The social media network’s new Instant Articles app, set for release on April 12, 2016, is designed to give publishers a better way to present their interactive content. Will it create an impact on your SEO efforts?
- Similar to Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages, Facebook’s Instant Articles app lets publishers share a link to the original article on their website. However, it can lead Web users to content better than fast-loading, mobile-friendly and fully responsive websites.
- Publishers can use Instant Articles to sell ad space to Facebook advertisers or through their private networks.
- Facebook plans to provide analytics insights into reader engagement through Instant Articles. This data can be shared with third-party Web analytics systems and tools.
- Your pre-existing content can be converted into Instant Articles through the use of your RSS feed and HTML markup.
- To use Instant Articles, publishers must update their site’s coding or create/update their RSS feeds to suit the app’s guidelines.
