What are post topics on Facebook groups?

Facebook Groups provide businesses, including healthcare providers, with a vehicle for creating communities within their social media environment where followers, customers or patients can connect with others who have shared interests or experiences. (More on getting started with Facebook Groups here.)

If you build a successful group, with lots of activity, some organization may be in order to keep the group useful for all users. One way of doing so is to use “Topics” to organize posts within the group.

To create Topics, click on Manage Group in the left-column menu, then choose Topics for Posts. You will have the ability to create and save multiple Topics. For example, a family care clinic that hosts a Facebook Group for patients managing high blood pressure might create topics that include “Low-Salt/Salt-Free Cooking & Recipes” or “Exercise Inspiration.” A credit union group might have topics such as “Talking About Money With Kids” or “Improving Credit Scores.”

Once you have created the topics, as group administrator, you can retroactively apply up to 5 topic designations to already-published posts within the group (even if they were posted by other group members). The topics will also appear as an option for all new posts added to the group, allowing members to designate what topic their post matches.

By using topics, you make your Facebook Groups even more user friendly and helpful, building a stronger relationship and community for your followers. Learn more about creating and using groups in our quick guide: Using Facebook Groups To Improve Patient Relationships.

What are post topics on Facebook groups?

After successfully testing the feature, Facebook is globally introducing tags to Facebook groups, where users can add a topic category to posts. The goal is to improve the direction and searching of content in groups.

The popularity of Facebook groups is still great; you can find groups that have tens to hundreds of thousands of members. There is a huge amount of posts in such communities, and browsing content can be confusing and chaotic. This can have a negative impact on the engagement of members and their interactions.

For this reason, Facebook has introduced labels/tags that can help you sort individual posts into custom topic categories.

How do post topics work:

  • Only administrators and group moderators can create, edit, or delete topics.
  • When a group administrator creates a topic, anyone in the group can use it to tag their post (but users can post even without assigning a topic).
  • Each post can be assigned a maximum of one topic.

How to create a topic for a group you manage:

  • Start writing a posting in a group.
  • Among the options below the post, you will see the box Add post topic.
  • Then, you will be able to choose from previously saved topics or create new ones.

How to add a topic for a post:

  • Adding a topic to post is very simple. If the group in which you want to post has categories already created, you will see this option when you post. Just choose the appropriate category.

This is a small but very useful update that helps you better organize your content in groups. The topic search will make it easier for users to develop discussions, and group managers will have a better idea of which topics are most popular.

Facebook will make the tool available to all Facebook groups globally, and it will be available both in the mobile application and in the desktop version.

Another very useful feature for group managers, which Facebook recently launched, is keyword alerts.
