This kind of insight can help you to make informed decisions about your website and which marketing campaigns to invest in. Similarly, if you have chosen to promote your business on Facebook, their Insights tool gives you data on how well your business page resonates with your audience. In this post we explore what data is available to you via Facebook Insights and what it means.<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s take a step back. There are many ways a business can promote themselves using Facebook, whether it be by creating a Facebook business page, creating <a title=\"Facebook: Four Ways to Fuel Traffic to Your Yola Site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/facebook-four-ways-to-fuel-traffic-to-your-yola-site\/\" target=\"_blank\">advertising campaigns<\/a>, or both. Facebook Insights give you data on user interaction of your business page as a whole and on individual posts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogcontent.yola.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-Insights-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7016\" alt=\"Facebook Insights Admin Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcontent.yola.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-Insights-3.png\" width=\"542\" height=\"29\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAny user set as a Page Admin will have access to Facebook Insights. You can access this by clicking on \u201cSee Insights\u201d on the top of your Facebook Business page admin panel.<\/p>\n<p>The first page you will land on is the Overview dashboard. This will show you the key data about your page for the last 7 days, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Page Likes \u2013 The total number of \u201cLikes\u201d your business page has, the number of new \u201cLikes\u201d your page has received within a set time period, and how your Likes have increased week-over-week.<\/li>\n<li>Post Reach \u2013 The total reach of your page\u2019s posts, and how your reach has changed week-over-week.<\/li>\n<li>Engagement \u2013 The number of people that have engaged with your page\u2019s posts this week compared to the previous week, as well as the number of Post Likes, Comments, Shares and Clicks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-Insights-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7019\" alt=\"Facebook Insights Overview\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-Insights-1.png\" width=\"624\" height=\"308\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBeneath your Overview Dashboard, you are given the capability to view your last 5 page posts and their key metrics. You\u2019ll be able to see what type of post it was (whether it be a link, photo or status), its target audience, Reach and Engagement. You also have the option to \u201cBoost\u201d any of your posts, where you can pay a fee to expand your reach a wider audience. If you are already using Facebook ads, this section will show how much you have spent promoting the post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-insights-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7020\" alt=\"Facebook insights\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-insights-2.png\" width=\"557\" height=\"35\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the Overview dashboard you can drill down into various areas by using the top navigation to select the area you are interested in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-insights.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7021\" alt=\"Facebook insights\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Facebook-insights.png\" width=\"503\" height=\"22\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Likes<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Likes section will show you how your Facebook Business Page has grown over time while drilling down into more detail about how and where this has happened.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at your Total Page Likes will allow you to see how your page has grown over a specified time period. It also allows you to view the number and percentage of Likes obtained on a specified day and the source of those Likes, whether it be directly from your page or via page suggestions. This data could be used to measure the success of an ad campaign. For example, if you are running a campaign for 1 week in order to increase the number of Likes on your Facebook business page, you can compare the number of Likes you received during this period to the average number of Likes you would receive in a given week when the campaign is not running.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can also find out if the Likes your page has received were Organic or Paid Likes, meaning whether they happened naturally or if they are as a result of paid advertising via Facebook Ads. Net Likes data also allows you to see how many people have liked and unliked your page within a given time frame, giving you what is known as the number of \u201cnet likes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Net Likes = Likes \u2013 Unlikes<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/facebook-insights-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7022\" alt=\"facebook insights\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yola.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/facebook-insights-4.png\" width=\"225\" height=\"230\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last set of Like data looks at where your page\u2019s Likes come from, breaking them down by where they happened, whether they occurred on the actual Business Page itself, from a Page Suggestion or another location.<\/p>\n<p>We have much more information about what your Facebook Insights are telling you.
