Focus on the basics:
Start with easy metrics: likes, comments, shares
Try and replicate success
Start a monthly log to track numbers:
Follower total
New followers
Overall reach / impressions
Engagement rate

Once you have the basics, graduate:
Don’t be afraid of Facebook Insights
Let insights guide your posting strategy
Use Facebook’s help center if you don’t understand a metric
Think back to your goals—how can analytics inform you of
success?
