The first part of the insights to your Facebook page continuously fluctuates, so keep that in mind prior to becoming discouraged if you see the “down red arrow”.

You are able to choose the duration period in which you would like to view these metrics, usually based on a day or weekly time span.


What is “Total Likes”?

The metrics of “Total Likes” depends on the amount of people who have

“liked” your page. The number beside the percentage is formulated from the

date period you have chosen or will automatically show the past weeks

percentage of the “likes” or non-growth of “likes” on your page; you can view

the date period by hovering over the percentage number.

who have “liked” your page. This again, will fluctuate, as your page “likes”

increase or decrease.

What is “People Talking About This” Metric Mean?

This form of metrics indicates the number of unique people who have created

a “story” regarding your page, which means any type of interaction amongst

or about your page within a defaulted or chosen period. (Examples:

comments, likes, tagging etc.)




What is the “Weekly Total Reach” Metric?

This metric displays the week’s total amount of people who have seen

associated content regarding your page, including any ads or sponsored

stories pointing to your page.

measure your overall impact and reach. This information is gathered from the

content on your page, engage more and receive more feedback.

content for your audience, knowing which posts have generated a vibe, will help you

create a better connection with your audience by posting similar content.

engaged on that post by clicking or commenting, “liking” etc. The Virality is a new

feature that indicates the percentage of people who have created a “story” from your

content by sharing it with others. The Virality is also an indicator that measures the

types of posts your audience would respond and share. (Do not be alarmed if the

percentage at first seems low, it is a new feature.) You can also choose to sort the

tabs. In addition, the default shows a 28-day cycle.
