24. Understanding the important metrics
• The important things to measure in social media are
• Reach & Sharing. The ability to reach friends of fans
• Engagement. The comments, likes, shares of posts
• Retention. Are you able to keep your audience active?
• Traffic. Does your social media audience also visit your
website?
• ROI. Does your social media activity drive traffic,
conversion to leads or sales, drive word of mouth
Of course the volume of likes and followers you have is
sometimes important, but growing your community size
should not be the primary objective of engaging in the
social media space.
