Crossposting on multiple Facebook pages and reach

I manage about 20 Facebook pages. When I post an article, I publish them all at once via a scheduler with a link in the comments.

Someone who also manages many pages told me today that your reach could be much greater by posting the same article at different times, on different pages. And that I'm basically throttling my reach with my current method.

I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this and can confirm if this is true? What's your own experience, do you have a higher reach by posting on different times?

And, of course, I wonder if it makes a significant difference or not. It would take a lot of extra time for me to do this, so I want to know if it's worth it.
 
Posting all at once often lowers reach due to algorithm flags. Spreading posts out lets each page perform better. If you can, stagger them it pays off....

I appreciate the feedback. I post about 12 articles a day so I wonder what's the way to go with this. What would be a good time between each page, at least like 30 minutes or so?

Definitely. Posting everything at once can hurt your reach because Facebook’s algorithm sees it as spammy. Spreading posts out gives each one room to breathe and perform better.From what I’ve seen, spacing your posts can easily boost your reach by 20-30%. It takes more effort, but it pays off. If you can’t do it manually, use scheduling tools to make it easier. Simple tweak, big impact.
 
Posting the same content on multiple pages at the same time can easily get throttled by Facebook. To achieve higher reach, you should spread out your posting times and slightly personalize the captions for each page, making the most of each page's prime time.
 
I wonder if it would be feasible and have any effect if I did this:

(random example)

- Largest page: 4.00 PM
- 5 pages: 4.20 PM
- 5 pages: 4.35 pm
- Rest of the pages: 4.45 PM
 
Yes — there is evidence that posting the same content simultaneously across many Pages can suppress reach, because Facebook flags duplicate/unoriginal content and fresher posts tend to get higher priority.

Staggering the posts gives each copy a fresh chance at exposure (different timing, distribution windows) and may avoid algorithmic "duplicate" penalties. However, the gain often is modest unless your audience is large and active — for many pages, the extra lift may not outweigh the extra effort.
 
Yes, posting the same article at different times across your pages usually helps. Facebook tends to limit reach if identical posts go out simultaneously. Spacing them out can reach different audiences, improve engagement, and reduce overlap. Definitely worth testing.
 
Don’t post too many posts at once, as Facebook can easily see them as spam and reduce your reach. Space out your posts or use a scheduling tool to optimize. This can help increase your reach, while re-sharing your posts at different times can also help reach a wider audience and increase engagement.
 
I’ve noticed that posting at different times can sometimes help improve reach, since Facebook doesn’t always push out identical posts that go live at the exact same time.
