Because I made an oath to practice what I preach (and because we’ve been snowed in among the frozen DFW tundra the last few days), I decided to make good use of cabin fever time compiling a Genius House Media online analytics report. Measurement is an imperative part of content marketing that we provide to our clients, so why would we skip over this step as we market ourselves? Below are a few notes on how Genius House Media’s content performed in the past 28 days.

Paid posts received 90% higher reach (people who see the post) than organic.

Sentimental “giving thanks” (paid) post also dramatically increased engagement.

Likes also increased by 2% during days following promoted posts.

Conversational posts and timely responses increased engagement by 50%.

Audience is primarily online 12 pm – 8 pm Sun through Fri.

Action Plan:

—Boost/ Promote post min 1 per week

—Create targeted ad through Dec 20

—Always include photo or video along with copy
