  • Publication number: 20170213296
    Abstract: A social networking system generates and displays page promotion units to viewing users of the social networking system.

The page promotion unit may be dynamically generated based on content of the page that the viewing user administers. The page promotion unit is added to a feed of stories for the user, and may compete against other recommended actions for the user or advertisements in an auction for placement in the feed. The page promotion unit also provides an interface for the viewing user to promote the page and direct the viewing user to an interface for initiating an advertising campaign for the page, which may be prepopulated with content from the page promotion unit.
