My business is promoting myself as a dark fantasy romance author through my social media platforms, newsletter, blog, and author website. To determine successful content there will be several factors I can use to measure across the various platforms. For my webpage and blog, key word tracking, and referral traffic will matter. For my social media platforms will factor in reach, impressions and engagement. The larger audience I can reach and the more engagement I can encourage the more successful my content.

The Most important metrics that I would want for my business would be the click-through rates and shares, as the click through rate will help me to determine if my strategy is working as well as help them to determine what types of customers/ what type of audience I have.

Conversions are a good measure of how well our content is converting interest into actual stays or reservations. High conversion rates indicate that our content is effectively engaging our audience and driving them to take action.
Customer reviews and ratings are equally crucial because they reflect guest satisfaction and influence potential customers. Positive reviews can significantly boost our reputation and lead to more bookings, while negative feedback helps us identify areas for improvement.
I own an instagram page and of course views, comments and likes matter the most.
I am on the way to launch a website/app business in which social media will be included, so the same will apply to its profile in social media but for the website/app I would say that things like page views, unique page views, how much time a user spent on the website or app, bounce rate, referal traffic, quality score, CPA and ROAS matter as well.
