If you follow any decent sized Facebook accounts, you’ll have seen Top Fans in the comments – recognisable by the jewelled icon beside their names.

As Facebook looks to reward engagement and loyalty, the Top Fan badge helps to showcase those who are the most active within that community. Those who frequently watch videos, like posts, and comment are likely to receive a Top Fan badge – if the page is set up for it.

How to set up Top Fan badges

There are a few stipulations for adding Top Fan badges to your page. Unlike on Facebook Groups, where badges are rewarded to groups with over 50 members, the figures for Facebook pages are a little bit higher.

For a Facebook Page, your page needs to have over 10,000 followers and be over 28 days old. To turn on the functionality, head to settings, and click ‘Facebook Badges’, toggling Top Fan to on.

Once on, your Top Fans should receive notifications about their new status.
