Recommendations:

Sherine Abdel Wahab’s Facebook page would have received double or maybe triple new likes and interactions if the improved posts’ quality; please find below the points taken:

• Long updates with no extra value-added will lead to losing your fans’ interest
• The text-only format isn’t preferred, as it is well-known that they generate less reach than other content (Facebook announcement)
• A call to action is essential to generate leads & increase engagement
• Each post has to have its visual, audio, or video so you can attract/engage your audiences
• Understand the situation and act upon it, always be relevant to the time and avoid posting irrelevant content at the wrong time.
• Revise the tone of voice in future activities.

To recap -  Overall performance is average to good -  Enhance your content formatting -  Improve the tone of voice on all networks -  Be creative to engage your fans better -  Be Consistent -  Start your SoundCloud account.
