  • Friends of Friends – This is everyone you have the potential to influence. The extended network is often hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. All other metrics are a fraction of this number –less than 1%
  • Impressions –This is the total number times people saw anything from your page in the news feed or ticker.
  • Reach –The number of people who received impressions. It’s likely your content was seen by people more than once, so this number is smaller than total impressions.
For more knowledge: Using Facebook as a marketing tool
  • Post Impressions –This counts how many times your post was seen in a news feed or ticker. Regular impressions record all activity. This metric is limited to, post from you.
  • Post Reach –just like reach is the number of people who received impressions, post reaches tell you how many people your posts reached.
  • Engaged Users –Engaged users is the number of people who clicked on one of your posts.
  • Talking about this –People talking about this are people who created a news feed story from your content by liking, commenting or sharing. When their friends view these stories in Newsfeeds and tickers, impressions and reach grow.
  • New Likes –New likes count as people talking about this because liking creates a story. Of the HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS of people you have the potential to reach, this is the SMALL FRACTION that acted.
  • Other Metrics
    • Logged-In Page views –This is the number of people who viewed your timeline while logged into Facebook. Since the majority of views come from logged-in users, this is a pretty good indication of everyone who came to your page.
    • Consumption/Consumers –When you post any media (link, photo, or video) it is “consumed” when a user clicks to view. The number of consumers is the total number of people who create consumptions.
