Social Media Marketer Metrics – Page 3

Page Engagement is the total count of interactions people have with a social media page and its posts. Interactions include likes, reactions, comments, shares, reposts, and link clicks, depending on the platform. The metric shows whether your content gets a response, not just whether people see it. Platforms tend to show more of the content people interact with, so Page Engagement helps you decide which topics, formats, and posting times deserve more effort.

Page Impressions counts the total number of times a piece of content is displayed on a screen. One person loading the same page or post three times generates three impressions. You use it to gauge visibility and frequency, not unique reach or engagement. Impressions appear across web analytics, advertising platforms, and social networks, each with slightly different rules for what counts as a display.

Page Likes counts the number of unique users who have liked your business page on a social platform, most commonly Facebook. On Facebook, a like also acts as a follow, meaning those users receive your content updates in their feed. This metric reflects your page's reach potential and is a baseline indicator of your brand's social presence.

Page Likes is a count of the number of people who have liked your page. Page Likes by Country is the count of Page Likes, segmented by country.

Page Reach is the number of unique users who have seen posts or any other content from your social media page at least once. Unlike impressions, it counts each user only once, making it a measure of true audience exposure rather than total views.

Page Unlikes is a count of the number of people who have unliked your page.

Page views are the total count of times a page loads or reloads in a user's browser, including repeat visits by the same user.

A photo comment is a primarily text-based form of engagement on a social media platform where users respond to photos via the comment feature on photos. The number of comments on a photo indicates the level of engagement users have with that photo.

Photo Likes is the number of likes a photo post receives on a social media platform. It shows how many people reacted to a single image or a group of images. This metric is no longer widely used as a primary measure of social performance; consider Engagement Rate or Reach-based measures instead. A like takes one tap, so it says little about whether a photo changed what someone thought, did, or bought. It still works as a quick, directional check on which images your audience responds to.

Post Clicks is the total number of times a post was clicked. This includes photo views, video plays, profile clicks, and content expansions, but excludes comments, likes, and shares.

Post Comments is the count of written responses people leave on your social media posts. It measures how many people cared enough to reply, and it shows what they think in their own words. A comment takes more effort than a like, so it is a stronger signal of interest, agreement, confusion, or frustration. Teams use it to learn which topics and formats start conversation, which posts need a faster reply, and whether a campaign is landing as intended.

Post Engagement Rate is the ratio of interactions with a social media post to the total number of followers the page or profile has. This metric shows how involved followers are with the content posted on a social media page. Generally, higher Post Engagement Rate shows higher levels of follower involvement.
