List Of Post Metrics
Post metrics measure how well your post performs on social media. These insights help you understand the overall impact of your post to refine your content strategy for better results.
The reporting period for all metrics except Post Count & Post Views is Lifetime. Learn more about Lifetime vs Reporting period for post vs profile metrics.
Post metrics are separate from page-level Engagement and Impressions metrics. Only Post metrics can be used in post-level widgets. Mixing the two categories will trigger a "This dimension is not compatible" error in the widget editor.
