Ever wondered who is viewing your Facebook page on a regular basis?
And with that, have you ever been curious about those who visit and look at your Facebook page despite not being friends with you on the app?
Perhaps the most important thing to note in light of this article topic, is that there is no official way of seeing who views or visits your Facebook page.
There are tons of websites and apps out there that promise to deliver a list of your ‘Facebook Stalkers’ and to let you know who has viewed your profile the most times in the last week or month. However, because none of these are verified by or partnered with Facebook, it is impossible for them to have accurate information or data.
So in short, no you can’t tell if a non-friend is looking at your Facebook page. However, what you can do is check the view and visibility that any non-friend visitors would have and ensure that you have full control over the information available.
What Will a Non-friend See on Your Page?
Did you know that as a Facebook user, you have access to a feature that lets you view your profile as a member of the Public / non-friend?
To find this, simply navigate to your profile page and click on the button with three dots. In the Profile Settings menu, find ‘View As’.
Clicking on this will change the view of your profile page to a public view – letting you see exactly what any non-friend visitor will see.
This is often the turning point for users whose profiles are previously public in their visibility, encouraging users to crackdown on their own profile privacy settings. Having said that, you might decide to keep your profile public and let non-friends see your profile pictures and other posts – it’s completely up to you.
What Data Can I See About Facebook Page Visitors?
While you can’t see who has viewed your Facebook page, you can monitor and track information including who has liked your posts and who comments the most.
You can also see who has viewed your Facebook story while it is still live. This can give you some indication as to who is visiting your page and looking out for your content.
In the simplest terms, Facebook’s privacy settings mean that the visiting data for users is protected – i.e., if a user visits another users Facebook page, that information is not shared with the page owner. However, there are things you can do to not only see who engages with your content but also to take control over the privacy and visibility of your content, specifically across non-friends.
We hope this helps and inspires you to take a look at your Facebook page from the perspective of a non-friend.
