Resource Centers for Creative Ideas
To begin, within the professional dashboard for business pages operating under the new Pages Experience or profiles utilizing Professional Mode, Facebook has introduced an Inspiration Hub. This hub serves to assist marketers in conveniently discovering fresh content concepts. It accomplishes this by presenting trending reels, music selections, hashtags, subjects, and creators all in one centralized location.
Furthermore, upon accessing the Reels composer within the mobile Facebook app, you will now encounter a section dedicated to Templates hub. This hub showcases popular and effective templates for reels that are currently trending.
Reels Editing Tools
The once relatively straightforward editing tool for Facebook Reels has undergone enhancements, enabling marketers and creators to efficiently refine video, audio, music, and text elements within a reel using a unified interface.
An enhancement has been made to the Clips to Reels feature for live broadcasts. This upgrade automatically identifies top-quality segments from live videos and transforms them into shareable reel formats.
Additionally, marketers possess the ability to extract segments from extended or live videos on Facebook. This allows for the creation of reels that maintain a connection with the original content.
#2: Facebook Insights & Analytics
The personal profile’s professional dashboard will now present information that was formerly exclusive to pages through Meta Business Suite.
You will gain access to insights regarding interaction and consumption across various content formats, as well as insights into the behaviors of both followers and non-followers. These particulars will unveil the preferences of your established and recent audiences, guiding you in determining whether to prioritize Reels, feed posts, Lives, or alternative formats.
Furthermore, you’ll be presented with data about distribution health, retention trends, and the specific Reels that have successfully drawn in new followers.
#3: Facebook’s Q1 2023 Widely Viewed Content Report
Meta’s report highlighted that in Q1 2023, a substantial 92% of the content observed on Facebook lacked external source links, a revelation not unfamiliar to marketers.
However, the astonishment arises from the fact that a significant 70% of feed views originated from content shared by friends within groups those friends are part of, or from pages they actively follow.
#4: Facebook Ads
Regardless of your current engagement in advertising, staying abreast of Facebook’s ad product updates holds significance as they often foreshadow forthcoming developments for organic content.

Augmented Reality and Ads with Multiple Destinations
Moving forward, the global rollout of augmented reality (AR) ads to Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and Facebook Stories marks a significant stride. Furthermore, the freshly introduced Watch and Browse feature empowers viewers to momentarily pause a video ad, providing a preview of the link’s destination.
Moreover, a novel Reels ad category aims to enhance consumer understanding before engaging with an ad. Analogous to Facebook’s carousel ads, multi-destination product ads for Reels offer a comparable solution, enabling viewers to swipe through diverse product images each linked to a distinct landing page within a single ad.
Streamlining Offers and Specials Management
The latest ad update focuses on simplifying the process for customers in the United States, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom to access and oversee pertinent deals, including seasonal discounts, initial purchase incentives, holiday promotions, and the like.
When clicking on an ad to avail an exclusive promotion, the discount will apply automatically. If the consumer doesn’t complete the transaction, reminders will be sent before the offer expires.
Ads Targeted at European Audience
Commencing from June 23rd, advertisers targeting audiences within EU countries or territories will be required to clearly specify both the beneficiary and payer for each ad. This transparency initiative ensures clear identification of the party benefiting from the ad as well as the entity funding the advertisement.
This policy is already in effect, so if you haven’t accessed your ad account recently, ensure compliance by taking appropriate action.
#5: Facebook Lead Generation Tools
Some fantastic enhancements have been unveiled for Facebook’s lead generation tools.
To start, advertisers utilizing lead generation ads will find it exciting to know that form questions will now dynamically adjust based on individuals’ responses. For instance, if the second question presents two alternatives, those who opt for the first choice will encounter distinct follow-up inquiries compared to those selecting the second choice.
Furthermore, advertisers will soon have the capability to overlay Facebook instant forms on their business web pages through the Facebook app browser.
Lastly, businesses embracing the new Pages Experience can now effortlessly engage potential customers and acquire valuable leads without cost. This is achievable by incorporating a contact form within the Contact Us call-to-action button.
