Your ambassadors are out there sharing your message, but without clear visibility into the likes, comments, and reach their posts generate, it’s hard to see what truly resonates. In this blog, we’ll show you how recently introduced Social Media Engagement Metrics brings real engagement into focus, helping you understand what works, optimize your campaigns, celebrate your advocates, and take your advocacy strategy to the next level.

Real Effort, Real Impact

Your people are putting in the work. They’re sharing meaningful content on platforms like LinkedIn and X. But when that effort disappears into the social media void, you're left wondering:

  • Did anyone actually engage with it?
  • Did it reach a wide audience?
  • Did it spark any conversation?

You could ask for screenshots. You could check post by post. But let’s be honest, that’s time-consuming. And totally unsustainable.


That’s where Social Media Engagement Metrics come in. It helps you track detailed social media engagement at scale, right inside Ambassify. So you can finally see what content performs best, recognize your top advocates, and build a smarter, more effective advocacy program.

Why This Update Matters

Until now, admins had to rely on manual updates from ambassadors or inflated “potential reach” figures that had an indicative value, but didn't reflect actual results. That made it difficult to optimize campaigns, recognize top advocates, or report meaningful impact.

With Social Media Engagement Metrics, you get real-time insights into:

  • Who’s generating engagement
  • Which content is performing best
  • How employee-shared posts compare to company content

This isn’t just an analytics feature, it’s a strategic tool to unlock real, measurable results from your advocacy program.


How It Works

When ambassadors share posts through Ambassify, Social Media Engagement Metrics tracks:

  • Reactions: The sum of all Like, Love, Support and other reactions.
  • Comments: The number of conversations that were sparked with real people.
  • Impressions & Reach: How many times posts were displayed and how far your content travelled.
  • Reshares: The level of amplification across LinkedIn, X, and Facebook

All this data is automatically collected in our built-in report, giving you a complete and accurate view of how your ambassadors are performing, without switching tools or chasing people down.

The Bigger Picture: Make Employee Advocacy Tangible and Valuable

Employee advocacy only works when you can measure the ROI it brings. This requires genuine figures, not vanity metrics. With Social Media Engagement Metrics, you can finally:

  • Track social media analytics of your posts
  • Identify and reward top-performing ambassadors
  • Compare and report on employee content vs. company posts
  • Spot trends and adjust your strategy in real time

And now that it’s included in all Ambassify plans, there’s no barrier to getting started. Whether you’re focused on employer branding, recruitment, brand visibility, or thought lead Social Media Engagement Metrics give you the insights you need to build a stronger, more data-driven advocacy program.
