How IMPACTfox Calculates Your Social Media Impact Score
If you’re looking to improve your social media presence, IMPACTfox can help you understand how your business is doing on Facebook and Instagram. By calculating an Impact Score, Interest Level Rank, Activity Rank, and Followers Rank, IMPACTfox provides valuable insights into your social media strategy.
Three Components of the Impact Score
IMPACTfox silently watches your Facebook and Instagram posts each week, looking at three components of the Impact Score:
- How many posts your business posted
- How many people interacted with the post in the form of a like, comment, or share
- The number of fans your profile has reached each week
Comparing Your Scores to Similar Businesses
These three components are then compared to the same components across many similar businesses, from dozens to multiple hundreds, depending on your industry niche. Comparison is done by calculating the percentile rankings of each of the three components, providing a rank from 1 to 100 for each. Using percentiles allows you to see where a given component value ranks in comparison to others when wide differences are present in fan counts, number of posts, or number of likes/comments/shares.
Understanding the Percentile Rankings
For example, an output value of 75 for the number of posts means that your business has put out more posts in the two-week period than 75 percent of the similar businesses. Conversely, 25 percent of similar businesses have published more posts than your business. Similarly, if the number of likes/comments/shares generates an output value of 30, it means that 70 percent of similar businesses are getting more reactions to their posts, or had posts that were more interesting to their followers.
The Process for Facebook and Instagram
The above process runs twice: once for Facebook and once for Instagram. Subscribers to the Basic Plan will see their Impact Scores and component rankings for Facebook and Instagram. Subscribers to the Competition Plan will see their own scores and rankings, plus the Facebook and Instagram Impact Scores of a chosen competitor in the same niche.
