The Facebook Pages analytics metrics that matter are Page actions, 3-second, 10-second and 30-second video views and Page Likes and Follows. Read them in Facebook Pages’s own analytics, compare each post with the account’s own median rather than an industry average, and watch the trend month to month. SkedCast collects Facebook Pages post metrics beside your other channels.
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.

Which Facebook Pages analytics metrics matter most?
| Metric | What it measures |
|---|---|
| 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. |
