Twitter is a platform where you can share 140 characters-long information. It is convenient for users as you can find tweets based on the tags you add to them. However, as a company, the most important thing you should learn is how Twitter metrics work. 

Twitter metrics is a powerful tool that helps you measure your profile’s performance. If you know how it works, you will be able to analyse it better. That means you will plan better strategies and marketing campaigns in the future. 

This tool can help you with getting to know your audience better as well. If you run a business, it is crucial to know your customer’s needs. That is why you should pay attention to your audience on the platform such as Twitter. 

Most important Twitter metrics 

Let’s see which insights you should focus on. 

1. Tweet impressions

Tweet impressions is one of the Twitter metrics that show you how many people see your Tweets every day. 

Even though this rate might be high, the others still can below. If the “Tweet impressions” is high, but the number of “engagements” is low, it can mean that you are not creating the right content for your audience. It means that people who see your Tweets are not very interested in them – they do not do any actions on them. In addition to that, Twitter adds an impression to the overall number every time someone has your Tweet delivered to their stream. Unfortunately, it does not mean that someone is reading your Tweet. It appears there, but can be skipped like many others.

If you keep on checking it daily, you can see which tweet caused the raise in your followers’ number. In this way, you will be able to say what content is the most attractive one.
