Top tips when reviewing Insights.

  • When reviewing the insights for the first time don’t overwhelm yourself with data. Take one lot of information at a time.
  • Don’t set your date range too wide or too narrow – I tend to look at the data each month.
  • When reviewing your content insights look at the posts that achieve the goal you had or posts that surprised you in the reaction you got. Study these in more detail to pick out what it is that made it a success. You can then replicate this in other posts or repurpose this post.
  • Don’t be too obsessed by the numbers and let it stop you from just keeping going! Remember you might have a lot of lurkers…

So, hopefully this has given you some useful information and you’re all ready to go review your Insights. It really is crucial when you are looking to optimize your social media strategy.
