Social that Adds Up

Find something you can measure (micro or macro-conversions) and sprint in that direction. Focus on how separate channels can drive different types of site actions, which can be tied to a value you determine.

Measure success criteria directionally. Benchmarks are uncommon and do not necessarily translate across products, services or industries.

Create your social posts with a measurement goal in mind. Be sure to include a call to action to inspire your audience to act.

Understand and connect with your audience differently across the different networks. Try not to post the same thing on each platform, customize and use what works best.
