The Social Media Metrics That Matter

“We post a lot but see no results” — usually you’re measuring the wrong thing. Here are the social media metrics that matter.

Why measure?

What isn’t measured doesn’t improve.

Metrics that matter

  • Engagement rate (more than follower count)
  • Reach & impressions
  • Follower growth (the trend)
  • CTR
  • Saves & shares
  • Conversions (the ultimate metric)

Conclusion
