Benchmarking
If you’re a Premium Analytics customer, you also have access to the Benchmarking tab. This feature gives you insight into how your Facebook performance compares to other Sprout users.
Facebook Benchmarking measures your Engagement Rate per Impression by Month and compares those metrics to the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile performers on the network. You can also view your current overall ranking, as well as any change from the previous reporting period. Hover over the percentage change and performance ranking metrics to see more detail.
Sprout calculates your network benchmark by ranking Engagement Rate per Impression for all Facebook pages connected to Sprout. All data is anonymized, and customers will not be able to infer your owned Pages’ rankings.
Note: Benchmarking data ingest occurs over a 24-hour period, meaning that data for the current or previous day may not be complete. For best results, omit the current and previous days from the requested date range.
