Analytics worth checking
- Reach, engagement and follower growth over time.
- Which posts and formats perform best.
- Best time suggestions, treated as hints, not rules.
- Exportable reports for clients or your team.
- Competitor benchmarking, if you need it.
Native analytics inside each platform are free and often enough. Pair them with Google Analytics on your site to see which posts bring visitors.
