BENEFITS OF FACEBOOK INSIGHTS

 

If your business owns a Facebook page, you can access and analyze your page’s performance through Facebook Insights. They indeed offer demographic details on your audience, how people respond to your posts (reactions, likes or shares) and engage with your page (talking about it, promoting it).

 

The Overview of your Facebook Insights will provide you with a summary of your page and posts activity for the last day, week or month. You can then access any of the subcategories shown on the overview page and get a deeper analysis: likes, reach, views, actions or posts.

 

Each of them will inform you on specific areas of your page and provide data about your performance. Connecting Facebook Insights to datapine will bring all those insights a step further as you will be able to manage your data along many other metrics, parallelize them and have them interact with each other on powerful interactive dashboards.
