Meta advises Facebook Page managers to place links in the first comment instead of in the post body. This recommendation was noted by users in their Professional Dashboard insights. While some still include links in posts, deleting the URL text can help maintain engagement. Meta's data shows that 97.3% of views go to posts without external links, indicating a decline in link post exposure. Trying this strategy may be beneficial but requires extra effort.
