Social media reporting tracks metrics like engagement, impressions, reach, and conversions. It helps brands understand what’s working, identify opportunities, and optimize strategies that align with business goals.

Social media metrics are raw numbers—likes, shares, comments—while social media analytics interprets what those numbers mean. Analytics provides strategic context to drive smarter, data-informed marketing.

It depends on your goals, but common high-impact metrics include engagement rate, reach, impressions, follower growth, video completion rate, and click-through rate (CTR). For deeper insight, brands also track sentiment, share of voice, and creative performance over time. The most effective reporting goes beyond vanity metrics and connects data to real business outcomes.
