InfluenceKit lets you track the performance of your content across multiple platforms, using deliverables. When you enter a deliverable with a URL, and connect the relevant external account, InfluenceKit will automatically collect metrics for that content.
Every report totals your headline metrics — impressions, views and engagements — at the top, then breaks them down per creator and per post. The numbers below the donut charts (and on each deliverable card) are the same metrics defined in this article.
Summary metrics (calculated across the whole report)
The metrics further down this article are the ones we collect from each platform. Summary is the block at the top of your report that calculates figures from them — rates and cost efficiency across every platform at once.
It’s also where your report’s note now lives, so the thing you write about the campaign and the numbers that back it up sit together. If you’ve added notes to a report before, they’re already here — nothing moved out of your reports, the box just sits in the summary block now instead of under the title.
To add the numbers, open your report and click Add metrics, then use Choose metrics to pick which cards to show. They appear on your shared report link as well.
Rates
Engagement rate — engagements ÷ impressions, across every post in the report
View rate — views ÷ impressions
Click-through rate — link clicks ÷ impressions
A note on Meta: Instagram and Facebook now report a single combined figure for impressions and views, so on reports made up of Meta content you’ll often see a view rate of 100%. That’s the platform, not an error — engagement rate per impression is the more useful number there.
Per post — impressions and engagements divided by the number of posts in the report. Handy when creators posted very different amounts.
Cost efficiency — CPM (spend per 1,000 impressions), CPE (spend per engagement), and return on spend (tracked revenue ÷ spend).
These come from the rates on your campaign’s creators — there’s nothing to type in. They only appear on reports about a campaign: if you’re reporting on your own content there are no rates behind it, so the cost cards aren’t offered at all. Add or correct a creator’s rate and the report updates on the next load. If some creators don’t have a rate recorded, the picker tells you how many, so you know the figure is only counting the ones that do; if none of them do, the cost cards simply don’t appear.
Paid media CPM is separate: it uses the ad spend and paid impressions we pull from Meta for boosted posts, not what you paid the creator.
Cost metrics are visible to anyone with your report’s share link. If you’d rather your client didn’t see what the campaign cost, leave those cards unselected.
Totals — impressions, reach, views, engagements, link clicks, revenue and post count are also available as cards, though they’re already shown in the charts above the section.
Metrics that can’t be calculated from your report’s data don’t appear as cards at all, rather than showing an empty dash. Open Choose metrics and the picker explains what’s missing for each one.
Here’s what the different metrics are for each platform we support:
Instagram Reels
Unique Impressions or Reach - the number of unique accounts that have seen the Reel at least once. (Note: Reach differs from impressions, which can include multiple views of a Reel by the same account. The metric is estimated and in development.)
Views - the number of times the Reel starts to play after an impression is already counted. (This is defined as video sessions with 1 ms or more of playback and excludes replays.). Note: Meta now calls all impressions - plays + replays - views
Engagements:
Saves
Comments
Likes
Shares
Avg. Watch Time - the average time spent playing the reel.
Total Watch Time - the total time the Reel was played, including any time spent replaying the Reel.
Instagram Stories
Views - the number of times this post was shown to any user (formerly called impressions)
Unique Impressions - the number of unique users who saw this post
Engagements:
Replies - the number of replies the story received
Shares - the number of times the story was shared.
NOTE: Instagram does not provide metrics for link clicks or stickers on stories. This is a limitation they have chosen to impose. If they change their policy and offer these metrics, we’ll add them. In the meantime, you can always add those metrics manually.
Story re-shares are not supported (you must be the story’s original creator in order for stats to work).
Instagram Posts, Videos, and IGTV (Instagram TV)
Views - the number of times this post was shown to any user (impressions)
Unique Impressions or Reach - the number of unique users who saw this post
Video Views (IGTV and videos) - the number of times the video was viewed
Engagements:
Likes
Comments
Saves
Note: Instagram stats do not include stats from boosted posts. Any views, engagements, or unique impressions that result from a boost will not be reflected in InfluenceKit. You can add those boosted stats manually without affecting the automatically updated stats.
Facebook Posts and Reels
Views - the number of times this post was shown to any user (formerly known as Impressions)
Impressions - shown alongside Views for posts where Facebook reports a single combined figure
Avg. Video Time Spent - the average time viewers spent watching the video
Engagements:
Post clicks - the number of times people clicked anywhere on this post without generating a story
Comments - the number of comments on this post
Shares - the number of times this post was shared
Reactions - each reaction type (Like, Love, Wow, Haha, Sad, Angry) is listed as its own stat
Note: Facebook does not offer a post-saves metric through its Page Insights API, so saves can’t be pulled for Facebook posts or Reels. This is a Facebook limitation — Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok saves are all supported. Facebook also no longer provides post-level unique reach for Pages, which is why you’ll see Views rather than Reach.
Facebook Stories are not yet supported. You can add these manually.
TikTok
What you get depends on how you connected TikTok. A TikTok Business connection returns TikTok’s full analytics set. A personal TikTok connection uses TikTok’s more limited Display API, which returns views and the basic engagement counts only. If a metric below is missing from your report, that’s usually why — you can reconnect TikTok as a Business account from your Connected Accounts page.
Play Count - the number of times the video was played (views)
Impressions - the number of times the video was shown
Reach - the number of unique accounts that saw the video (Business connection only)
Engagements:
Likes
Comments
Shares
Favorites - the number of times viewers saved the video. TikTok calls saves “Favorites,” so that’s the label you’ll see on your report. (Business connection only)
Video performance (Business connection only)
Total Watch Time - the total time viewers spent watching the video
Avg. Watch Time - the average time spent per view
Full Video Watched Rate - the share of views that watched the video all the way through
Impressions by source - where the views came from, broken out by For You feed, Follow feed, Sound, Search, and Personal Profile
Google Analytics
Pageviews - The number of times this page was loaded (impressions)
Total time on page - the aggregate amount of time visitors spent on this page (time spent)
Shares - the number of times this page was shared on social platforms (engagement)
Average time on page - the average amount of time each visitor spent viewing this page (time spent)
Outbound Clicks - the number of times visitors clicked a link on this page that took them to another site (for example, a click through to a brand’s product page). This comes from Google Analytics’ Enhanced Measurement outbound-click tracking.
Email and phone links are not counted
Google Analytics’ outbound-click tracking only fires for links that lead to a different website. Email links (mailto:) and phone-number links (tel:) don’t point at a website, so Google records no click for them and there is nothing for us to report. This is a limit of Google Analytics, not of InfluenceKit — and it applies no matter how many times someone taps the address or number on your page.
If those clicks matter to you, the site’s owner can add tracking for them in Google Analytics — most commonly a Google Tag Manager trigger that fires on mailto: and tel: links and sends a click event carrying the link’s URL. Once Google is recording them, they appear in the Outbound links to show picker like any other destination.
Choosing which outbound links to show
By default the report shows the total outbound clicks for the page. To count only specific destinations instead, open the deliverable and use the Outbound links to show picker to select one or more URLs. The report then counts just those, with a line for each one — “132 clicks to example.com/shop”. Leave the picker empty to go back to the page total. Outbound links only appear in the picker after the page’s stats have refreshed at least once.
Hiding a stat from a deliverable
If you’d rather not display a particular stat, open the deliverable and use Show or hide stats to uncheck it. Hidden stats are removed from the deliverable’s card and reports but are never deleted — re-check the box at any time to bring a stat back.
Note: we cannot pull stats for pins posted to group boards that are owned by someone else or stats from re-pins.
Saves - the number of times this pin was saved (engagement)
Pin Clicks (previously called “Closeups”)
Outbound Clicks (previously called “Clickthroughs”)
Comment count - the number of comments this pin received (engagement)
Repin count
Impressions - the number of times this pin was seen by users (impressions)
Video views (video pins)
Avg. View Time (video pins)
YouTube
View count - the number of times this video was viewed (impressions)
Likes - the number of users who ‘liked’ this video (engagement)
Comments - the number of comments left on this video (engagement)
Time watched - the amount of time users spent watching this video (time spent)
Why are YouTube stats not aggregated alongside other platforms?
YouTube’s API Terms of Service do not allow us to include YouTube data in aggregated stats and also prevent us from including any YouTube data on exported (PDF) reports. This means we have to break YouTube video stats out separately (more details here) and hide them when exporting PDFs.
LinkedIn stats are available only from posts published on LinkedIn pages. Stats for posts on personal profiles are not available.
Impressions - the number of times this post was seen
Shares - how many times the post was shared on LinkedIn
Likes - how many times the post was liked
Clicks - how many times a link within the post was clicked
Comments - the number of comments that have been added to the post
Twitch
Twitch stats are available for videos. The only stat currently supported is:
View count - the number of times this video was viewed
Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, Kit.com (formerly ConvertKit) and other email platforms
Unique opens - the number of times this email was opened (views)
Clicks - the number of times any link within this email was clicked (engagements)
Clicks to … - if you’ve used Track clicks for on the deliverable to pick particular links, you’ll see one of these per link instead of the single Clicks total. Use it when you’re one advertiser among several sponsors and only your own links should count toward the report.
Bitly Shortlinks
Clicks - the number of times this shortlink was clicked (engagement)
Twitter/X
Impressions - the number of times this tweet was seen
(NOTE: Twitter only provides impressions during the first 30 days after a tweet is posted)Retweets - the number of times this tweet was retweeted (engagement)
Favorites - the number of times this tweet was favorited (engagement)
Omny Studio
Downloads - the total number of times the episode was viewed
Reach - the number of impressions over the last 30 days
Transistor
Total Downloads - (impressions) from last three years through now
