You can post interesting content regularly on your page. If it is good it can attract a significant amount of viewers.

Building a good committee can be a great option to increase engagement without investing on ads.
 
Increasing engagement on Facebook without advertising is not a one-way process. The secret lies in 3 factors:
Valuable & relevant content → makes viewers want to like, comment and share naturally.
Real interaction from admin → turns fanpage/group into a community, not a one-way message board.
Persistence & consistency → maintain a regular posting rhythm, learn from data and repeat what works.
If you treat the page/group as a “common home” for the community, likes, comments and shares will come as a natural consequence, instead of being forced.
 
Posting regularly, using interactive formats (polls, questions, short videos), and engaging quickly with comments can help boost organic likes, shares, and discussions without ads.
 
Organic engagement is tricky lately. What I’ve seen working is consistent posting with valuable content, mixing formats like reels, carousels, and long-form text.
 
Post consistently valuable content, use engaging formats like polls/reels, and spark conversations by asking questions your audience cares about.
 
Ragebait is the main way honestly, the algorithm won't stop rewarding negative interactions that's why IG and FB feeds are full of cringe stuff that people can't resist commenting on.

You make a valid argument publishing frequently appears to be essential. To maintain high engagement, do you often plan your material ahead of time or base posts on current trends?
 
Do you think the group still has better organic growth than the page? I recently tested and the group is still doing well, especially when members interact.
 
i'm not sure but without ads, your content must be really engaging, trendy and post regularly with multiple types such as video, reel, question...

as always, the best way is to bring value contents. Besides, you can introduce them on many other platform, Tiktok is first come to my mind. If you attract them, you will get what you want
 
That depends on your content and the market saturation in your industry. If it’s too homogeneous and lacks innovation, it won’t work. I think ,the current trend shows that cross-industry content tends to be more engaging.
 
It is unpredictable for everyone now. You could try contents like provoking controversy, using annoying hooks, or clickbait
 
Sometimes in business or any areas of life, there is something called compounding effect, you see all the results you are seeing on their page now is not as a result of them suddenly going viral and i believe it is not their first post.

What i mean by compounding effect is the results you are currently admiring on their page now must have being from the results of sleepless nights, un-bargained consistency, hard work, quality of work overtime.

Now when they were doing all these, they must must have sometimes got tired or even wanted to give-up at some point but they didn't, they kept going.

So, if you want same results, PUT IN THE WORK!
 
Post short, trending content, alternating between short videos, images and open questions to stimulate comments. In addition, 2-way interaction (replying to comments, inboxing, tagging users) helps the algorithm prioritize more display
 
Without ads, the best way to increase your engagement is by posting quality content. With quality content, you will surely get engagement.
 
Focus on creating content that feels natural and engaging. For example, share useful insights, ask questions, or run polls to spark interaction. Keeping a consistent posting schedule and replying quickly to comments also helps build organic engagement without ads.
 
FB's algorithm is constantly changing, making organic reach more difficult, but there are still ways to increase engagement on pages or groups without running ads.
 
Quality content and a strong community are key to sustainable growth. However, without advertising, growth will be slow. Consider incorporating more
