This will show you the actions on your page, your page views, your page previews, your page likes, your post reach, your post engagement, your page responsiveness, your video views, your page followers and your orders.In most cases, post reach is a vanity metric as you could be reaching thousands of people but none of them may be engaging with your post. Instead, consider what your engagement is as a percentage of your overall reach.Facebook Insights can also give you an idea of what posts perform the best, giving you an insight into what kind of content you should be publishing regularly.In the top right-hand corner of Twitter, you will see an option to view your Twitter Analytics.
