Insights & analytics
The Insights page tracks how your Instagram posts perform.
What's collected
Once a day, Venuesmith pulls performance for every post published in the last two weeks:
| Metric | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Impressions | Total times the post was shown |
| Reach | Unique accounts that saw it |
| Likes / Comments / Saves / Shares | Engagement actions |
| Profile visits | Taps through to your profile |
Reading the numbers
- Engagement rate = (likes + comments + saves + shares) ÷ reach. For hospitality accounts 3-6% is solid; 8%+ is excellent.
- Saves are the strongest signal - people bookmarking your event to come back to.
- The benchmark card compares your recent performance to your own historical average.
A/B experiment results
Posts created via A/B testing are grouped by experiment. Each variant shows its engagement rate and a winner is declared once both have data. Use winners to inform your brand voice settings - if punchier captions consistently win, tell the brand voice to lean punchier.
Requirements
Insights need a healthy Instagram (Meta Graph) connection per location. If the connection drops:
- Go to Locations → your location → Instagram
- Click Reconnect and re-authorise
- The next daily sync resumes data collection
