Facebook Insights ~ HootSuite Adds New Ways to Analyze Social Media Efforts
Marketing professionals are always seeking more ways to know what’s working with their campaigns and initiatives. Now with Facebook Insights added to HootSuite, you can quickly see the interaction on your Pages from within your social media dashboard.
New Ways to Analyze
HootSuite’s Facebook Insights integration allows you to monitor all your Facebook Pages from one dashboard. This is especially handy for members of your HootSuite team who are not admins of your Facebook Pages.
HootSuite integrates Facebook Insights into the social media dashboard
You’ll see charts displaying:
- New fans to your Page
- Demographics including: region, age, gender
- Amount of Page comments
- Number of “likes”
- New discussions
- Number of new wall posts
You’ll also see historical comparisons to see which way your pages are trending. And, like other stats in HootSuite, you can create a printable report to share with your colleagues, clients and executives.

Clicks – First came Ow.ly click-through statistics with breakdowns by message, date range, region, and referrer – plus exportable reports in PDF or CSV.

Great update. Well done.
This is brilliant. I’m looking forward to logging into my Hootsuite and playing around with the new stats. It’s also great that I can export the data in excel for even more in-depth analysis. High fives!
Hi,
I’ve connected with Facebook, my Insights tab is showing but there are no insights. Is there a delay between activating and stats displaying?
Thanks.
Working now. Lovely.
hey martin how did you get it to work for you ? I’m still having trouble seeing my Facebook page insights. Do the stats not show in real time or does it require you to post messages through hootsuite to see the stats ?
Hi Dan, you need to set it up by logging in via a browser (I use Hootsuite on my mac as a Fluid app and couldn’t set it up).
Once you’ve connected it all and gone through the Facebook permissions bit it should all work. Your posts don’t need to go via Hootsuite as Hootsuite pulls the analytics from Facebook directly as far as I can tell.
The stats are also not realtime, they are the same as Facebook which is about 48 hours behind.
What a great and useful feature! Thanks HootSuite!
Do you have to post Facebook messages through Hootsuite to see Hootsuite’s analytics? Does it show you Facebook analytics even if you don’t post through Hootsuite?
You don”t need to post through Hootsuite, Hootsuite pulls the analytics straight from Facebook.
This is very impressive. Hootsuite is becoming an indispensable tool.
This feature is great and very useful! Thanks so much HootSuite!

Greet idea. We thought about Hootsuite last week, a new good argument.

Hi,
I am interested to know how the hootsuite populating Facebook user’s statistic, because Facebook API is not providing any statistic related data so how hootuite get that data. Mean what is reliability of that statistic.
Let say they are showing data from where user become member in hootsuite? or they are showing data from user’s account’s full life. let say user crated Facebook since 2 years back and attach that account in hootsuite 1 weeks ago so hootsuite is showing data for 2 years or only for 1 week.
Also about like and unlike statistic if user add like 15 time the 5th week and then after two week user unlike 3 of the like post, so while user view report in current date then 5th week showing 15 like (original one) or it showing 13 like?
This are things are very important me to know before become premium member.
Thanks,
Amit
Hi Amit,
For the assistance with this please contact the Help Desk. The support rangers are best suited to helping you out with this.
Quick question – Do Hootsuite analytics only measure posts that are created directly in Hootsuite? Or, does it measure Facebook analytics as a whole, full page? Response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi Margo,
HootSuite Analytics differ by module. Facebook insights are pulled from the Facebook page, and take all posts made natively and through HootSuite into account.
Twitter modules, such as click stats, will rely on sending through the dashboard.
I hope this helpful!
