Platform-Specific Performance

Facebook Detailed Metrics

  • Video 3-sec views: 803 (↓84.9%) — severe decline
  • Watch time: 4h 54m (↓85.6%) — severe decline
  • Conversations: 8 (↓20%)
  • Audience size: 10,522 followers (9% of Instagram)

Video collapse: Facebook video engagement has deteriorated sharply. Current video strategy underperforming.

Instagram Detailed Metrics

  • Video 3-sec views: Not reported separately
  • Reach from non-followers: 42,998 of 50K = 86% (strong discovery)
  • Conversations: 146 (↓3.9%)
  • Response rate: 63.7% (acceptable vs FB’s 37.5%)

Discovery strength: Instagram reach heavily from non-followers indicates strong algorithmic amplification.

Audience Demographics

Facebook

  • Gender: Women 59.2%, Men 40.8%
  • Age (peak): 35–44 (34%), 45–54 (24%), 25–34 (22%)
  • Geography: Melbourne 73.9%, Sydney 1.7%, Geelong 1.6%, Adelaide 1.1%, Ballarat 1%
  • Country: Australia 98.1%

  • Country: Australia 92.7% (more international than FB)
  • International: US 1.1%, UK 1%, NZ 0.4%

Key Observations

  1. Instagram is primary platform — 14.9K followers vs FB’s 10.5K; 8x more interactions
  2. All metrics declining month-over-month — 15–36% drops across board (concern for engagement trends)
  3. Video performance collapsed — 85% decline in Facebook video views/watch time (platform issue or content quality)
  4. High content velocity, low engagement — 165 pieces/week but declining engagement suggests content quality or relevance issue
  5. Instagram discovery strong — 86% reach from non-followers indicates algorithm is working; awareness-building is functional
  6. Response rate disparity — IG acceptable (63.7%), FB poor (37.5%)
  7. Story-heavy, post-light — 75–76 stories/week but only 7 posts/week; short-form strategy dominates
  8. Follower growth slowing — both platforms declining (IG ↓29.7%, FB ↓26.2%)

Interpretation for Strategy

Positive signals:

  • Instagram discovery algorithm working (86% non-follower reach)
  • Acceptable response rates on IG (63.7%)
  • Social audience size (25K combined) is meaningful for venue’s scale

Concerns:

  • Declining engagement across all metrics (suggests content/relevance issue)
  • Facebook video strategy severely underperforming (reconsider format)
  • Declining follower growth (retention/appeal issue)
  • High content velocity not translating to engagement (burnout risk)

Implications:

  • Focus on Instagram; consider Facebook as secondary cross-post channel
  • Quality over quantity: reduce story volume, improve post quality and relevance
  • Monitor video content; shift format if underperforming
  • Investigate why engagement declining despite high content output
