Overview

A performance overview rolls up core metrics and lets you rank content quickly. Think “control tower”: high-level summaries, growth deltas, and sortable tables.

Make sorting predictable: if the table says “Top by engagement,” show the exact number and the period used.

Key Ideas

  • Show aggregates first, then a ranked table.
  • Offer daily/weekly/monthly trend toggles for different cadences.
  • Stick to consistent column names and units across platforms.
  • Allow CSV export for deeper analysis outside the tool.

Simple Flow

  1. Pick a period and review aggregate totals.
  2. Sort the table by the metric that matches your goal.
  3. Identify repeatable patterns in the top rows.
  4. Export for sharing or deeper analysis.

FAQs

  • Why do “top posts” sometimes look surprising? Different goals surface different winners. Clarify which metric drives the ranking and over which range.
  • How granular should trends be? Daily granularity suits most teams; weekly reduces noise for small volumes.
