Why can my Facebook Page only post two links a month unless I pay?

Facebook Pages now need a paid subscription to share more than two links a month, so small businesses, creators and community groups that used Facebook to send people to their own site lose their cheapest traffic source.

Who has it: Small business owners, indie game studios, local groups and creators who post links to their own site, shop or newsletter on Facebook.

Heard in public

“They just want kill small web and keep people on their platforms.”

What nothing does yet

A channel shift planner for small businesses: measure which posts actually drove site visits, decide which two links a month matter most, and turn Facebook followers into an owned email or WhatsApp list before reach drops further.

Tools that solve this

3 named so far, and where each one stops.

  • Meta Verified and paid Page plans

    Restore link posting, at a monthly cost per Page.

  • Link in comments and link in bio tools (Linktree)

    Work around the limit, with lower reach.

  • Email and SMS lists

    Owned audience, but have to be built from scratch.

How you might build it

  1. 01Meta Graph API
  2. 02UTM and site analytics join
  3. 03Post scheduling
  4. 04Lead capture forms
  5. 05Email and WhatsApp list sync
