    Are you simply trying to get more likes, or more clients? If the latter, post information that's relevant to your prospective clients. If the former, post more images, videos, like others' posts, ask for likes, and ultimate - post information that's relevant to your prospective fans.

    What's the big mystery? Do as Jay suggests: "Post more images, videos, like others' posts, ask for likes, and ultimate - post information that's relevant to your prospective fans."

    The more good stuff you post the more likes you'll get. Just be sure what you post is worthwhile ... not garbage.

    All that said, 80,000 additional likes by the end of the year may not be possible if you keep on doing what you're doing at any level. You may have to try some outrageous things in hopes that something will go viral and endear you to -- well, to 80,000 more people.

    This would be a challenging assignment for a creative agency. Do you have a budget that's commensurate with the goal? (Example: Can you offer $10,000 to each of the 5 best videos that showcase your offering, and let people vote for the winner(s). You can ask for likes when/after people vote?)

    The missing variable to this equation is how many Likes your FB page currently has. also, are you looking for page Likes, or just individual content Likes?

    To add to the discussion, you may wish to consider diversifying your social media attack (because your potential audience is likely fragmented in the social sphere) but then point all channels to your FB page - i.e. host all of your content on FB and then link your social efforts that content. I hope you have a lot of resources to apply to your initiative, because not only do you only have a bit over 2 months left in 2015, but you need to find out WHERE your audience is and WHAT they respond to.

    that's a very tall order for engagement in that span of time.

    80K? By December 31? That's 5.5 times your current rate. It CAN be done, but it's going to cost you. So I have two questions: Question 1. what's your ad budget to rack up this figure (which comes from where, by the way? For why reason? To what ends? Question 2. Why are you pursuing Facebook likes when the real money lies elsewhere (hint: and NO, it's not on Facebook)?

    Your post reminds me of a quote that went something like this: "just because you can pressure somebody to accept an unreasonable goal does not mean that you can pressure them into meeting the goal."
