A quick guide to using the Sociality.io Competitor Analysis moduleĀ
To learn how to connect competitors’ profiles, please read this guide first: How to add a competitor?
The Sociality.io Competitor Analysis module gathers only publicly available data and supports Facebook, Instagram Business, Twitter, and YouTube. Thus, the performance metrics vary depending on the platform.Ā
Historical data
When your competitor page was added to our pool for the first time, the system begins to track the metrics from the time pages are added. Especially for the number of followers of the pages, the system saves the number of followers from the day pages was added. Unfortunately, the social channelsā APIs do not provide historical data about the followers of the page.Ā
On the other hand, for the other metrics (e.g., posts, engagement, likes, comments, etc.) when the page is added once the system saves the most recent 100 posts of the page you can see these metrics historically. For this reason, for a more detailed date range, some metrics (e.g., number of followers or follower growth) will not be available for historical reports.Ā
How to create a competitor analysis report
The process of creating a competitor analysis report is straightforward:
