Last Updated:6 years ago By Debra Garber Time to Read: 1 minute

Data analysis – love it or hate it? When it comes to producing social media content, at some point, you have to ask yourself, “Is it working?”

The real question is, does your ROI prove your marketing time is well spent? I can see your eyes rolling…maybe this visual will help:

Does ROI (Return on Investment) equal Time Well Spent?

The good news: We have access to more data than ever today.

The bad news: This data can be overwhelming.

There is no metric that, used alone, can determine whether or not your social media efforts are successful.

Curata’s recently published Comprehensive Guide to Content Marketing Analytics & Metrics provides a detailed guide to proving the effectiveness of content marketing strategies through various metrics.

Thankfully, for those of us short on time, they summarized 29 of the best metrics by marketing channel (social media, email, website, blog, etc.) and grouped these by type of metric (engagement, retention, consumption, etc.).

Here’s a snapshot of a few of the key categories and elements you should be examining:

Consumption Metrics:

  • How many are consuming your content?
  • Which channels are they using?
  • How frequently and how in-depth is their consumption?

Consumption Metrics: What is the number of people who are consuming your content?
