Data Freshness and reporting durations

  • Facebook insights is a live connector

  • Data can only be fetched over a window of 365 days. If the difference between start date and end date is greater than 365 days, we cannot fetch that data

FAQ

Q: The data that I see in Facebook Pages is not matching with what I see in ReportGarden

A: Follow the steps below to ensure that the right settings are selected

  • Ensure that the right date range is selected

  • Ensure that the right metrics are selected

  • Check for any filters

Q: How do I show Reach in Facebook Pages?

A: The following metrics can be used to show the reach of the facebook page / facebook posts

  • Page Reach - Unique Page Impressions

  • Paid Page Reach - Paid Unique Page Impressions

  • Organic Page Reach - Organic Unique Page Impressions

  • Page Post Reach - Unique Page Post Impressions

  • Paid Post Reach - Paid Unique Page Impressions

  • Organic Post Reach - Organic Unique Page Impressions

Q: Total reach is not equal to paid reach + organic reach

A: Total reach might not always exactly equal the sum of the organic and paid reach metrics. This is because the unique impressions insight values are calculated independently and is a limitation from Facebook's API. ReportGarden shows the data as returned by Facebook's API and currently there is no work around.

Q: All my posts are not showing up in the given duration

A: To ensure that the posts are displayed, do the following checks

  • Ensure that the post is not a private post or the post has been deleted. Deleted posts and posts with private settings cannot be pulled via the API

  • Firstly, ensure that the right date range is selected.

  • Ensure that the created date/time of the post falls in the selected date range. If the post has been created before/after the start_date/end_date respectively, the post will not be shown in the results

  • Go to the advanced tab and ensure that the no of rows to show is sufficiently large to display all the results in the given time period

  • Ensure that the right post kind is selected. All posts should cover it. Also check if you have the right permissions to show visitor posts, scheduled posts, etc

Q: I'm unable to see data for age, gender and other demographic dimensions

A: Facebook needs to have a certain threshold of page impressions to show data for age/gender. Try increasing the date range to 6 months or 1 year to get the data.

Q: How do I show only the promoted posts data?
