Keeping Up Your Instagram Insights

Author Smart Marketing of SC Categories Marketing, social media marketing

Billions of people around the world use Instagram every day. Most spend an average of 28 minutes on the app per day. That is plenty of time for your brand to reach them.

You may be posting on Instagram, but is your content making a difference in your engagement and reaching potential consumers? At Smart Marketing Advertising Agency, we specialize in all things social media, so we’ve put together some tips for you to keep up your Instagram insights in 2023!

Keep Track of Your Insights

If you’re interested in engagement and followers, it’s important to keep track of your insights on Instagram. To access your insights, your Instagram profile must be converted into a business account. Once complete, you’ll have full access to your account’s data.

Before we continue, there are a few keywords you will want to understand:

  • Metrics are the number of interactions on a post. Using metrics, you can start to understand the importance of other data on your insights tab.
  • Rate metrics give you a percentage figure to help understand your growth over a certain amount of time. So, for example, your interaction rate is the percentage of your followers that have interacted with your post, story, or reel.
  • Growth metrics show you the increase or decrease of a metric over a certain amount of time. For example, you can see if your followers have increased or decreased over a certain period.

Change Your Posting Day or Time

There is no “perfect time” to post on Instagram, but each account has an ideal time for posting. With Insights, you can find your ideal posting time based on your audience’s habits and your past performance. You can view the days your followers are most active, and the average times they are on Instagram per day. Using this data, you can post when a majority of your followers are online to ensure the most engagement.

Adjust Your Content

You can find your top Instagram stories and posts on Instagram Insights based on impressions, reach, and engagement. Look at your top posts and see if you notice any common trends! Usually, your audience will be able to show you 

Experiment with New Content

When all else fails – try something new! It never hurts to change up your strategy and post different content than you have in the past. You can even try different types of content such as Instagram reels and stories, or use Instagram live. 

At the end of the day, keeping track of your Instagram insights is a full-time job – that’s what we’re here for.

What is Facebook Pixel and What Can It Do for Your Business?

Facebook Pixel: What is it?

 

If you are familiar with creating Ads on Facebook then you may have come across something called Facebook Pixel. It is described by Facebook as “A piece of code for your website that lets you measure, optimize, and build audiences for your ad campaigns.”

 

So What Does Facebook’s Pixel Do?

Facebook’s Pixel tracks patrons of your Facebook page to your website and complies a list of the actions they take! Standard actions such as: making purchases, initiating contact, searching your website, or viewing a certain page on your site. It can also be set up to track more in-depth actions such as: which buttons were clicked, and the length the customer scrolled. This information allows Facebook to more effectively market your ads on their website.

What can you do with the Information Facebook’s Pixel Collects?

  1. Optimize your Ads
    1. Facebook uses the information obtain through the pixel to better optimize your Ads on its website. This means more effective use of your marketing funds! The pixel allows for better targeting of customers most likely to buy from your company.
  2. Create Better Audiences
    1. By using the pixel, you are able to keep track of those potential customers who visited your Facebook page, but might not have made a purchase. The pixel then links those visitors of your site to their personal Facebook account and shows them your business’s Facebook ads! This allows you to stay at the front of mind for those potential customers as they will continue to see ads for your business!
  3. Find New Customers
    1. The information the Pixel compiles on your best customers is able to be used to find new customers! By finding people who are similar to your current customers and have similar interests, you are able to create ads just for new audiences through the Facebooks Pixel. So, if your page’s Pixel identifies your best customers as Women between the ages of 45-55 who live in the Upstate of South Carolina, you can then focus your marketing efforts on people who match that description!
  4. Insight into your Customer’s Actions
    1. The pixel allows you to see how people progress through your website either to your Facebook or from your Facebook and what Ads draw the most attention to your other online presences. It even allows you to target customers based off of what pages of your website they looked at! Say for instance you sell small gifts, you can target a customer based off of which page of your items they looked at or even if they made it all the way to the Thank You page after purchasing an item.

Should you create a Facebook Pixel for your company?

The Facebook Pixel is a free tool to help you better use Facebook’s marketing abilities. If your company frequently uses Facebook to run ads as part of your marketing strategy, then the Pixel is definitely something to consider adding to your mix! But if your company does not regularly advertise through Facebook than setting up a Pixel will not be very beneficial.
