality pages
• Images and videos that have not previously appeared in the Open Graph
• Links that have not been posted before. [Via/Buffer]

Facebook ofcourse doesn’t like clickbaits and low-quality articles. Do take a look at this video about the quality of your Facebook page’s fans and how this might impact the engagement on your posts.
