The visits metric shown on the Facebook Page is the number of checkins made to this Page's location.

Have a look at the Graph Explorer query for your examples:

1)

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=keralarecipe%3Ffields%3Did%2Cname%2Ccheckins%2Clikes&version=v2.1

{
  "id": "353392871360845", 
  "name": "Kerala food recipes", 
  "checkins": 1, 
  "likes": 11701
}

2)

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=wpartist%3Ffields%3Did%2Cname%2Ccheckins%2Clikes&version=v2.1

{
  "id": "554284091263282", 
  "name": "Wordpress Developer & Designer", 
  "checkins": 16, 
  "likes": 29412
}

number of likes is the count of likes(on posts and pages there is a like hyperlink if you like something shared and click on like only then the count of like is increased) whereas the number of visits is showing the count of people who have visited or opened the shared page or post.

  • I tried visiting and opening the shared posts using different facebook Ids. But the visit count doesn't changes. Official page of BMW Page https://www.facebook.com/BMW doesn't have a single visit, That doesn't mean no one visited or opened their shared page or post. – Deloader Oct 09 '14 at 05:54
  • That's an incorrect answer. – Tobi Oct 09 '14 at 06:44
