Still not convinced? Have a look at the statistics.
The graph on the left shows the correlation between Facebook Check-ins and organic reach on Facebook.
As you can see both trend lines are very close to each other.
What does that mean? It tells us that check-ins are responsible for a boost in organic reach.
Why is this important? Simple, higher organic reach means more people see your brand (location), and because it’s through a check-in of a friend it is also trustworthy, like a word of mouth recommendation.
Results:
