Think Facebook is pay-to-play in 2025? Think again. While ads still dominate, there’s plenty of room for organic growth—if you know how to work with the platform (not against it).

Here are nine proven strategies to grow your Facebook presence without spending a dime, plus how to use Baked to automate and amplify your efforts.
