FACEBOOK REPORTING

Social Media analytics for Facebook - user engagement and trends within one online dashboard.

Octoboard data dashboard: Facebook application 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:

  • 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

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.

OVERVIEW

Key Facebook Page metrics in one widget.
Description

This widget combines the following metrics displayed on the same time scale: Reach, Fans, Clicks, Shares, Likes, Comments.

Tips
Make sure you select correct Facebook Page. We recommend OVERVIEW widget for your main dashboard as it offers a high level view of your Facebook account.
USE THIS METRIC

PERFORMANCE

Impressions (page displays), Reach (number of people) and Engagement (sum of clicks, likes and shares) over a period of time.
Description
Impressions is the number of times a post from your Page is displayed. People may see multiple impressions of the same post. For example, if someone sees a Page update in News Feed and then sees that same update when a friend shares it that would count as 2 impressions.

Reach is the number of people who received impressions of a Page post. Reach might be less than impressions since one person can see multiple impressions. For example, if a person sees a Page update in News Feed and then sees that same update when a friend shares it that would represent a reach count of one.

Likes is the number of times people Like your posts. Likes are an indicator of how well your content resonates with people.

Comments is the number of comments people make on your posts. Comments can provide insight into how people feel about your content, products or brand overall.

Shares is the number of times people share your content. Shares measure how much your content is amplified by those who see it.

Engagement is the total number of people who engagement with your content, including clicking on page links.

USE THIS METRIC

LATEST POSTS

Recent posts with Likes and Comments sorted by date (latest posts first).
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.

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.
USE THIS METRIC

TOP POSTS

Top posts with Likes and Comments sorted by Engagement.
Description
Your posts are ranked by Engagement. Most engaging posts are shown at the top. If you want to sort your posts by date (latest posts at the top), select different sorting or pick Latest Posts widget.

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.

Engagement = (Likes x 1 + Comments x 20 + Shares x 30)


Maximum of 20 posts will be displayed in this widget.
Tips
Do not confuse Engagement with Engagement Rate. They are different metrics.

Engagement Rate is calculated by dividing the sum of all actions (not weighted) by Reach (number of people who have seen your ads.

Reach and Engagement Rate are standard Facebook metrics.

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.

Great content can become viral. It happens when others start talking about your articles or posts, add links and spread the word.
