About your overall score
We evaluate your content's effectiveness using key metrics, such as impressions, engagements, shares, comments, and more. These metrics are weighted to give you your score. A higher score reflects a more effective content strategy.
Your score includes data from all posts you published to your connected account over the previous week - regardless of whether they were published from Hootsuite. Your score is updated weekly on Sundays, at midnight CST. Your score will also update when you connect or disconnect a social account from Hootsuite (it may take a minute).
