Viewers

Seeing growth in Viewers is a win-win. It means that your content is performing well, and that it's getting shown more frequently to more people. You can analyze the demographics of your account’s audience, so you can understand who you're reaching.

Content reach

For a closer look, check out your reach by content type. It breaks down how your content is performing with followers and non-followers, and it shows you what type of content is most successful at getting you discovered by new people.

Metrics worth paying attention to

  • Shares indicate how valuable or relatable your content is, and amplify your reach to new audiences.
  • Comments tell you if your content is resonating and sparking conversations.
  • Follows show you're reaching new audiences who love your content and want to see more like it. You can even track follows that come from posts and reels.
