Social Performance Metrics Skill
When to Use
-
Setting KPI targets for new campaigns or evergreen programs.
-
Building dashboards or scorecards for exec/stakeholder updates.
-
Diagnosing pacing, reach, or conversion issues mid-flight.
Framework
-
Metric Stack – map awareness (reach, impressions), engagement (ER, saves, shares), conversion (traffic, pipeline), and community health (sentiment, response time).
-
Attribution & Tagging – enforce UTM structure, post IDs, and partner tags for downstream analysis.
-
Alerting Rules – define thresholds (± variance vs goal), alert channels, and severity tiers.
-
Reporting Cadence – daily pacing snapshots, weekly recaps, campaign retros, quarterly trendlines.
-
Experiment Measurement – document test KPIs, guardrails, and success decision trees.
Templates
-
KPI scorecard (metric → target → actual → variance → owner → notes).
-
Alert playbook (trigger condition → notification → response steps).
-
Retro template summarizing learnings, insights, and backlog actions.
Tips
-
Normalize metrics per channel and audience to avoid false comparisons.
-
Pair with analytics warehouse data for revenue-attribution context.
-
Keep metadata consistent (pillar, campaign, creative ID) so insights are reusable.
