How to Turn Your Social Media Analytics Into Profit

What Are Analytics?

Analytics are the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics. In other words, it’s the process of discovering, interpreting, and communicating significant patterns in data. Quite simply, analytics helps us see insights and meaningful data that we might not otherwise detect.

Why Do Analytics Matter?

Remember, social media isn’t just posting whatever, whenever- it’s testing and learning. Trial and error! Analytics show you what content is actually driving engagement and funnel conversions, not just likes!

Targeted Goal: Post smarter, not harder!

So when you post make sure you are trying different days of the week and different times of day with each post, the results may surprise you! Try comparing your photo performances versus your video performances to see which does better, this will help so you know what kind of content to focus on. Test out different captions as well! Try some captions that are more fun and playful, and then some that are more forward and direct, getting your followers to click on your other links. This way you can see what your audience responds better to! Finally, review your analytics weekly to refine your strategy. This will keep you and your pages progressing constantly!
