    I've never done a Facebook advertisment before.

    Can one narrow Facebook advert impressions by ...
    County ?
    Town ?
    Region ?

    Yes you can narrow it down by geographical area, I found it effective and good value.

    That's the information I needed!

    Many thanks to both of you.

    I shared a Facebook post from a local small business with a family member in the UK this week, and the link wouldn't work for them at all. They couldn't see the post or the page. So it looks like there was some kind of geoblocking in place - hadn't see that before.

    Not all facebook posts are seen by your friends

    It's not about whether the post was seen. I sent the URLs for the page and for the post to a family member in the UK, and neither URL worked over there. He searched for the business by name, and couldn't find it either.

    Facebook business pages, by default, are only visible in the country they are set to. You can change this in settings for the business page.
