Facebook in Amsterdam: expat groups, families and local services

Amsterdam has a large international population, and Facebook groups for expats are where many newcomers ask about housing, doctors, schools, childcare, tax advisers and services that speak English.

Families in Amstelveen, Haarlem, Diemen and other nearby towns use Facebook to follow schools, sports clubs and local businesses.

Older Dutch residents also use Facebook more than younger people, who tend to prefer Instagram.

Businesses that serve internationals, such as English-speaking clinics, international schools, relocation agents and tax advisers, can reach them with clear, practical posts in English.

We plan posts for the audiences you serve, in English, Dutch or both, with a native-speaker check on your side for Dutch. Expat and local groups have their own rules, so we prepare posts your team can share where allowed. Facebook Events suit workshops, open days, classes and community events. Messenger replies and comments are handled within agreed hours, and difficult messages go to you. Each month we report reach, messages and which posts started conversations, so you can see which audiences respond. Sports clubs, music schools and childcare centres post schedules, registrations and holiday closures on Facebook, and parents share them in local groups. Restaurants and cafés can post weekly specials and terrace openings when the weather turns, which happens fast in the Dutch spring. Trades and home-service firms can show finished jobs in canal houses and apartments, with the customer’s permission, and list the neighbourhoods they cover, so group members can tag them in recommendations. Dutch holidays such as King’s Day, Liberation Day on 5 May and Sinterklaas in early December change opening hours and demand, and we post updates ahead of each one.
