Facebook’s algorithm has changed quite a bit and people who would normally see your posts will most likely not see them as often now.
In order to narrow your geographical area for increased exposure you can actually add the location of the area you’d like your posts to be seen in. That will give you more of an opportunity for the post to be seen in that city, state, what have you.
For example: you post about an event or information, always add a location and your post will be more targeted. In other words, instead of sending the post out to the United States for posting, you are really narrowing the area and only including the city or town so that you get maximum opportunity for engagement with those who are more likely to engage.
