---
### Educational Tone (All Platforms)
**Characteristics**:
- Clear, simple language
- Step-by-step structure

## Copywriting Frameworks
### AIDA (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action)
**Structure**:
```
Attention: "97% of startups fail in their first year."
Interest: "But the 3% that succeed all do these 3 things:"
Desire: "→ Validate before building
→ Talk to customers daily
→ Ship fast and iterate"
Action: "Which one are you doing? Comment below."
```
---
### PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solve)
**Structure**:
```
Problem: "Tired of spending 10 hours/week on data entry?"
Agitate: "That's 520 hours per year—over 3 months of your life!"
Solve: "Our automation cuts that to 30 minutes. Here's how: [link]"
```
---
### Before-After-Bridge
**Structure**:
```
Before: "I used to work 60-hour weeks and still felt behind."
After: "Now I work 40 hours and accomplish 2x more."
Bridge: "The difference? I learned to automate the boring stuff. Thread 👇"
```
---
### The Hook Formula
**Pattern**: [Number] + [Adjective] + [Topic] + [Promise]
**Examples**:
```
✅ "5 simple automation hacks that save 10 hours per week"
✅ "3 brutal mistakes that killed my first startup"
✅ "7 proven strategies to double your engagement"
✅ "1 counterintuitive tip that changed how I work"

# Analytics Skill
**Metrics tracking patterns for engagement, reach, conversions, and comprehensive social media reporting**
This skill provides proven frameworks for tracking, analyzing, and reporting on social media performance.
---
## Core Principles
1. **Track What Matters**: Focus on metrics that drive business goals
2. **Context Over Numbers**: Raw metrics mean nothing without comparison
3. **Actionable Insights**: Every metric should inform a decision
4. **Trends Over Snapshots**: Look at patterns, not single data points
5. **Iterate Based on Data**: Let performance guide strategy
---
## Key Metrics Framework
### Tier 1: North Star Metrics (Track Weekly)
These metrics directly impact business goals:
**Engagement Rate**:
```
Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves) / Reach × 100
```
- Most important metric for content quality
- Shows how compelling your content is
- Compare to historical average and industry benchmarks
**Follower Growth Rate**:
```
Growth Rate = (New Followers - Unfollows) / Starting Followers × 100
```
- Indicates account health and reach expansion
- Track weekly to catch trends early
- Negative growth signals content/strategy issues
**Click-Through Rate (CTR)**:
```
CTR = Clicks / Impressions × 100
```
- Measures CTA effectiveness
- Shows intent and interest level
- Critical for conversion-focused content
---
### Tier 2: Performance Metrics (Track Daily)
These metrics show content effectiveness:
**Reach**:
- Unique users who saw your content
- Organic vs paid breakdown
- Platform-specific nuances matter
**Impressions**:
- Total times content was displayed
- Can exceed reach (same user sees multiple times)
- High impressions + low engagement = content issue
**Saves (Instagram, LinkedIn)**:
- Strongest signal of valuable content
- Algorithm boost on Instagram
- Users find it reference-worthy
**Shares/Retweets**:
- Highest value engagement action
- Extends reach beyond followers
- Shows content resonates deeply
**Video Completion Rate**:
```
Completion Rate = Full Video Views / Video Starts × 100
```
- Critical for video content success
- First 3 seconds make or break
- Platform algorithms heavily weight this
---
### Tier 3: Vanity Metrics (Context Needed)
These metrics need context to be useful:
**Total Followers**:
- Growth rate matters more than total
- 10K engaged followers > 100K dormant followers
- Quality over quantity
**Total Likes**:
- Engagement rate is more meaningful
- Easy, low-value action
- Likes alone don't indicate success
**Impressions (alone)**:
- Meaningless without engagement context
- 1M impressions with 0 engagement = failure
- Always pair with engagement metrics
---
## Platform-Specific Analytics
### Twitter/X Analytics
**Access**: Twitter Analytics dashboard (analytics.twitter.com)
**Key Metrics to Track**:
1. **Tweet Impressions**: How many times tweets were seen
2. **Engagement Rate**: Engagements / Impressions
3. **Profile Visits**: Interest in your account
4. **Mention**: Brand awareness indicator
5. **Top Tweet**: What resonated most
6. **Follower Demographics**: Location, interests
**Twitter-Specific Calculations**:
```
Amplification Rate = Retweets / Followers × 100
(Measures share-worthiness)
Applause Rate = Likes / Impressions × 100
(Measures content resonance)
Conversation Rate = Replies / Impressions × 100
(Measures discussion generation)
```
**What to Track**:
- Best performing tweets by engagement rate
- Optimal posting times (when YOUR audience engages)
- Thread performance vs single tweets
- Media tweet performance (image/video vs text)
**Red Flags**:
- Declining engagement rate over time
- High impressions but low engagement (content quality issue)
- Follower growth plateau or decline
- Increasing profile visits but not followers (conversion issue)
---
### LinkedIn Analytics
**Access**: LinkedIn Page Analytics
**Key Metrics to Track**:
1. **Impressions**: Organic vs viral breakdown
2. **Unique Viewers**: How many people saw content
3. **Engagement Rate**: Total engagements / Impressions
4. **Click-Through Rate**: Link clicks / Impressions
5. **Follower Demographics**: Job titles, industries, seniority
6. **Visitor Analytics**: Who's viewing your profile
**LinkedIn-Specific Metrics**:
```
Social Selling Index (SSI) = Your professional brand score
(0-100, track monthly)
Viral Impressions = Shares × Average follower count
(Measures content spread beyond your network)
```
**What to Track**:
- Carousel/Document post performance (typically highest reach)
- Engagement by post type (article vs native vs link)
- Connection growth from posts
- Visitor sources (search, shares, direct)
**LinkedIn Algorithm Signals**:
- Dwell time (keep readers on platform)
- Early engagement (first hour crucial)
- Comments > Reactions > Shares (weighted differently)
- Personal posts often outperform company page posts
**Red Flags**:
- Low dwell time (readers leave quickly)
- High impressions but low unique viewers (shown repeatedly to same people)
- External link posts get low reach (algorithm penalty)
---
### Instagram Analytics
**Access**: Instagram Insights (in-app)

6. **Follows from Post**: Conversion metric
7. **Story Metrics**: Replies, exits, forward/back taps
**Instagram-Specific Metrics**:
```
Save Rate = Saves / Reach × 100
(Instagram's #1 quality signal, aim for >5%)
Story Completion Rate = Final Frame Views / First Frame Views × 100
(Measures story engagement)
Reel Retention = Average Watch Time / Video Length × 100
(Critical for Reels performance)
```
**What to Track**:
- Reel performance (reach beyond followers)
- Carousel save rate (educational content indicator)
- Story engagement features (polls, questions, quizzes)
- Best hashtag sets (track performance by rotation set)
**Instagram Algorithm Signals**:
- Saves (highest priority)

4. **Page Views**: Interest in your business
5. **Page Likes**: Growth over time
6. **Post Clicks**: Link clicks, photo views
**Facebook-Specific Metrics**:
```

- Peak online times (when to post)
- Top posts by reach and engagement
**Facebook Algorithm Signals**:
- Meaningful interactions (comments, shares > likes)
- Time spent on post (video watch time)

## ROI Calculation
### Organic Social Media ROI
```
ROI = (Value Generated - Time Investment) / Time Investment × 100
Where:
Value Generated =
(Conversions × Average Value) +
(Brand Awareness Value) +
(Customer Support Savings)
Time Investment =
(Content Creation Hours × Hourly Rate) +
(Management Hours × Hourly Rate)
```
### Example Calculation:
```
TIME INVESTMENT:
• Content creation: 10 hrs/week × $50/hr = $500
• Management: 5 hrs/week × $50/hr = $250
• Total weekly investment: $750
VALUE GENERATED:
• Conversions: 20 sign-ups × $100 LTV = $2,000
• Brand awareness: Est. $500 (reach equivalent)
• Support savings: $200 (community answers questions)
• Total weekly value: $2,700
ROI = ($2,700 - $750) / $750 × 100 = 260% ROI
```
---
## A/B Testing Framework
### What to Test
**Content Variables**:
- Post copy variations (hooks, lengths)
- Visual styles (photos vs graphics vs videos)
- CTA placement (beginning vs end)
- Hashtag sets (different mixes)
- Emoji usage (amount and placement)

# SEO Optimization
**Technical SEO, content optimization, and search strategy**
# Technical SEO Skill
**Production-tested practices for technical SEO audits and implementation**
This skill codifies technical SEO best practices from professional audits of high-performing websites.
---
## Core Principles
1. **Crawlability First**: Search engines must find and access your content
2. **Speed Matters**: Core Web Vitals directly impact rankings
3. **Mobile-First**: Google indexes mobile version primarily
4. **Structured Data**: Help search engines understand your content
5. **User Experience**: Technical SEO serves human visitors
---
## The 10 Pillars of Technical SEO
### 1. Site Architecture & Crawlability
**Optimal Site Structure**:
```
Homepage (Level 0)
├─ Category Pages (Level 1)
│ ├─ Subcategory Pages (Level 2)
│ │ └─ Individual Pages (Level 3)
```
**Best Practices**:
- Maximum 3 clicks from homepage to any page
- Logical URL hierarchy
- Clear navigation structure
- Internal linking strategy
- XML sitemap for all important pages
**robots.txt Configuration**:
```txt
# Allow all crawlers
User-agent: *
Allow: /
# Block sensitive areas
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /private/
Disallow: /*.pdf$
# Block duplicate content
Disallow: /*?sort=
Disallow: /*?page=
# Sitemap location
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
```
**Common Mistakes**:
- Blocking important pages in robots.txt
- Orphaned pages (no internal links)
- Infinite scroll without pagination
- Deep page hierarchy (4+ levels)
### 2. Core Web Vitals & Performance
**The 3 Core Web Vitals**:
**Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)** - Loading Performance
- Target: < 2.5 seconds
- Measures: When main content loads
- Fix: Optimize images, reduce server response time, use CDN
**First Input Delay (FID)** - Interactivity
- Target: < 100 milliseconds
- Measures: Time until page is interactive
- Fix: Minimize JavaScript, code splitting, defer non-critical JS
**Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)** - Visual Stability
- Target: < 0.1
- Measures: Unexpected layout shifts
- Fix: Set image dimensions, avoid inserting content above existing content
**Performance Optimization Checklist**:
- [ ] Images optimized (WebP/AVIF, compressed)
- [ ] Lazy loading implemented
- [ ] Critical CSS inlined
- [ ] JavaScript deferred/async
- [ ] CDN for static assets
- [ ] Server response time < 200ms
- [ ] Minified CSS/JS
- [ ] Gzip/Brotli compression enabled
### 3. Mobile-First Optimization
**Mobile SEO Checklist**:
- [ ] Responsive design (adapts to all screen sizes)
- [ ] Viewport meta tag present
- [ ] Touch targets ≥ 44x44px
- [ ] Font size ≥ 16px for body text
- [ ] No horizontal scrolling

blue-running-shoes-1200w.webp 1200w"
sizes="(max-width: 600px) 400px,
(max-width: 1000px) 800px,
1200px"
