A social media report is a document that summarizes the performance and effectiveness of a company's social media marketing efforts. It contains everything from account data and analytics to recommendations and ideas for the future.
While most social media reports will largely be dependent on the organization making the request, many will feature similar primary elements.
Here are some of those key elements to include in your social media report;
Executive summary: A brief overview of the main findings and takeaways from the report.
Objectives and goals: A description of the goals and objectives that the social media marketing efforts were intended to achieve.
Key metrics: A summary of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as reach, engagement, and conversions, along with any relevant benchmark data.
Platform performance: A breakdown of the performance of each social media platform, including metrics such as the number of followers, engagement rates, and traffic referrals.
Content analysis: An analysis of the types of content that performed best, including information on the formats, themes, and topics that generated the most engagement.
Audience demographics: Demographic data on the audience reached through the social media marketing efforts, including information on gender, age, location, and interests.
Insights and recommendations: Analysis of the data collected, along with recommendations for future social media marketing efforts.
Appendices: Any additional data or supporting materials that were used to create the report, such as detailed graphs and charts.
As we mentioned previously, most reports will vary widely based on your objectives and organizational KPIs, but including the eight elements above is a great place to start.
