Whether you are a marketer or a business owner, you need to keep track of your money and efforts being spent on social media. Measuring the ROI from social media could prove to be a challenge especially with the stack of insights and metrics provided by the networks.

With the introduction of the Analytics section in ContentStudio, you will be able to gauge and measure the pace, effects, and results of your social media marketing campaigns. Each section is beautifully crafted so you can extract accurate information about what is happening on your social channels.

The analytics section in ContentStudio is segregated w.r.t individual social media channels for better debunking the performance of each channel. Let us dig deep into each section and see what each section has to offer.

Social Analytics Overview

For modern-day marketers, it is essential to determine the performance of social media marketing across all social channels. This gives a wholesome understanding of your social engagement against attributes such as posts, shares, likes, comments. The social analytics overview tab shows the combined statistics of all your social media channels.


The combined engagement statistics are beautifully displayed in a colorful graph. The graph is explained below.

Comments: Comments are the written expression of thoughts that you have regarding people, posts, articles, pictures or tweets. In the analytics section, this number shows the combined textual interchange on your posts for a specific period of time.

Reposts: Reposts are shown in yellow color and are the total number of times your shared Content has been reshared or reposted by others.

Likes: The total number of likes in green color is an indicator of how many people relate to the content you are sharing. This content might be in any form.

Posts Published: This is the aggregated pieces of content which you have shared with your audience. This figure is shown in black color and encompasses all other graphs.

On the X-axis of this graph is the timeline which can be custom selected to fit any range. The Y-axis shows the engagement.

Total Engagements

The total number of times a user interacted with a Tweet. This includes clicking on the Tweet itself, Retweets, replies, follows, likes, links, cards, hashtags, embedded media, username, profile photo, or Tweet expansion.

Average Engagement

This number represents all the posts published on social media divided by their engagement (likes, comments, etc combined). It shows an average of how your overall content is performing. Those performed well plus those which did not.

The posts are evaluated based on impressions, clicks, Total engagement, and comments. The post with a better-aggregated score in all four categories is declared as the top post.
