Facebook Marketing Measurement Tools

leaving comments.

email notifications of posts, a dashboard monitoring key metrics and sentiment, and

To measure your app installs and engagement, you need to integrate your app with the Facebook SDK. When your app is installed or someone lands on the app page you specified, the SDK code lets Facebook know that an install (or other action) has happened. See the Blueprint Mobile SDK course for more info.
See how many people are participating, liking stories or leaving comments. Facebook Insights was originally focused on providing metrics for the planning of Facebook Ad campaigns by Page owners, but it has been steadily increasing its scope to include feedback to Open Graph partners. In addition to activity and demographics on Page usage, it can now provide feedback regarding social plugins such as Likes and Comments. Sites can track their Like activity and can determine which components are most productive. Sites using the comment plugin can also see impressions, a number of comments and the number of times that the comments were seen and clicked on Facebook.
Facebook Insights provides administrators with the “Friends of Fans” metric, telling admins just how many people they can potentially reach organically. Friends of fans are extremely important — they are more likely to visit a brand’s Facebook Page or website, purchase a brand’s products and become fans themselves. Organically, these Facebook fans can easily be reached through the Facebook Ticker, which tracks all user activity. Keep your fans interacting with your brand, and their friends will see all “liking” activity, comments and posts in the top right of their news feed.
Klout Score for Facebook
- Mentions: Mention of your name in a post indicates engagement with you directly.
- Likes: The simplest action that shows engagement with the content you create.
- Comments: As reactions to content you share, comments also reflect direct engagement by your network.
- Subscribers: Subscriber count is a more persistent measure of influence that grows over time.
- Wall Posts: Posts to your wall indicate both influence and engagement.
- Friends: Friend count measures the reach of your network but is less important than how your network engages with your content
