Using Facebook Insights and
HootSuite we will create weekly social
media reports including:
•
•
•
•

Increases in likes and followers
Measures of reach and engagement
Ways driven to our website
Analysis of why posts/tweets were
successful or unsuccessful
• Goals for the upcoming week
• Recommendations for future posts

These weekly reports will be combined
into monthly reports and presented
to the Marketing and Communication
Directors.
*Attached to the weekly report will be
an exported Excel spreadsheet with
page-level and post-level data. (See
Appendix B). Also attached will be a
HootSuite analytics report including all
major platforms.

Best practice research says that
organizations should post on:
• Facebook 3-4 times weekly2
• Twitter at least once a day (with the
exception of live tweeted events)3
• YouTube at least once a month4
Keeping our primary target audience in
mind, we will base our posting schedule
around the University’s class schedule,
which will also cater to working
professionals and high school students.
