What KPIs from your social networks interest you?

That in Google everything can be measured, we know. That we can get a lot of data, we know. Now… How can we not get lost in a tide of insights when what we want is to measure the performance of our networks? Knowing which KPIs are interesting, sometimes, is not so easy to determine. That’s why today in our blog we tell you how to collect the necessary data to monitor and evaluate well the social networks of your business or brand.

What is a KPI?

First things first, we’re not going to bore you either because you probably already know, but, just in case, you need to know what a KPI for a report is. It is a “Key Performance Indicator”. Come on, those data that allow you to know the important figures.

What are the interesting KPIs in social networks?

On the one hand, we find the generic KPIs that we are interested in obtaining from all our networks: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter…etc, and, on the other hand, specific KPIs that we are interested in knowing from each social network depending on its typology, what its main use is, how its structure is… Let’s take steps.

Generic KPIs to all RRSS

We entered 6 interesting KPIs in terms of the social network landscape in general, i.e. applicable to various social networks:

  1. Activity metrics: these metrics measure the volume of activity of our networks. They are activity metrics, for example, the ratio of contents or publications, or the average response time.
  2. Reach metrics: they will give you the necessary information about your audience and its growth. This type of metrics includes the number of followers, growth rate or brand awareness, for example.
  3. Commitment metrics: serve to measure engagement, such as the rate of amplification.
  4. Acquisition metrics: measure in a deeper way the relationship of users with your brand. They are the best known, such as the number of page views, sessions, e-mail subscriptions…
  5. Conversion metrics: they measure the moments in which users make a desired action such as buying a product, spending X time on our website, subscribing to our newsletter… This group includes insights such as conversion rate, return on investment…etc.
  6. Loyalty metrics: these metrics give us information about the behaviour and interests of our customers, such as the customer satisfaction index, their comments on the networks…etc.

On Facebook, we recommend that you measure…
