    Are you sure you're looking at the right figures? I can't imagine a scenario where reach is less than engagement.

    See pic. It's a screenshot from Facebook business stats page

    People are liking and sharing posts so it counts as double engagement

    If I look at engagement under post its saying about 25% but they in no way correlate to those figures in the attached photo. I mean one page has a reach of around 26,000 but engagement is double that. I am not getting that amount of likes under a post. I am just wondering is it people engaging with the link when people share it but I am only guessing. I can't find an answer to it anywhere

    Hmm, ok actually your scenario is one of the few that I could see it happening. Generally your content is only relevant to a very specific, localised audience, but for that audience it's highly engaging. It also could be the case that that snapshot page (which I don't use as I prefer more in-depth analysis) only shows figures for how many people reached your page rather than how many your posts reached. If you want, I can look into it a little further for you, free of charge of course. Shoot me a DM if you're interested, you'd need to give me admin access to one of the pages (the one with the largest discrepancy) for a day or so.

    Facebook stats can be, unreliable, from time to time. Constantly run into this issue myself.

    Are these post's paid or purely organic?
