Frequently asked questions
How often should I create a social media analytics report?
+
Monthly is the right rhythm for most creators. It gives trends enough time to emerge while still being frequent enough to course-correct. Report on the same day each month so periods compare cleanly against each other.
Which social media metrics should a report focus on?
+
Lead with reach, engagement rate, and follower growth rate, then tie them to your top-performing posts. Vanity totals like raw follower count matter less than the trends and the content decisions behind them.
