Why use this board

  • Aggregated by: Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year.

  • Color picker (Profile 1 or 2): Assign each profile a color in the toolbar so you can spot which profile drives each metric in KPIs, breakdowns, and trends. Choose from a list of 16 colors.

Impressions engagement rate per media type

What it measures: The distribution of impressions engagement rates, segregated by media type (e.g. image, video, link, etc.) and profile. Impressions engagement rate refers to the percentage of users who engaged with a post that was published by selected profiles during the selected date range, divided by the number of content impressions. Shown as a ranked horizontal bar chart — longer bars mean higher values; use it to compare many categories at once.
