What are some crucial social media metrics to keep track of?
Many social media analytics tools exist today in order to help your online brand track what is working to boost your business, and what’s not. Let’s take a look at the importance of tracking reach, engagement, and impressions on your social channels:
- User Reach
- Engagement Rate
- Number of Impressions
1) User Reach
The first thing to track with your analytics tools is your reach. This is the number of users who are seeing your content, or who your content is “reaching”. Note that the reach metric will still only count the actual number of users, not how many times they have seen your content. Having a low reach number means you should prioritize attaining new users.
2) Engagement Rate
Shares, likes, comments, and more online interactions track your content’s engagement metric. Tracking your engagement rate lets you understand which content is making the biggest impact. Higher quality content means more engagement, whereas a low engagement rate should consider a content revamp in order to drive profitable engagement.
3) Number of Impressions
Unlike reach tracking the number of people seeing your content, impressions are tracked by the total number of times an individual user sees your content. What social media marketing experts are looking to measure is the ability to get content out and in front of a target audience. Increasing impressions lead to exposure, and that exposure leads to brand awareness.
