Many companies regularly post content to their social media channels but aren’t looking at their analytics on a regular basis. If you aren’t looking at your data, you aren’t really achieving social media success.
Social media analytics is the process of gathering and analyzing data and reports based on metrics from one or multiple social media accounts.
Social media analytics provides insight into a number of important factors that are directly tied to the success of your marketing efforts and your business as a whole.
One of the keys to social media success is to know what types of posts on which platforms are most effective in resonating with your followers. This will enable you to consistently produce engaging content and can turn prospects into clients, recruits into employees and help you retain clients.
It’s a good idea to look at your social analytics at least once a week. Do a deeper dive into the data once a month by running a social media audit. This can help shed light on specific topics such as the types of posts that most resonate with your followers, the social networks that are working best and the networks should you rethink/rework.
