Factors that affect a comment rank on Facebook Public Post

  1. Facebook first check who is commenting. For example, if a verified profile or page comment on a public post, Facebook gives them the highest weightage. Therefore, you can see those comments in the first place.
  2. In the same blog post, Facebook shared a featured image where you can spot the order of comment ranking. Although Facebook does not reveal exclusively, this is how I think Facebook ranks comment on Public posts.
  3. Comments from Verified Profile > Comments from Verified Pages > Comments with the highest engagement > Quality comment.

Facebook comment ranking is ON by default for pages with the Highest number of followers. However, you can turn it ON or OFF manually by following the steps we mention below.
