Running a check on your social media performance doesn\u2019t have to take hours and hours, but it\u2019s worth a little time for a few key reasons:<\/p>\n<p><b>Makes your brand (and you) look good<\/b>: By pulling out a few easy-to-find social media KPIs (key performance indicators), you\u2019ll be able to see the channels, posts, and campaigns in which your brand excelled. Don\u2019t forget to compare your data to your top competitors for critical context for your success, and of course, share it with your team.<\/p>\n<p><b>Get a jump start on social media strategy tweaks<\/b>: Taking note of what worked well for your brand and jotting down a few ideas for what\u2019s working well for your competitors gives you a roadmap for exactly what you should be doing next on social.<\/p>\n<p><b>Identify areas of improvemen<\/b><b>t<\/b>: It&#8217;s not just about celebrating wins; it&#8217;s also about spotting what didn&#8217;t quite hit the mark. Recognizing posts or campaigns that didn&#8217;t resonate well provides key insights into what to avoid in future strategies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Understand your audience bette<\/b><b>r<\/b>: Stay tuned to the online chatter that\u2019s happening about your brand or product to understand public opinions, trends, and sentiments. Social listening insights will help you tweak your content, making it more of what your audience loves and less of what they scroll past.<\/p>\n<p><b>Map your performance over time<\/b>: Investing a little time reviewing this year\u2019s key social media metrics will give you even more to look back on next month\/quarter\/year to help you tell a story of how your social handles are growing and changing over time.<\/p>\n<p>Take a quiet afternoon or a quick lunch break to review your brand\u2019s recent social media performance. This review can be as quick or comprehensive as you need it to be, and don\u2019t be afraid to go off-script by choosing other metrics or screenshots that are most relevant to your brand. We\u2019ll walk you through exactly how to use our free, easy-to-use social media report template.<\/p>\n<h2>How to use our social media reporting template<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, download the free slide deck in Keynote or PowerPoint, which includes everything you\u2019ll need to get started.

In this example, we picked the top six.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 6: Calculate engagement total per post in your top 6<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Your overall engagement total per post helps set a baseline for the engagement you can expect (and improve upon!) in the future. To find that number, take the engagement totals at the bottom of each post in your top 6 and divide them by the number of posts you\u2019re looking at to fill in the average engagement for the top 6 posts. In this case, Alaska Airlines averaged 9,556 engagements per post, which is nothing to sneeze at.<\/p>\n<p>Write up a sentence or two about commonalities or differences among your top posts. Are they all videos or photos? Do they all feature product shots, or do posts with people perform better?<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 7: Identify your top campaign or hashtag<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>On the right side of the \u201cTop Posts\u201d slide, we\u2019ll focus on a top social media campaign or hashtag. We bet you\u2019re intimately familiar with the strategies you tried recently, but if you need a little #inspo, head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.rivaliq.com\/overview\/facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overview dashboard<\/a> where we pull out a few key insights to focus on. You can also review the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.rivaliq.com\/posts\/facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social Posts dashboard<\/a> where we dive deep into top hashtags, popular topics that were mentioned in your posts, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve picked an area of focus, try tagging your posts using Post Tags to easily keep track of campaigns and pull out top metrics. Screenshot a few of the top posts, and then do a quick calculation or head to the<a href=\"https:\/\/app.rivaliq.com\/post-tags\/facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Post Tags dashboard<\/a> to see the average engagements per post for that hashtag or campaign.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-34435 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-700x195.png\" alt=\"three of Alaska Airlines' top giveaway posts\" width=\"700\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-350x97@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-1024x285.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-1536x428.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-100x28.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-350x97.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-1170x326.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Giveaway-posts-from-Alaska-Airlines-Facebook-700x195@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Write up a sentence about what made this campaign successful and any lessons learned.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;&lt;div style=&quot;background:#E4F3FA; padding: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\n &quot;Try \n&lt;\/strong&gt;To perform this analysis, we use the Cross-channel Landscape Comparison report in Rival IQ.&lt;\/div&gt;\n\n&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:4993,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;11&quot;:3,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial, sans-serif&quot;}\"><div style=\"background:#E4F3FA; padding: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;font-style:italic;\"><strong>\n Game changer: \n<\/strong>Learn to harness the power of <a href=\"\/blog\/getting-started-webinar-post-tags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post Tagging<\/a> in Rival IQ for faster and deeper social media analysis.
