Social Media Dashboard for Facebook Released
We're excited to announce the addition of Facebook support in our Free Social Media Dashboard! With the ever-evolving world of marketing and social media, it's crucial to stay on top of metrics and KPIs for your Facebook analytics (Reference: Social Media Examiner's State of Social Media Marketing Research). Our mission is to simplify this process by transforming those plain numbers into valuable insights.
According to a recent Think with Google article, effective data organization is essential to drive better decisions. Our user-friendly interface ensures that adding new data to your dashboard is effortless:
- Connect to Facebook
- Select and add widgets (our pre-created graphs and charts)
Remember, organized data is just the starting point. To make your dashboard truly useful, add two more steps:
- Ask practical questions (more on this below)
- Start getting insights
We've organized and grouped widgets for optimal clarity. In our Free Social Edition, we've limited their number to avoid confusion while still choosing practical and easy-to-use metrics for your daily use, as emphasized by a Forbes article on the importance of understanding marketing metrics.
To help you move from graphs and numbers to valuable insights, we've compiled a useful guide on questions you should ask Facebook daily. Keeping these practical questions in mind while reviewing data ensures you get the most out of your dashboard:
- Audience - Metrics that reveal the types of people visiting your Facebook page (Reference: Hootsuite's Facebook Audience Insights Guide)
- Popularity - Is my Facebook account gaining popularity over time? (Reference: Search Engine Journal's Facebook Popularity in 2021)
- Reach - How far does your Facebook content go? How many people see it and how often? (Reference: Buffer's Ultimate Guide to Facebook Reach)
- Engagement - Do visitors engage with my Facebook content (comment, like, etc.)? (Reference: Sprout Social's Facebook Engagement Tips)
- Paid vs Organic - What portion of your traffic comes from Facebook Ads? (Reference: WordStream's Comparison of Facebook Ads and Boosted Posts)
- Viral content - How viral is my content? Do people share and spread it further? (Reference: Socialbakers' Guide to Creating Viral Facebook Content)
With our metrics, you'll have a powerful tool in your marketing arsenal. Keep in mind that graphs, charts, or maps that don't provide practical assistance or answer essential questions are probably not worth displaying in a dashboard.
