#1: Delve Into Twitter Analytics


Twitter provides some interesting statistics in the Analytics dashboard. On the Home tab, you’ll find performance numbers for the last 28 days, as well as your top tweets.
If you dig deeper into your tweets on the Tweets tab, you can see how well people are engaging with your content. View a list of your most recent tweets along with numbers on impressions, engagements, and engagement rates.
Impressions
Impressions is the number of people who have seen your tweets. That doesn’t mean people actually read them; they may have simply scrolled past them. For this reason, impressions is just a vanity metric.
Engagement
The engagements and engagement rates are what matter. These happen when people click on, favorite, retweet, or reply to your tweets. You can see your 28-day average and compare that against individual tweets to find the best ones.
Use the Top Tweets tab of the Twitter Analytics dashboard to view your engagement activity.

Consider setting KPIs for increasing your engagement rates. Pick the tweets that perform well and then try to duplicate their success. The graph in your dashboard will show if you’re heading in the right direction.
You may notice that engagement is higher during certain times of the day or days of the week. Take this information into account and tweak your posting schedule accordingly.
Audiences
Go to the Audiences tab to find out more about your followers. You can see a breakdown by interests, buying style, household income, and net worth.

Facebook pages provide some incredibly detailed analytics. To access this data, log in as a business manager of the page and head to the Insights tab.
Right away, you’ll see a dashboard of important metrics. Two of the most important are Actions on Page (the number of times people have clicked a call to action on the page) and Post Engagements (the number of times people have liked, commented on, and shared your posts).
The metrics Reach, Page Views, and Page Likes are meaningless if no one is engaging with you or taking action on your page.
Post Engagement
Your primary KPI should be to increase post engagements and actions on your page. Look through your previous posts to find those that have performed well and try to duplicate their success.
