So, what are Twitter metrics? Which ones need to be tracked?
All analytics are data points. Analyzing these data points correctly will help you determine useful information for your overall marketing strategy. For example, metrics can help you determine the best times to post, popular content, and other key performance indicators (KPIs) that can streamline your strategy.
Here are the most important Twitter metrics to track:
New Followers
New followers measure the number of new followers you have received within a certain time. Gaining new followers shows that your profile is getting traction and users find it interesting enough to follow regularly. Conversely, if you are losing followers, it might be a sign that you need to change your content.
Top Tweet
Your top tweet shows you which tweet performed the best. It is important to keep track of popular posts so you can curate your future content to be in line with highest performers. Additionally, your top tweet might be a good option to for an ad.
Impressions
Impressions are the number of times the tweet has appeared on a timeline. They show how far the tweet has gone across multiple feeds and give insight on what content your followers enjoy seeing from you. They can be tracked at the tweet level or the overall profile level.
Link Clicks
Link clicks measure the number of times users clicked a link inside your tweet. This is important because it provides insight on whether your call to action was compelling enough for users to click on your link.
