Do you know what Twitter Analytics is and how this platform works? The analytical tools of this social network are crucial for understanding not only who your target audience is, but also for helping them and offering them what they need at all times.
And it is that, in terms of platforms for extracting valuable data to interpret and apply in your Social Media plan, we can find hundreds. However, we can always be much more certain of this information’s veracity using its native tool, as it is an intrinsic part of the social network itself.
Precisely for that reason, I have decided to offer you this complete guide to Twitter Analytics, with which you will be able to get to know it in depth with all its options, interpret the metrics of your professional account, and draw conclusions about the effectiveness of your strategy. But first, what do you think about starting with its definition?
What is Twitter Analytics?
Twitter Analytics is the native analytics and statistics tool offered by this social network, with which we can see in detail the reach, engagement, and activity of our tweets and our profile or account in general.
What is Twitter Analytics used for, and what data does it provide us with?
We could say that this tool is equivalent to Facebook Insights, which we have already discussed in a previous article, but created by Twitter to extract all the data from our profiles on its platform.
Anyone who already has a new Twitter account knows that if you want more consistent and natural growth, you must understand the data and statistics of your publications.
And what better way to do it than by learning how this analysis tool works and how to interpret the data it provides us with?
Because, as we have already said, doing an analysis of all your activity correctly will help you, at the same time, to get the greatest possible return on each of your tweets.
For this reason, in this guide, I am going to do a broad review of something that will be very useful for you to know if your activity and interaction in this medium are profitable, or, on the contrary, you need to change your strategy or Digital Marketing Plan, at least those points related to your activity on Twitter.
How does this Twitter Analytics platform work?
Once I have reviewed what exactly the Twitter “Analytics” platform is and its usefulness, I invite you to learn, step by step, how this tool works and what data and statistics we can analyze with it:
Accessing the platform
The first step to take is, naturally, the entry point for this option.
To do this, all you have to do is go to your profile and click on ” More Options ” in the lower left corner.
Once this is done, a dropdown will open.
You must enter where it says “Analytics” and a new tab will open with the statistics of your account or, what is the same, a page whose URL will be of this type: https://analytics.twitter.com/user/JFDigitalES/ home, being ” JFDigitalES ” in this case the name of your account.
If this is your first time accessing Twitter Analytics, you will probably be shown a welcome page. Once you are there, just click “Activate Statistics”.
Discover the structure of the statistics platform
Don’t be scared if the first thing you see is a tangle of numbers and statistics occupying your screen. Later, I will try to explain each of them in the simplest way possible so that you do not get lost and know how to interpret everything that Twitter Analytics offers you.
As you will see, here are some sections from which we can draw valuable conclusions about our evolution, activity, and interaction on this social network.
These sections are:
- Start
- Tweets
- More (Videos, App Manager, and Conversion Tracking)
Twitter Analytics guide in Spanish, step by step
Home
At the top, and occupying the entire width of our screen, Twitter Analytics offers a summary of the most general information about our activity over the last 28 days.
Please note that this summary of the last 28 days is a comparison that includes changes compared to the previous period.
- How could it be otherwise? The first piece of information we find is the number of tweets published in this period. Immediately next to this number of tweets, we can see, in terms of percentages, the variation with respect to the same previous period
- Following the same pattern, this section shows other data, such as the number of impressions your tweets have had in this period and their growth or decrease compared to the previous period.
- In addition, visits to your profile are seen
- The mentions you have received
- The number of Twitter followers you have gained
Regarding the figures next to each main value, please note that they are shown in green or red depending on whether the number of publications has increased or decreased.
Right at the bottom, we can check for any outstanding data (for the current month and previous months).
Highlights on Home:
- main tweet
- main mention
- main follower
- Tweet with main media content
- Monthly summary
With this, we can get an idea of the impact of each of our publications (or those of other users we were mentioned in) during a specific monthly period.
In this particular case, you may also find that, lately, within your activity, the platform considers nothing relevant. Or also, that if you observe these statistics on the first day of the month, it informs you that you have not yet tweeted this month, as indicated in the screenshot above.
With all this data, we will be able to compare at a stroke the success of our publications and our activity on Twitter over the last few months.
View Tweet activity
From the same home page and in the Tweet activity tab, you can see the statistics on all the specific activities of a specific tweet.
What statistics can you see from that tweet?
- Impressions
- total interactions
- Interactions with media content
- Open the detail
- I like
- Profile Clicks
- Retweets
- Answers
- Label Clicks
Tweets
This part of the analytics of the social network is one of the sections that I particularly like the most, since thanks to it you can get an idea of the impact that your activity has had and the growth that you could have by publishing one or another type of post..
In this case, using a vertical bar chart, we can determine the organic impressions we have had based on the number of tweets we have published during the period under analysis.
In this way, we can draw conclusions about the types of publications to create (with or without an image, with more or fewer hashtags, of greater or lesser length, etc.) and thus assess the potential to achieve the greatest possible impact and growth with the fewest daily tweets.
We can present these statistics as bar charts for all tweets, featured tweets, and promoted tweets.
In turn, you can transfer all this information to an Excel file (something ideal if you are a lover of mathematics and feel more comfortable working in this program).
Despite the advantage of being able to export and download information about activity on Twitter, I think it’s much more visual and intuitive to see it directly on the platform.
It may be that, as a Community Manager, you are managing a client’s account and need to generate these statistics for a report. If so, this last option will surely be very useful for you.
On the other hand, you can also click the tweets you have below to see a pop-up screen with all the specific statistics for that publication (the same as in point number 2).
Interactions
You can find this section right on the right sidebar of the “Tweets” section.
Here, despite the fact that seeing everything together can be somewhat diffuse.
You can view the following metrics:
- interaction rate
- Link Clicks
- Retweets without comments
- I like
- Answers
Through all of them, you will be able to get a slight idea of what type of interactions you should give “a push”, so that engagement with your community is increased and you achieve your professional goals, such as getting greater visibility of your content and even qualified Web traffic.
More (videos, apps, and conversion tracking)
In this section, we find a whole series of very interesting extra features of Twitter related to its statistics.
By clicking and deploying “More,” we can find the following options:
Videos
If there have been video posts in the last 28 days, you will see statistics on how many times they have been played.
Manage Apps
If you work for a company dedicated to mobile applications and want to promote them on Twitter, this option lets you manage your statistics.
Conversion tracking
You can indicate in this subsection some special metrics for events or publications that may interest you.
It is possible, for example, that you are testing a new growth method on this social network or one of the posts on your blog, and you want to know the specific evolution it is having, in order to draw your own conclusions.
In the same way, if you have a corporate event and want to check the success of the publications related to it, you can also see it from this section.
If your case is the same as mine (as you see in the image) and you do not have any configured, you will see the upper screen. You only have to place the code that Twitter provides you on your website and see its statistical evolution.
In other words, it works similarly to the Facebook pixel.
Conclusions
I hope this guide on Twitter Analytics has helped you get closer to the goal you have set for yourself in relation to your strategy.
If you are on this social network, especially if you are in the digital marketing business, you will surely be interested in achieving exponential growth to boost your Personal Brand.
Both in this professional sector and in all the actions we carry out, we must establish periodic metrics and statistics to draw conclusions about what we are doing well and what we are doing wrong, and thus correct what is necessary.
