Key takeaways
- Facebook reports Page performance through Page Insights inside Meta Business Suite — the same underlying Insights metrics wave 4’s Meta Insights guide covers, plus a set of Facebook-specific ones below.
- Page actions: business-intent clicks — clicks to call, website clicks, get-directions taps and CTA-button clicks — the closest Page Insights gets to a conversion signal.
- 3-second, 10-second and 30-second video views: threshold view counts for a video post, alongside average watch time and video percentage watched (average share of the video actually played).
- Reach and impressions are defined the same way across every Meta surface (see the Meta Insights guide) — Facebook’s own additions are the page-action and video breakdowns above, not a different reach definition.

The Facebook Pages analytics metrics that matter
- Page actions — business-intent clicks — clicks to call, website clicks, get-directions taps and CTA-button clicks — the closest Page Insights gets to a conversion signal.
- 3-second, 10-second and 30-second video views — threshold view counts for a video post, alongside average watch time and video percentage watched (average share of the video actually played).
- Page Likes and Follows — tracked as separate totals — a Like and a Follow are not the same action on a Facebook Page, and a Page can gain one without the other.
One honest caveat
Reach and impressions are defined the same way across every Meta surface (see the Meta Insights guide) — Facebook’s own additions are the page-action and video breakdowns above, not a different reach definition.
Where this comes from
Checked against Facebook Pages’s own analytics surface and cross-referenced with Sprout Social — Facebook Page Analytics (2026); a platform can change a metric’s name or exact behavior at any time, so treat this as accurate as of when this guide was last updated, not permanent.
