  6. Primary goal is often
    audience size.
    • On Facebook:
    • Impressions are the number of times a post is displayed in a
    feed, regardless of engagement.
    • Reach is the number of people who received the impression.
    • WE ARE NOT IN DIRECT CONTROL OF THIS.
    • On Twitter, impressions are the number of times a tweet is
    served to a timeline or search result.

  7. How about engagement?
    • On Facebook, that’s a combination of likes/reactions, comments
    and shares. It’s a major factor in how many people Facebook’s
    algorithm shows your posts to.
    • On Twitter, engagement is the number of times a user interacted
    with a tweet (clicked a link or anywhere in the tweet, retweeted,
    replied, followed).

  8. Then, click thrus.
    • On Facebook, that’s clicks on a URL (no matter where it is in
    the post). Clicks (not just visible engagement) also help
    determine how Facebook’s algorithm values your content.
    • On Twitter, that’s clicks on a URL or Twitter card.
