Monitoring these at a granular level can reveal which formats and topics generate the most interaction, informing future creative and channel mix decisions.

Beyond engagement, it’s crucial to evaluate website traffic, click-through rates, conversion rates, and lead acquisition from social channels. These metrics give you direct insight into how well your campaigns are driving users towards desired actions, such as signing up, downloading, or purchasing. If your campaigns are attracting clicks but not converting, this points to potential friction on landing pages or misalignment between ad content and user expectations.
