Monitoring your campaign starts before you even hit publish. When setting up your social ad, think about your goals: What are they? Are you looking to raise brand awareness? Want to gain more web traffic or increase engagement? Setting your goal will help tell the story of your results.
Once you have your goal, now it’s time to match that goal to the metrics. If your goal was brand awareness, look at metrics like reach, impression, etc. How many people saw your ads? If the goal was increased web traffic, take a look at link clicks. (Tip: Always include a URL tracking code to your link. This will make tracking traffic and sources much easier.) Finally, if your goal was more brand engagement, look at post shares, comments, likes, etc. Next, it’s time to look at the numbers. Use the social media reporting tools included on the platform itself. Facebook and Instagram specifically include their own reporting tools to look at metrics on posts and ads. A few questions to ask yourself when looking at these numbers: How do they compare to your expectations? How do they compare to similar campaigns you’ve run? Social media is personal to each brand; one company’s success might not directly relate to another. Really focus on your brand: Did you get what you were looking for? If you’re unsure of what some metrics mean, here’s a sheet that explains it all. (link tbd) Social media won’t be perfect the first go-around. It takes time to learn and get used to.
