How to use Facebook Page Insights API

You would then need to determine where to import that data, eg google sheets Or HubSpot’s Advertising Software Within Marketing Hub.
This allows you to pull your Insights API into the platform and match it with the data you already have in CRM. This will provide a better understanding of the customer journey and give you a 360-degree view of how your ads are performing.

Before you start analyzing your data, make sure you know what questions you want answered. This will help you determine which key metrics to focus on.
Once you know this, start looking at the data to identify patterns.
For example, let’s say you notice that your how-to posts are shared at a much higher rate than your other content. This may indicate that this type of content resonates more with your audience and adds value to them and their community.
Thus, if your goal is to get high engagement, you may want to double up on these posts.
Analyzing data is one thing, but what’s more important is what you do next. As you spot trends, pay attention to them and experiment to learn more about what your audience needs.
This will help you learn more about your audience and develop content that meets their needs.
