How to do a Facebook Share from a WOW page

Doing a Facebook Share is one of those things that is easy - when you know how.

On Facebook the type of Share we use is the Check-In.

This is most typically used by customers at a restaurant - they will take a selfie of themselves - or a photo of their meal - and 'Check-In' with the restaurant Facebook page in the process.

This tells their friends where they are and friends always Like and Comment on a Share like this.

So we are borrowing this from the hospitality sector and making it work for your business to get visibility in front of fresh eyeballs in the form of an endorsement from your happy customer.

Step 1:

Your customer takes a photo or two of the completed project with their phone

They're really happy with the work and like to support local independent business, so you can expect at least some customers to take these few steps.

After you have finished and left - the WOW Card serves as a gentle reminder/nudge - especially if they said they would share a photo on their Facebook or Instagram

Tap the white 'Open Facebook' button

There is also a button 'Need help checking in?' to assist people who are not sure what to do

Step 2:

Your customer scans the QR code on your WOW Card and arrives on the WOW Page

They will easily find the Facebook Share module in Facebook blue

Step 3:

At the top of your Facebook page tap:

'What's on your mind?'

(just as if you were making a normal post)

Step 4:

On the next screen you will see a list

Tap: Check in

Step 5:

On the next screen at the top of the page will be a Search box

Enter the name of the business - it will appear below

Tap: Harrogate Brickworx

Step 6:

Almost done! :)

Business name is showing at the top - Check In is good.

Customer enters a short comment about their satisfaction with the finished job and the general service.

Then in the bottom left corner tap the green icon to select the photo(s) from the phone image Gallery

Step 7:

Last step

Everything looks good

1) Harrogate Brickworx at the top - Check in is good.

2) Comment made.

3)Photo uploaded

Tap NEXT and then on next page tap SHARE

This is great as it provides engaging content for your Facebook in the form of authentic customer endorsements.

These endorsements make keeping your Facebook page active easier - and visitors to your Facebook will be impressed by the positive comments from previous customers.

Below is how to do this.

The contractor can re-share a customer Check in

but only if the customer’s check-in post is public or visible to the business/Page.

If the customer’s privacy settings restrict it, the contractor may get a notification but not be able to share it properly.

The usual flow is:
When you get a Facebook check-in notification,

open the customer’s post,

press Share and choose Share to a Page,

select your business Page,

add a quick thank-you message, then post it.

If you don’t see “Share to a Page”, the customer’s privacy settings may not allow it

— in that case, comment on the post and ask them to make it public or tag your business Page.

Added bonus:

You can usually re-share your Customers Check in to your Facebook business page.
