Overview
When demographic or interest data is available, pair it with content types to find practical adjustments: which formats resonate with which segments.
Avoid overfitting—small samples can mislead. Look for patterns that persist over several cycles.
Key Ideas
- Compare content types (video, carousel, text) by audience segment.
- Keep privacy in mind: use aggregates, not individuals.
- Prioritize insights that change action (timing, format, tone).
- Revalidate insights as the audience evolves.
Simple Flow
- Select a stable time window.
- Group posts by content type or theme.
- Compare metrics by available segments.
- Document a few actionable adjustments.
FAQs
- What if demographics are limited? Use proxy signals (format, length, topic) and focus on engagement patterns.
- How do we prevent bias? Confirm that differences persist across multiple windows and sample sizes.
