Begin by creating SMART social media objectives: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timed.

Understanding how to effectively measure social media is challenging; oftentimes marketers aren’t sure how to identify and use specific metrics. Every business needs a strategy tailored to its own particular objectives.

Start with setting objectives according to the SMART acronym: Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timed. This practice will ensure your objectives are in line with your metrics.
