Beyond the Overview: Videos

Videos are becoming importantly more valuable in gaining user engagement on Facebook. In today's analytics we look at the video aspects of our Facebook pages. If you have not posted any videos to Facebook this set of analytics will be some of the least valuable to you. For a video to count it must be watched for a minimum of 3 seconds.

Choosing Your Data

Facebook Insights - Set the date

Unlike the overview where you only see a specific date range now that you have the ability to dig into the data you can set your date range of what you want to look at. This allows you to go back and look at trends and analysis over specific periods. For example, we will routinely look at the same period in the last year or even the entire last year for the information that we are seeking.

Video Views

Facebook Insights - Post Reach

No matter the length of your videos this is a culmination of all of them summed up in one simple entry graph. For a video to "count" as being viewed it must be viewed for more than 3 seconds.

30-Second Views

Facebook Insights - Post Reach

This is the number of times your Facebook Business Page's videos were viewed for 30 seconds or more for your selected date range above. If a video is less than 30 seconds in total length, this counts when people view 97 percent or more of the video.

Top Videos

Facebook Insights - Post Reach

This is a summary of the top videos for the date range happened. For a video to count it must be watched for a minimum of 3 seconds.

Available Service Flyers

Our philosophy has always been honesty (this is our rule #1) and transparency in our services. There's no reason to hide costs unless you have something to hide. We've found that those who hide fees charge more successful businesses more money because they can. We do not feel this is the way America was meant to be. We believe in offering a fair price to everyone for the work that is done.

We also believe that once you sign on with us, you trust us, and as our thank you to you, we "price lock" our services for the plan(s) you signed up for at that time. This means while you are on those services, the price will always be the same. As business owners, we appreciate this as it allows us to budget our business expenses better.
