How does this work? 

  • Our updated Social Performance Analytics introduces aggregated reporting, which helps you understand your brand's performance across different channels.

  • To see Facebook analytic insights, click on Facebook on the left.

  • This will narrow down the data to all Facebook pages in all locations where you participate. 

  • The maximum look-back period is 2 years. Therefore, you can't export analytics for a period older than 2 years.

  • Before exploring the numbers, click on the top right to select the time period you'd like to analyze.

What can you see in this report?

The report's information is divided into three sections: Overview, Content, and Audience. To learn about content performance metrics, navigate to this article.
