In my opinion, that wouldn't affect your post at all.

it can still happen in the future, however, when you run ads, you should focus more on your ads, it's better. page with fake and likes and followers won't effect too much.

If you consistently ensure your content is valuable and the new followers coming to your fan page are also real, fake bots wont be a problem. I had a similar experience in the "electric tools" niche, and a competitor was doing the same. It didn't help much, because running a real business, there's no way it could be banned(always you can wrote appeal).

fake follower usually don’t hurt much by themselves. focus on real engagement, secure your page, and keep monitoring unusual activity to avoid any future ad performance issue .

It shouldn't have too much of an impact if your posts maintain good engagement; your competitor might be playing dirty.

First, it ruins your organic reach and engagement rate because Meta's algorithm tests new content on a small sample of followers - if those bots don't engage, your post won't be pushed to real users. Second, if you run Facebook Ads targeting page followers or Lookalike Audiences, your ad budget will be wasted on non-converting bot profiles.

yeah I’ve seen this happen with business pages before usually its just random bot activity and not something that directly means the page is in trouble.

Fake likes and followers do not help your Facebook page grow. They reduce engagement because fake accounts rarely interact with your content. Facebook's algorithm favors real engagement, so fake followers can lower your reach. Focus on attracting genuine followers through valuable content, consistent posting, and meaningful interactions for long-term success.
