What it does

Pull and aggregate post-level metrics across social platforms

Best for

Social media teams who need weekly measurement before generating performance reports or adjusting content strategy.

Inputs
  • · Platform analytics access (native or third-party)
  • · List of posts for tracking period
  • · Historical baselines (for anomaly detection)
Outputs
  • · Running database: post ID, platform, date, format, pillar, hook type, metrics
  • · Derived metrics: ER%, follower growth rate, CTR
  • · Weekly Snapshot table (Platform, Avg Impressions, Avg ER%, Best/Worst Post, Follower Change)
  • · Anomaly Flags (overperformers, underperformers with hypothesis)
  • · Running Benchmarks (30-day Avg ER%, Best Format, Best Day/Time)
Requires
  • · Platform analytics APIs (X, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok native or third-party connector)
Preconditions
  • · Analytics access granted for all platforms
  • · Posts have 6+ hours of visibility before metrics are pulled
  • · Historical baseline exists (trailing 30 days minimum)
Failure modes
  • · Pulls metrics too early (post < 6 hours old unreliable)
  • · Tracks only impressions without engagement (vanity metric trap)
  • · Compares ER across platforms directly (X ER ≠ LinkedIn ER ≠ Instagram ER)
  • · Ignores saves/bookmarks (strongest signal of value density)
  • · Ignores video retention (key video quality metric)
  • · Anomaly detection threshold (2x above baseline) may miss subtle shifts
Trust signals
  • · Metric selection justified (why each metric matters for understanding funnel)
  • · Explicit anomaly detection thresholds (2x above baseline, 50% below baseline)
  • · Distinguishes signal types (impressions = reach, ER = quality, CTR = action)
  • · Verification checklist: 'Can you answer what was our best post and why?' and 'Are we growing faster or slower than last month?'
