Analyze popular post types and campaigns

Discover which types of posts and campaigns performed best on social media by filtering your data in Analytics. You can filter reports and specific metric tiles by post type, tag, and campaign.

Find your most popular types of posts

Learn which types of posts your audience interacts with the most by sorting your reports and metric tiles by post type. This helps you understand what works and what to publish more of to keep your audience engaged.

You can only filter post-level metrics by post type for the following social networks: Facebook, Instagram Business, LinkedIn Pages, and LinkedIn profiles.

See how your campaigns performed

Associate posts with campaigns to track the performance of your campaigns on social media. Associating posts with campaigns populates attributes (for example, predefined tags) for each post. You can then create and filter Analytics reports or specific metrics by tag and campaign. Learn how to manage tags.

Note that you can only filter post-level metrics by tag or campaign. Post-level metrics begin with 'Post' in their name, like 'Post likes' or 'Posts table'.
