In the Advocacy Platform, Analytics is where you can view how your ExpertVoice advocacy marketing program performs over time. Within the Analytics feature, you have access to a rich database of reports that you can customize for your brand's needs. Analytics aims to give you greater visibility into how your advocacy marketing program performs over time with specific audiences and can inform how you improve your program moving forward.
Tip: You can use the campaign-specific reports in Analytics to monitor the performance of multiple campaigns your brand has published on ExpertVoice. For more detailed information about how specific campaigns perform, visit the Campaign Manager dashboard for additional data.
As experts start to engage with your campaigns, your analytics will populate and refresh daily in the Advocacy Platform. Because experts have 22x more conversations about the brands and products they love than the average consumer, it's essential to regularly monitor your program analytics and adjust your campaign strategy if needed to help more consumers make better purchasing decisions.
