The main indicators used to analyze posts of earned media in your Radarly projects are:
Impressions
Portée estimée
Virality
Engagement actions
Impression and Estimated Reach are relevant to compare the share of voice between different platforms and different periods of time. Although the absolute value of the indicators is interesting, it is the order of magnitude and the variation that matter the most.
Impressions of a Post
Definition
The global audience - the maximum number of users that can see the post at the time of publication
Calculation of impressions:
Social media sources
The general formula for social media sources:
Impressions of a post = number of followers at the moment of posting + (number of shares of the post* x median number of followers*)
*number of shares & average number of followers are not available for all social media sources
Web sources
The general formula for social media sources:
Impressions of a post = average monthly number of visits on the website/number of new pages created on the website in one month
Estimated Reach of a Post
Definition
The estimated reach of a post is the estimated number of users exposed to the post at the moment it was published
We use two distinct ways to estimate the reach:
one for the posts on social media
the other one for traditional web sources (Blog, Media...)
Calculation formula
The estimated reach of a post = impressions of the post x web user's exposure coefficient
Impressions and Estimated Reach
