FACEBOOK REPORTING
Social Media analytics for Facebook - user engagement and trends within one online dashboard.
Data is often considered the lifeblood of a business. For online companies and marketing teams, analyzing Facebook data becomes imperative to understand the market, audience behavior, and to make informed decisions. With a plethora of data metrics available, especially on platforms like Facebook, the challenge becomes not just collection, but effective interpretation and representation. Enter the era of automation with platforms like Octoboard, designed to simplify and optimize data reporting.
- The Need for Software Platforms and SaaS Products Traditional methods of Facebook data collection and analysis are time-consuming, prone to human error, and often do not present the holistic view required for strategic decision-making. Software platforms and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) products streamline this process. They provide:
Efficiency: Automated data retrieval and representation speeds up the process, freeing up time for interpretation and strategy development.
Accuracy: Eliminate human errors associated with manual entry and calculations.
Real-time Analysis: Most online businesses operate 24/7, and so does their data. Real-time analytics provided by these platforms ensure you're always updated.
Customization: Tailor your reports based on what metrics matter most to your business, ensuring relevance and focus.
- The Power of Automating Facebook Reporting with Octoboard Facebook, being a prime platform for businesses to engage with their audience, provides a wealth of data. Octoboard stands out by automating the generation and representation of these essential metrics:
- FACEBOOK LATEST POSTS & TOP POSTS Understanding what content garners attention helps shape future content strategies. These metrics give insights into what's current and what's working.
- FACEBOOK AUDIENCE Metrics From PAGE FANS BY REGION to FANS BY LANGUAGE, understanding your audience's demographics and preferences is the foundation of targeted marketing. Octoboard's automation ensures these metrics are always updated and at your fingertips.
- FACEBOOK IMPRESSIONS, REACH, and REFERRERS These metrics are vital to gauge the visibility and reach of your content. Whether organic or paid, knowing how far your content travels and from where traffic originates helps in optimizing ad spends and content placement.
- FACEBOOK ENGAGEMENT Metrics - LIKES, CLICKS, and ACTIONS Engagement indicates audience interest and interaction. Metrics like COMMENTS, SHARES, and POSITIVE FEEDBACK TRENDS provide a clear picture of how your audience perceives your content. Higher engagement often translates to higher conversions.
- NEGATIVE ACTIONS and UNLIKES It's not just the positive metrics that matter. Understanding what deters your audience helps in rectifying mistakes and avoiding them in future campaigns.
- STORIES and STORY IMPRESSIONS With the growing popularity of 'Stories' on various social platforms, measuring their impact is crucial. Story impressions give insights into how many times your story was viewed, assisting in understanding its effectiveness.
Tips
We recommend breaking down your Facebook metrics into the following areas:
- Your Facebook posts popularity and user feedback
- Audience insights (age, gender, location)
- Content reach
- Traffic sources
- Facebook ads efficiency
- Engagement
- Negative feedback

Can I track my Facebook post popularity and audience feedback in real-time?
It is important to know when your audience reads and reacts to your content. Engage with your readers when you have their attention. The more timely and responsive you are the higher will be overall engagement. For active social network users, it is important to be able to check user feedback without the need to log in and out of websites. Use an online social media dashboard for Facebook to watch engagement in popular social networks without constantly switching between accounts.

Description
We use Engagement to rank your Facebook content. Latest Posts widget sorts posts by time of creation. Most recent posts are at the top.
Post Engagement is calculated using the sum of weighted user actions. We applied different weightings to actions. Because comments, for example, are more valuable than Likes.
Last 20 posts will be displayed.

Post Engagement = Likes x 1 + Comments x 20 + Shares x 30
Last 20 posts will be displayed.
Tips
We recommend placing Latest Posts widget in your most frequently used dashboard. As each post shows actions of users (likes, shares and comments), you can always spot user activity as soon as it takes place. By commenting back or thanking your visitors for likes or shares you dramatically increase Engagement rate and boost popularity of your account.
To increase level of Engagement, make sure your dashboards are refreshed frequently. Free accounts do not update dashboard data more than once per day. For real-time dashboards, switch to a premium account.

How often do people see my Facebook content?
REACH is a great metric. It tells you how many people are shown (reached by) your content (or ads). Not all social networks report user counts. Instead, they report counts of views or IMPRESSIONS and view FREQUENCY. Use REACH to evaluate and fine-tune definitions of your ad campaigns. It is useful to track it over time and correlate with actions such as LIKES. If your content REACH grows but LIKES count declines this could be an indication of low content relevance.

How viral is my content? Do other Facebook users talk about and spread it further?
Great content can become viral. It happens when others start talking about your articles or posts, add links and spread the word. Friends of your friends pick it up and become your audience and so on. When it happens it is almost always a great news. If your content becomes viral, it is important to understand why and hopefully repeat the success. VIRAL REACH metrics help to identify these moments. Revisit your viral content and learn from it to make your future posts and pages even better.

ACTIONS shows how much people interact with the content. Factors that influence engagement include users’ comments, shares, likes, and more. This is an important metric to keep an eye on because higher consumer engagement is a sign of great content. ACTION RATE is a metric that is used heavily in analyzing social media.
