In the awareness category, the most important metrics for social media strategists to track are brand awareness, audience growth rate, post reach, potential reach, and social share of voice.
-- Modern life can’t currently be separated from social media. As such, ad campaigns can’t be created without keeping in mind these platforms. While social networks offer immense opportunities, they also pose considerable challenges for advertisers, particularly in extracting meaningful insights from the vast amounts of data generated by user interactions. Daniel Yomtobian, a distinguished entrepreneur and thought leader in online media, highlights this complexity: “Measuring the success of a brand campaign or evaluating a marketing strategy can feel overwhelming due to the sheer volume of data. Fortunately, advanced analytics tools are now available, but the real question is which metrics truly matter. The key challenge lies in pinpointing the most relevant data—those metrics that align directly with the business objectives driving the social media strategy.”
The huge body of social media metrics may seem like rough waters to navigate, but this multitude can be grouped into four main categories: awareness, engagement, conversion, and customer metrics, Daniel Yomtobian explains. While every element in these categories can offer valuable insights, its overall usefulness will be determined by its contribution to the business objective in focus. In the awareness category, the most important metrics for social media strategists to track are brand awareness, audience growth rate, post reach, potential reach, and social share of voice. Generally speaking, this category provides numbers that reveal the current audience a brand has and the potential new additions. Engagement metrics are perhaps the most widely tracked group, possibly because these numbers are the easiest to obtain, but they are considered of little use when it comes to measuring return on investment (ROI) or customer lifetime value (CLTV). These so-called “vanity metrics” include likes, shares, comments, followers, views, impressions, traffic, and bounce rate. Even though they may not be helpful when measuring business goals, engagement metrics are still important because they allow brands to optimize their content.
When determining the effectiveness of a social media campaign in terms of generating sales or prompting another desired action, the metrics in the conversion category are deemed the best indicator, says Daniel Yomtobian. Among the key stats to track here are conversion rate, bounce rate, social referral traffic, click-through rate (CTR), cost per click (CPC), and cost per thousand impressions (CPM). The collective data will provide insights into the value of the content for the target audience and determine whether marketers are getting solid returns on their investment. As for customer metrics, these are essential for any brand that wants to be perceived as credible, trustworthy, and committed to keeping its clients happy. In addition to tracking customer testimonials, marketers should also consider utilizing customer satisfaction and net promoter scores, using these additional data to pinpoint areas in need of improvement and refine their message.
Daniel Yomtobian rose from the ranks of web designers to become one of the most prominent CEOs in the online media space.
