Some social media measurement headlines;

  1. Followers

4. Awareness: Impressions and Reach

These are important if the brand’s goal is to track social media metrics. impressions and reach are two different words with two different meanings;

Impressions: It tells you how many times your brand’s post is shown on the home page of someone’s social media account.

Reach: It is the number of people that the post shared by your brand can reach.

No matter how good the number of impressions may seem, if the engagement rate is not high, it may be an indication that your content is not engaging. For your content to reach high reach and engagement, it should attract people’s attention with the right time and techniques. Likes and shares play an important role in this regard.
