Or else you can assign a task to a team member, who is willing to lead and attend the users’ queries and will respond to them on the weekends.
To schedule a post, select the “Schedule” option from the drop down menu next to publish button and choose the desired date and time to schedule the post.

Engagements on posts often happen in the first few hours after sharing the post. Many Facebook page admins and moderators are missing this golden chance by not taking any action on engagements.
Best practice is to keep watching the post once it goes live on Facebook and responding or acknowledging to users’ comment in real time or a quick manner. This will encourage user for further engagement.
#14. Share An Inside Look Of Business
Sharing an inside look is the best way to keep the audience engaged by pulling up the curtains behind the business.
Build a unique Facebook campaign to highlight success, inside stories, tremendous opportunities, growth plans and more to win the trust of the audience. They will tend to love seeing such post on your Facebook business page.
#15. Most Important - Maintain The Frequency Of Posting
The frequency of posting is without a doubt one of the most important factors on various social media platforms, and especially on Facebook.
For any reason, if you fail to share post frequently on your Facebook business page then there might be a chance of losing an attention of audience and drop in engagement. Maintain a frequency of posting on Facebook will help you to maintain and enhance the engagement on your Facebook business page.
