Every other week, I check my Facebook analytics to see how my content is doing. This month’s review gave me some clear takeaways about what’s working and what needs improvement.
The first thing I noticed was that more people were liking, commenting, and sharing my posts—even though fewer people were seeing them overall. This shows that Facebook’s algorithm is favoring posts that get real interaction, not just lots of views. It reminded me that it’s better to create posts that start a conversation than to just post often.
One big success this month was video. Short videos, especially those under a minute, got much more engagement than photos or links. People are clearly interested in quick, visual content that’s easy to watch and share. I plan to make more of these moving forward.
I also saw a shift in my audience. Most of my followers used to be between 35 and 44, but now more of them are in the 25 to 34 age range. This younger group may want different kinds of content, and I’ll need to adjust my posts to better connect with them—possibly by changing when and how I post.
One challenge I noticed was a drop in clicks to my website. Even though people were engaging with posts on Facebook, fewer were clicking through to read more or shop. This tells me I need to make my content more useful and complete right inside Facebook, instead of always trying to send people elsewhere.
Instagram showed some of the same trends. Posts with interactive features like polls and slideshows (carousels) got more attention. When I invited people to participate, they responded. It confirmed that people don’t just want to see content—they want to be part of it.
All of this showed me that analytics are more than just numbers. They help me understand what my audience likes and how I can improve. I’ll be focusing more on videos, using interactive features, and making content that works well within each platform. I’ll also adjust my strategy to better match what younger users seem to enjoy.
In a fast-changing digital world, looking at analytics regularly helps me stay on track. The data is there to guide us—we just have to use it.
