Why does Facebook work for this trade?

How does Facebook decide who sees a post?
The main feed is now mostly recommended Reels and video, the same as everywhere else — but in Pakistan the intent still lives in Groups and Marketplace, and those run on their own rules. Comments and shares count for far more than reactions, and a post that starts a real argument in the comments travels furthest. Paid reach is genuinely cheap here, and the blue Boost button wastes money: a proper campaign built in Ads Manager costs a fraction per enquiry.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

- 05Build and watch Meta ad campaigns daily in Ads Manager instead of using Boost, and show you the cost per enquiry every week
- 06Answer page messages and comments, and move Marketplace enquiries into a WhatsApp conversation
- 07Create and refresh Marketplace listings with daylight photos and honest prices so they keep surfacing
- 08Report monthly on reach, cost per enquiry and exactly which post brought the phone calls
Should app development agencies be anywhere else?
Facebook first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | 4 posts per week | Corporate app budgets are signed by IT managers and directors who check your page before they reply to an email. | |
| YouTube | #2 | 2 videos per month plus 4 Shorts | 'App banwani hai' is a research journey, and a costing video answers the question everyone is too embarrassed to ask, which brings serious buyers only. |
| #3 | 4 Reels per week | Screen-recording Reels of a UI coming together are quietly addictive and reach founders and designers who then send the enquiry. |

Facebook questions from app development agencies
Is Facebook actually worth it for app development agencies?
Rawalpindi business owners still search and message on Facebook, and business groups are full of people asking who can build an app. We would rank it number 4 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 3 posts per week plus group answers.
How often should a app development agencie business post on Facebook?
3 posts per week plus group answers. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should app development agencies be on Facebook before anything else?
No. LinkedIn comes first for app development agencies — Facebook is number 4 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a app development agencie account gets wrong on Facebook?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Clients arrive with a Foodpanda screenshot and PKR 200,000 and genuinely cannot see why the quote is seven times that. That is what your Facebook posts should be answering, in 3 posts per week plus group answers
What does it cost to have someone run my Facebook account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For app development agencies we usually recommend Business bundle at from PKR 25,000. Most of your money comes from people typing 'app developer in Islamabad' into Google. The Business bundle covers the site, the Google Business Profile and local SEO first, with one or two platforms posted alongside.
