How to understand general statistics on your account
These statistics allow us to analyze things such as our content, activity, visits to our profiles and user interactions with our account. You can analyze two very important things through them: reach and impressions..
Reach is related to the approximate number of unique visitors who have seen your posts, while impressions are the number of times the post made an impression on new or duplicate users, that is, the total number of times your posts were viewed.
One important thing about this tool is that you can analyze how your audience has been growing or decreasing in the last 7 days, the main places where your audience is located, their gender and the range of days and hours that your content functions best and also the number of followers you have gained or lost.
How to analyze statistics of your stories
When you swipe up a story on Instagram, you can analyze its results as a publication up to 14 days after uploading it.
As you can see, you can analyze things like how many times your story has been shared, how many people have responded to it, and how many people have decided to visit your profile from your story.
In addition, you will be able to see elements such as total impressions, new followers, how many people stayed watching your content, the number of times the story has been clicked on to go back or forward, and how many people have left your story without viewing all the content.
How to understand statistics of your publications
This statistic allows you to know how your publications behave via interactions with your content through likes, comments, sharing and saving. Through your publications you will be able to know which are the best days and the best hours to post content on Instagram.
