How to Analyze X Engagement Metrics

Twitter (now X) continues to be a powerful platform for businesses, boasting over 556 million active users and 6.1 billion monthly visits.

With its evolving features, including a dedicated business website and robust advertising options, understanding how to measure and improve your engagement is more crucial than ever.

This guide will walk you through how to leverage the Keywords Everywhere extension to gain valuable insights into your Twitter engagement metrics and those of your competitors, giving you a competitive edge.

Navigating the Keywords Everywhere Widget

Keywords Everywhere simplifies the process of analyzing Twitter engagement metrics, providing you with a handy widget that automatically appears on the right-hand side of any Twitter page you visit. Let’s break down the steps:

Analyze a Specific Page

Begin by selecting a Twitter page you want to analyze, such as a competitor’s profile. You’ll be able to see their average engagement, including likes, replies, retweets, and follower engagement rates.

The widget will display these metrics based on the initially loaded tweets, offering a quick snapshot of their performance.

Expand Your Analysis

For a more comprehensive picture, scroll down the page to load more tweets. The Keywords Everywhere widget will dynamically update, incorporating the newly loaded data into its calculations.

This provides a broader perspective on the page’s overall engagement levels.

Dive Deeper with “Analyze More Tweets”

If you want to go beyond scrolling, simply click the “Analyze more tweets” option within the widget. This will expand the analysis to encompass a larger sample of tweets, giving you an even more accurate view of the target page’s engagement patterns.

Scrutinize the Tweets Table

Clicking “Based on last “x” tweets” will take you to a detailed table that lists all the tweets analyzed by Keywords Everywhere. This table includes:

• Title: A link to the analyzed tweet.
• Replies: The number of replies received.
• Retweets: The number of times the tweet was retweeted.
• Likes: The number of likes the tweet received.
• Impressions: The total number of times the tweet was seen by users.

Examining this table allows you to identify any outlier tweets (those with unusually high engagement) that might be skewing the average.

Export and Analyze

Copy the entire table to a spreadsheet like Excel or Google Sheets for further analysis. This data can be used to identify trends, compare performance across different time periods, and make data-driven decisions.

Understanding the Metrics

Keywords Everywhere measures the following Twitter engagement metrics:

Impressions: How many times a tweet was seen by users.
Likes: The number of likes a tweet received.
Replies: The number of comments or replies a tweet received.
Retweets: The number of times a tweet was reposted by other users.

Additionally, it calculates:

Impression Engagement Rate: The percentage of people who interacted with a tweet (likes, replies, retweets) out of the total number of impressions.
Follower Engagement Rate: The percentage of a page’s followers who engaged with its tweets.
