By allies, I mean these really cool analytics tools that will help you understand your Facebook performance and get real-time metrics to help you reach your target audience.

Read on to discover what these tools have to offer to help you get better on Facebook.

1.  Unmetric

We might be biased here, but it’s our blog so we’ll put Unmetric at the top. 🙂

Unmetric is an AI-powered, brand-focused social media intelligence platform that helps companies gather reliable social media data to perform better on social.

This means creating more engaging content, getting more certainty around your social strategy, and automating those tedious tasks like reporting.

There’s a host of features that will help you analyze your brand’s social media performance on Facebook and make better marketing decisions.

• Dissect which type of your posts on Facebook garner more engagement and at what time.
• Detect promoted posts of your competitors to uncover their paid social strategy.
• Benchmark your Facebook performance with competitors from the same industry.
• Get campaign intelligence to analyze various campaigns run by your competitors.
• Get a complete overview of your user posts on Facebook to see what your consumers have to say about your brand.

But here’s my personal favorite feature:

Unmetric’s newest functionality now provides in-depth visual intelligence and analytics to help marketers decide which images engage best for their brand.

The color and object analysis will help you discover content ideas by searching for branded social content based on dominant colors and/or objects used within images and analyze their performance. You can filter the results further based on industry and geography.

The tool has a really cool feature that displays the words used in your posts that garnered the most engagement in the form of a Word Cloud, to help you fine-tune your content strategy.

The tool also allows you to set alerts for a particular keyword or phrase to notify you every time it is used on the web. Now, how cool is that?

Here’s an interesting use case video on how the Red Socks Company created a hit campaign by researching what other brands did around Lost Sock Day using Unmetric.

Using their activity graph you can get an overview of your page’s overall activity for a custom time range.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The tool furnishes a report on your community members with valuable data on who your most active commentators are. The ranking of the commentators is based on their total likes, shares, and comments on your posts.
