We know that data-driven decisions are often the best kind of decisions, and we want to help you get the most from your social media strategy.
Engagement Metrics
Likes, Comments, Shares: These standard engagement cues give a good sense of how your audience interacts with your content. If your audience is very engaged, your content is resonating with them, attracting people.
Click-Through Rate (CTR): Your CTR measures the number of people who clicked on a link in your social media post compared to the number of impressions. When your CTR is high, your content makes readers want to visit your site.
Engagement rate: The engagement rate can be calculated by the total engagements (likes, comments, shares) divided by the total score to simulate an impression, multiplied by 100. It provides an overall look at how engaging your content is compared to how many people see it.
Audience Metrics
Follower Growth: While it can be good to have a lot of followers, measuring their growth over time will show whether your promotional and content efforts work in attracting and keeping followers.
Audience Demographics: When it comes to your audience’s age, sex, and preferences, having insight into where they are will help you tailor your content to target them better.
Conversion Metrics
Conversion Rate: A conversion rate measures the percentage of people who, after clicking through on a social media post, completed a desired action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter. By tracking your conversion rate, you can gauge how successful your social media campaigns are in driving tangible results.
Revenue Attributed: You can evaluate the effectiveness of your social media through the revenue generated via those social media promotions. Measuring sales, leads, or other revenue-related metrics clearly shows the value of your social media efforts.
