If you want to highlight an announcement, a promotion, or a favorite update, pinning a post to the top of your Facebook profile is the perfect way to do it. It ensures that anyone visiting your page sees that post first. In my latest tutorial, I show exactly how to pin and unpin posts quickly on desktop or mobile.
Pinning is one of the most effective yet overlooked features for improving visibility. Whether you’re a creator promoting your latest video, a business sharing a key update, or simply marking a personal milestone, the process is the same.
Here’s how to do it:
On Desktop:
-
Go to your profile and find the post you want to feature.
-
Click the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner.
-
Select “Pin Post.”
-
Refresh the page — the post will now appear at the very top of your profile.
On Mobile:
-
Open the Facebook app.
-
Find your post and tap the three dots beside it.
-
Choose “Pin to Top of Profile.”
To remove it later, simply tap the same menu and select “Unpin Post.”
Why Pinning Helps:
-
It keeps your most important content visible for new visitors.
-
It drives traffic to specific links, events, or offers.
-
It reinforces your brand by showcasing your best work or message.
Pro Tip: Update your pinned post every few weeks. Keeping it fresh signals activity to both followers and Facebook’s algorithm.
I use pinned posts regularly to highlight new tutorials or announcements. It’s one of the simplest ways to guide people toward what matters most on your page.
A pinned post is like your digital first impression — use it strategically and it can dramatically boost engagement.
