Facebook Page metrics
Facebook Page metrics help you figure out how your Page is doing. This article goes over the Facebook Page metrics available in Analytics. Use CTRL+F (CMD +F on Mac) to search content in this article.
Facebook imposes the following restrictions on retrieving metrics:
- Most Facebook metrics come from Facebook Insights, which are only updated once a day.
- Facebook Pages require at least 30 likes before Facebook can return any analytics for them.
As of November 10, 2021, Hootsuite can show Facebook Page post-level and Page-level metrics for the last 31 days.
