How to check top fan status of a facebook page năm 2024

A new feature launched on Facebook has been rolled out across Pages, identifying the 'biggest fans' of a page with an honorary badge.

The feature was teased by Facebook in March 2018 and can be spotted across various UK pages.

What is a Facebook Top Fan Badge?

At the time of the March announcement, Facebook said:

"We’re starting a new test that highlights a creator’s top fans by displaying a badge next to their names and adding their name to a leaderboard of highly engaged fans. "We’ll identify top fans based on how often they comment, share, react or watch a creator’s content, as well as the creator’s interactions with the fan and other criteria. Fans will opt into this experience, and they can turn off the feature at any time."

An example below taken from Sally Morgan's (Psychic Sally) Facebook page shows two different posters are identified as 'Top fans' by the badge above their profile photo and name.

As a page owner you can also see the changing "leaderboard" of your top fans when you view your page whilst logged in. You can also find it in Settings > Facebook Badges. If you wish to do so, you can also turn off the Top Fans feature in this area of your Facebook settings.

Is my page eligible for Facebook Top Fan Badges?

Top fans is mainly designed for video content producers, but any eligible Page can turn on top fans as long as they:

• Switch to the video template for Pages. (Keep in mind that show Pages can't switch to the video template.)
• Have more than 10,000 followers.
• Are at least 28 days old.
• Aren't using the civic engagement badge.

Top fans is only available to eligible Pages, not personal profiles.

How do I turn off Facebook Top Fan badges?

Remember you need to reach particular criteria, outlined above, to actually access Top Fan badges. Once you have the feature, you can also turn it off by:

• Go to your Page and click Settings at the top.
• In the left column, click Facebook Badges.
• Click to turn Top Fan Badges on or off.

After you turn on top fans for your Page, it may take up to a week for fans to accept their badges and for top fans to become visible in the Community tab of your Page.

If you want to boost Top Fan numbers, drive interest in your brand and entice your fans with offers or giveaways and regular updates.

If you follow a few pages on Facebook, you might have noticed a Top Fan badge next to people’s names when they comment or share posts. Getting a Top Fan badge next to your name is a great honor, and it shows just how dedicated you are to the page itself. Whether you’re a follower of a page or an admin of one, keep reading to learn how you can use the Top Fan badge and boost your engagement week by week.

Things You Should Know

• To become a Facebook Page's top fan, you'll need to like, react, and comment on more of that Page's content than most other fans.
• The Top Fan badge is assigned automatically—you can't request the badge and the Page admin cannot choose who gets it.
• As a Page admin, you can remove Top Fan badges from Top Fans as needed, or even turn off Top Fans completely.

1. If you’d like to become a Top Fan, you need to engage with the page’s content more than anyone else. An easy way to do this is to either like or react to all of their content, no matter what it is! If you can do that, you’re well on your way to becoming a Top Fan.
   • Another great way to boost your engagement is to leave a comment or two.
2. Try to watch them all the way through so the algorithm understands that you’re engaging with their content. If the page you follow posts a lot of videos, you can become a Top Fan by simply watching all of them and then leaving a like or a comment.
   • The Facebook algorithm monitors your engagement to see which posts you click on and how much of a video you watch. It’s also what determines if you’re a Top Fan or not.
   • Try to watch the videos all the way through—otherwise, the algorithm might think you’re trying to cheat the system by watching a little bit of the video before clicking off the page.
3. This is a great way to boost your engagement and get even closer to Top Fan status. Share the page’s posts to your own feed to show Facebook that you really are a Top Fan.
4. There’s no set amount of time for how long it might take to become a Top Fan, but once you are, you’ll get a notification about it. It will show up in your general notifications on the homepage of Facebook.
5. This means that your Top Fan status will be displayed next to your name on any comment you leave on the page. It will also be next to your name on any past interactions you’ve had with this page, like comments or posts.
   • Top Fan badges are individual, meaning they’re only displayed on one page at a time. You can be the Top Fan of multiple pages, or you can be the Top Fan of just one.
6. Top Fan badges are updated weekly, so it’s possible to lose your Top Fan status in just 7 days. If you want to keep your badge, keep liking, commenting, sharing, and interacting with the page to boost your engagement. If you do lose your Top Fan badge, don’t worry—you can always get it back!
   • If the admin of the page turns off the option for a Top Fan badge, you’ll also lose your Top Fan status.
   • To turn your Top Fan badge off manually, head to your profile and click the 3 dots below your name. Select “Manage Top Fan Badge,” then switch the toggle to “Off.”

• Log onto your Facebook account on a computer or a tablet. Once you’re on your group page, the Settings option will be at the top. Click on it to open a drop-down menu and explore your options.
• You can turn on a Top Fan badge on any group Facebook page with over 10,000 followers.
• It will show a list of the different badges you can turn on and off for your page, including Admin, Moderator, and Visual Storyteller. If you’d like to turn any of those on, you can do so through this menu.
• This will allow your page followers to earn the Top Fan badge if they interact with your content the most. The Top Fan badge is updated weekly, meaning a new follower has the chance to earn it each week. This is a great way to encourage engagement and boost your likes, comments, and shares.
• The Top Fan badge is turned off by default, so you won’t have it on your page until you manually turn it on.

If you decide you don’t like the Top Fan badge, you can head to your page settings again and simply turn the badge off. You might do this if you don’t want to encourage a competition between your followers or if there is one follower who always earns the Top Fan badge each week.
