To check analytics for a scheduled Facebook post, open the Page's insights in Meta Business Suite and find the post for reach, reactions, comments, shares and clicks. SkedCast collects each published post's figures for every connected Facebook account into Analytics, beside your other networks, so scheduled posts can be compared without opening them one by one.
Key takeaways
- Facebook Page analytics live in Meta Business Suite (or Page Insights), not on personal profiles.
- Reach and engagement figures are typically available within a day of a post going live.
- Reactions are broken out by type (like, love, care, etc.), not just a single count.
- Facebook distinguishes organic reach from any paid boost applied to the same post.
Where Facebook Page analytics live
Facebook’s post-level analytics are found in Meta Business Suite under the Insights section, or in the classic Page Insights tab if your Page still uses it. Either surface lets you drill into an individual post to see how it performed.
This only applies to Facebook Pages — personal profile posts do not have an analytics dashboard, so a scheduled post needs to have gone to a Page for any of this to apply.
What a post’s analytics show
For an individual post, Facebook reports reach (how many accounts saw it), reactions broken down by type, comments, shares, and click-throughs where relevant. These figures typically populate within a day of the post going live and continue to update as engagement accrues.
- Reach is split into organic and paid where a boost has been applied
- Reaction types (like, love, care, haha, wow, sad, angry) are each counted separately
- Negative feedback (hide, report, unfollow) is also tracked at the post level
How to check Facebook analytics for a scheduled post
Once your scheduled post publishes, open Meta Business Suite, go to the Insights tab, and locate the post in the content list — usually searchable or sortable by date, which makes it straightforward to find a post that went out on a specific schedule.
FAQ
