How Do You Track Boosted Instagram Reels Data?

Okay video marketers, how are we getting macro views of how our boosted Instagram reels are performing? I’m finding that the video plays and engagement data I get for an Instagram Reel in Sprout does not account for ad center watches. For example, if I look at the last 6 months in Sprout, it shows only 2,869 video views on our Instagram. When I look natively on Instagram, I can see that one individual reel has 9,224 plays. (In “Insights” I can see that this individual reel has 9,224 plays and 5,852 Reach) Yes, this includes boosting of this video. So what I’m trying to figure out is, how to I look globally at my video campaigns and see how they’re doing and set benchmarks when I have to individually go into each video and note the data natively in IG, and usually from my phone?! Am I missing a better way to do this? Thank you!

Competitor Insights on LinkedIn Pages

Is anyone having any luck with gaining competitor insights on LinkedIn? They recently closed their API to third party social tools. I work at an agency and I’m wondering how you approach LinkedIn data during the audit phase.  I’d like to benchmark my client against other similar orgs.

How to Export LinkedIn Follower Data

Hello everyone!Does anyone know if there is a way to download my LinkedIn Company Page's followers into an Excel document that includes their names, company name, etc. Our BD/Sales team was looking to use this list for their activities and I want to be able to use this data to show our people that they should be posting to their own connections and not relying on the company posts to do all of the heavy lifting.I believe there was a way in Sales Navigator to download this data, but my company no longer is using Sales Navigator. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Best way to collect data on total Reels views since Sprout doesn't give that, it only gives first plays

My team is trying to figure out the best way to collect total Reels views for Instagram and Facebook for reports. Sprout only gives first plays which is not what my leaders want to see. For us the difference between first plays and total views (what the native app says) are literally millions. I was wondering if anyone has found a good tool for pulling this data outside of Meta Business Suite?

Link clicks declining?

Has anyone else noticed a drop in link clicks to external websites across Facebook and LinkedIn this year? Have you pivoted your strategy to keeping people on platform as opposed to driving to your website?

Has anyone experienced a drop in Facebook activity these past few months?

Has anyone experienced a drop in engagements and impressions these past few months? We went from seeing consistent impressions and engagements to a dramatic loss in the last few months with no real understanding as to why this might be. The same goes for Facebook followers, as we’ve been seeing a loss rather than growth in the same timespan.

Sprout Link Analytics

I’d love a graphical representation or just deeper report on sprout link in bio rather than only being apply to see link clicks through the post performance report and filter.

Possible to export a VIP list? Report on this feature?

We have set up some VIP lists based on follower counts and some accompanying auto-rules (e.g. auto-tag VIP, auto-assign case to our partnership person, auto-complete), curious if there is a way to export a VIP list so we could have a list of people we have added to this list? Also would be nice to be able to auto-add people to a VIP list based on follower count though from what I have been told this is not a possibility yet due to API limitations.

Social Listening Reports

How are people “presenting” their social listening findings/reports? I know Sprout gives you a few different options for exporting and you can take screen grabs but is anyone taking the social listening data and making it into a PPT or something? I would love details for inspiration!  I work at an ad agency and often times the way the social listening report presents itself isn’t enough. What are you doing to make it more into a report and/or present it to your client / others in the agency?

LinkedIn Advertising - not reaching full audience

Hey Arb community! Apologies in advance if there’s already a topic floating around for this, but I didn’t see one. I do frequent LinkedIn advertising for my company and I’ve noticed something interesting. Despite having large audience sizes, in some cases 85,000, my ads typically reach <10,000 LinkedIn users. For those that the ads do reach, it is shown to them an average of 7 times. Now, I would LOVE if my ads were reaching more people in my target audience. I would also love if I could somehow decrease the frequency that my ads are shown to each user.  So I guess I have a couple questions.1.) How can I reach more LinkedIn users in my target audience? Do I simply need to increase my budget?2.) Is there a way to put a cap on frequency? Any responses are greatly appreciated! I am still relatively new in my role. Thank you!

YOY Engagement Reporting - Is it possible?

Has anyone else had a team push for year over year comps when looking at engagements within organic social (IG specifically)? The biggest issue is YOY often looks down as the data continues to compound, so we can't get a true look of what last year at months end looked like compared to this year. With engagements becoming the top channel priority and having a push for not just MOM but YOY, I haven’t been able to find an accurate way to report that without making it appear as if the channel is down. Any ideas?

When impressions are up, engagement is down [and vice versa] ?

Hello fellow social media warriors. I’ve bene noticing a trend for the last several months when I pull my monthly metrics: when my impressions are up, my engagement is down; when my impressions are down, my engagement is up. I can COUNT on it. And this is for all networks, to included when I pull cross-network reports, too.  Anyone else? And….whhhhy? 😅

Personal Information Requests under CCPA & Other Laws

Hey all! Curious if anyone has experience with dealing with personal information requests from consumers in light of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other laws involving personal information? Particularly how it impacts information provided over social media? One of our clients is implementing a data request form and we’ll be tasked with checking to see what information consumers have provided across channels (social, email, website, etc.) There’s not a ton out there (that I can find) regarding what’s required when it comes to deleting personal information on social, so we’re not sure if someone requests that we delete their information, if that includes deleting past social comments, messages, etc. Just seeing if anyone else has any experience related to this!

Is Meta putting a penalty on the content I'm posting?

Hi everyone! I post consistently on all the major platforms with the main one being Instagram. Usually I can easily see 700K+ impressions each week with tons of engagements. The content is very audience driven and has been performing well up until recently.For the past two months it seems like all my posts and reels can’t get past the mid ten thousands for views and the engagements are very low.It feels like I did something wrong and Meta is capping my reach. Does anyone have any ideas?

Unexplained Changes in Facebook Gender & Cities Reached Analytics

Going over our Facebook demographics from the past year, I have discovered some confusing changes and trends. I’m curious to see if anyone else has seen similar things.  People Reached By Gender: After consistently having Women as our top reached gender (by a big majority) for years, it suddenly flipped to Men, and has stayed Men since July 2023.   Top Reached Cities: There is zero consistency in this list month-over-month. I believe that some of that might be attributed to targeted ad campaigns. However, in April 2023, New York, NY suddenly topped our list out of nowhere, and has been the no. 1 city each month since July 2023.  (We are a financial institution based in the Binghamton, NY market with locations in Reading, PA, Northern, NJ, and Central, NY) I attached our raw numbers for these two categories. I would appreciate any insight anyone may have.

Incorporating video views in overall reporting

Hi team, I’m looking for clarity on how / if video views are incorporated into other metrics. Our team does not specifically report on video views - only on impressions, engagements and engagement rate. I know that video views are separated out in Sprout Social reporting, so I just want to clarify if they are included in either impressions or engagements as well, or will I need to add the video views to those metrics?  I’m conscious that TikTok views are included in the impressions metric, are there any other channels that do this? I don’t want to accidentally double up on the data, so I’m looking for clarification and best way to report on video views given our team’s reporting needs. Any help would be appreciated!

Meta Pixel Won't Connect to Shopify

Hi friends! Unfortunately, I’m here with another “why does Facebook Business Manager hate us all” post :(Our web team has been trying to link our Facebook Ad Pixel to our Shopify site for a hot minute with no success. Despite having all page permissions on the Facebook account, we receive a “you don’t have the permissions for this” error message every time we attempt to link them. I have tried as the Facebook account owner, had the Shopify account owner try, and a few other team members who have access to both platforms but no one can make it work. Unfortunately, Facebook does not have a responsive support team and we’ve followed their online “help” guide to no avail. Any tips on how to link Facebook Pixels to Shopify would be greatly appreciated! Or if you have the secret on how to get FB on the phone, I’ll take that too. Thanks in advance!

Presenting Social Data Reports

I love reviewing all the data that comes with social media. However, I am spending way too much time building my monthly report that I share with management. I’ve been tweaking a powerpoint presentation for the past year that I enter all the data from SproutSocial into. Granted, I get way too into the weeds when it comes to making my reports look fancy (I’m a designer..what do you expect?) but I am curious what others are doing to present all this great data in a “pretty” way.
