Don’t worry, throughout this post, I’m going to give you the main keys of how you can improve performance by getting the most out of every aspect it collects Facebook Insights.
Before entering fully into the more technical aspects of the Tool, I’m going to quickly summarize what it’s about and where you can find it.
We could define it as the “lab your fan page“, is that section where everything that happens to your Page, the performance of your posts, reach, results, etc. is analyzed and measured. Yes, it’s like Facebook Analytics.
Within all the dimensions it offers, there are some highlights that can give you the first data more Relevant about the performance of your company profile or that of your customer:
Its access is very simple, you will find it by entering first of all, in your personal Facebook profile.
In the upper right corner, you’ll see a drop-down next to your profile picture, this is where you have to tap your profile fan page.
Once inside, it’s just about tapping the account you’re interested in analyzing (be careful, you’ll see the Ad Account Manager section below)
Finally, the tool you will find it in the tab where it says “Statistics” as you can see in this image:
Each of the features of Facebook Insights it gives you the possibility to see specifically the performance that has had each aspect of your fan page.
However, without putting all this amount of information in context, the analysis of its daily operation loses value to you. That’s why throughout the post I’m going to give some examples so that you can understand it better and really see how you can implement this tool with concrete actions based on real marketing goals that help measure performance and its achievement i.
Within a strategy, for example, Content marketing on social channels, the first thing you need to consider is the definition of your buyer person, that is, that representation that includes the most relevant characteristics of who would be your ideal customer for each of your products/services that you offer to the market.
Once you’ve defined what your customer goal, you will have to create your organic content thinking about offering you the highest possible value, relevant content that is of interest to you.
To do this, it would make a lot of sense to project different objectives such as Reach, increased Followers or that of Interaction with your mark.
Some of the Dimensions valuable that Facebook Insights offers you to measure the achievement of those objectives is in this case, the section of likes, publications, scope, etc.
Once you’ve observed the Behavior of your audience with your Content, you can now make decisions based on specific posts that have become more far-reaching or have generated greater interaction.
Sometimes, you’ll see that the fact that one has achieved better or worse results is based on simple aspects such as the content of the copy or the particular image if it reflects to a greater or lesser extent the Core of your target.
Setting another example, in one of my clients in Digital Menta , gets a lot Interaction with posts that are focused on the Website Blog, already within the content strategy i was talking about earlier, it’s valuable information that directly captures the target’s pain points.
Something that therefore generates interaction and arouses interest for this particular audience.
On the other hand, if you’re also pursuing a strategy in Facebook Ads with audience-targeted campaigns, you can include promoting one of your organic posts and comparing organic reach vs. Paid.
Look: Always remember to include the promotion of your posts from the facebook Ads Manager tool, so you have more control over your budgets, optimizations and audiences. I always recommend doing it that way.
In this way, and as I commented, you can compare the result of promoting a particular post for an organic or paid reach. Many times I notice that a publication organically does not generate enough scope and that thanks to including it in some campaign, it ends up generating the results that had been set at the beginning.
By the counterroo, on other occasions and especially for the Draws, organically and encouraging your users to share, enough traffic is generated naturally and thus fulfilling any of your objectives. Whether it’s website visits, lead engagement or clicks on the post link.
Another very valuable and that can help you make decisions is to know which channel or what particular source brings the main likes of your Page.
As you can see in the photo, you can see different channels that have attributed the origin of the likes of the page.
Here in this particular example, it helps me to determine that after the main Facebook channel, the one that works best is that of google search.
It is a powerful tool to analyze the type of reactions generated by your organic and paid content. Many times, if you’re running some advertising campaign on facebook ads, quality levels are affected by the reactions Negative it generates. It may be some socially sensitive content or you’ve overlooked the targeting targeted target, and this is a way to analyze the type of reaction you’re generating and thus improve performance.
