What started as a means to catch up with friends back in ’04 has swept the world with its phenomenal success.
Today, Facebook plays host to over 60 million business pages on its site. Brands all over the world vie for their customers’ attention to their Facebook page. Marketers hustle to push out engaging content every day to skyrocket their engagement levels.
To help you rise above all the clutter and noise around contests, offers, and other brands’ advertisements, don’t you think you need some allies by your side? 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.

2. Sociograph
Here’s a tool to help you get started with Facebook analytics if you have a tight budget because this tool is FREE of cost. Sociograph provides important insights that allow you to get a deeper understanding of your community and content. 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.
This is a pretty sweet deal for a tool that doesn’t cost you a penny instead, makes you richer with valuable data.
3. Social Status
Here’s why you’ll love Social Status: For starters, you get a wealth of data to improve your Facebook performance like insights on the optimal time, days, frequency and type of media to post. In addition to that, you can also add your Facebook Ads account to track your paid social performance.
Keep a close eye on your competitors and industry leaders on the type of content and campaigns they roll out using the tool’s Competitor Analysis feature. To top it off, the app comes with a feature to track your Influencer marketing efforts using their Influencer Analysis product.

Wiselytics is yet another great tool in the market that offers a wealth of data on social media analytics. The tool has both free and paid plans. Some of its top line features include competitor analysis, key engagement metrics, insights on top performing posts, and access to data history.
