Traffic sources and analytics

Measuring the success of your video content involves tracking various key performance indicators (KPIs) that provide insights into how well your videos are performing. Understanding where your viewers are coming from (e.g., social media, search engines, direct traffic) helps identify the most effective channels.

By tracking metrics, you gain insights into the performance of your content and can make decisions to improve your strategy. 

Here are some important metrics to consider:

  • View count: The view count is the total number of times your video has been watched. Different platforms have different criteria for what counts as a view.
  • Watch time: Watch time is the total time a viewer has spent watching your video. Higher watch times indicate that viewers stay engaged with your video for longer.
  • Engagement: Engagement metrics include likes, comments, shares, and other interactions with your video. High engagement indicates that viewers actively interact with your content, which can help increase its visibility on social media platforms.
  • Social shares: The number of times your video is shared indicates its popularity and reach. Social shares help increase brand awareness.
  • Conversion rate: The conversion rate measures the number of viewers who visit your salon’s website, sign up for a newsletter, or purchase something.
  • Viewer retention rate: The viewer retention rate shows the number of viewers who watch your video until the end. A high retention rate indicates that your content is engaging and holds the viewer's attention throughout the video.
  • Click-through rate (CTR): CTR measures the number of viewers who click on a call-to-action in your video. This is usually a link to your salon’s website or a product page. A high CTR indicates that your video effectively encourages viewers to take action.
  • Audience demographics: Analysing your viewers' demographics, such as age, gender, and location, helps you understand who is watching your videos.
