Facebook statistics of any account – best free ways to view stats

Evaluating the work on Facebook, we often pay attention to the number of page subscribers and the number of likes of the posts. However, it is necessary to focus not only on these external parameters, but you should seriously study the Facebook statistics. This will help to determine which posts and at what time were most relevant. Also, Facebook page statistics will point to a number of other indicators that will help you to promote with maximum impact.

There are lots of ways to make your analysis, but I’d want you to follow by best experience and to use Popsters application that analyze the Facebook pages (and do that for another 9 social networks as well), help to compare it with competitors and give you the most capacious information for improving interactions with subscribers.

How to view Facebook statistics

The most suitable and convenient tools among the others (with their functional and cost) are:

• popsters.com (allows you to analyze any Fb pages);
• Facebook Insights.

https://popsters.com is very convenient and intuitive. It is too long to enumerate all things that this tool is able to do.

Therefore, I will describe in brief.

It is useful if you want:

• to see the most popular publications of different accounts and groups (for the selected period);
• to sort posts by likes, reposts, comments, ER;
• to sort by content of the publications – photo, video, text, animation (to learn the most popular ones and among others);
• to compare indicators of several groups in graphical form at the same time;
• to make a global search for the best posts on Facebook by phrase, hashtag or word (with sorting and filtering);
• to add favorite publications to Favorites, creating various lists;
• to look at numerical indicators of groups for the selected period (real number of subscribers, average ER of post / group per day, number of comments, etc.);
• to study the textual materials in groups with the help of Text referring;

Another way of Facebook account analysis – Facebook Insights

Sure this tool is not the only one instrument for Facebook account analysis. The Facebook team implemented its own Reporting pages. It is called Insights. But not so many people think it is so convenient.

Despite the striking differences between the tools of the FB and Popsters, the main argument in favor of Popsters is that Facebook Insights allows you to analyze only your own pages. At the same time, Popsters works with any pages that you specify.

Anyway! We have to take into the fact that Facebook launched updated account statistics in June.

The first thing that catches your eye is, of course, how the new analyst looks. Facebook has done a good job of visuality, and now the old Facebook account stats seems to be completely outdated. By the way, if there were only 10 kinds of graphs in the old version of the statistics, then in the new version there are already 18. There will be something to analyze!

So. You can find it in the top menu in you Page.

Facebook offers such sections for review and analysis:

• Overview;
• Promotions;
• Followers;
• Likes;
• Reach;
• Page views;
• Actions on Page;
