Every channel's numbers on one screen

Lemonpost pulls the numbers from every channel you connect into one dashboard. No more exporting CSVs from six apps and pasting them into a spreadsheet.

7, 30, or 90 days

Look back a week, a month, or a quarter. Pick one channel or all of them, and every chart and total follows.

One chart, four metrics

Switch the same chart between engagement, impressions, reach, and views to see how far a post traveled and whether it landed.

Always current

Numbers refresh in real time as your posts collect data, so the dashboard is never out of date.

Engagement by channel for the last 30 days: Instagram 1.4K, TikTok 980, Facebook 420 and LinkedIn 300.

Post when your audience is actually online

Lemonpost maps your engagement by weekday and hour, using your own posts. Your 3 strongest slots are marked as sweet spots.

Your posts, not an industry chart

Each cell comes from engagement on your own posts, so the advice fits your audience. Until you've posted a handful, it leans on broadly good times.

In your time zone

Every slot shows in the time zone you work in, so the hours on the grid are your hours.

Right where you schedule

When you pick a time for a post, your 3 sweet spots are right there to choose from. Or use Suggest times in Settings to fill your weekly posting times with them.

Plan around your sweet spots in the content calendar

A heatmap of engagement by weekday and hour marks Tuesday 9:00 AM, Thursday 6:00 PM and Saturday 11:00 AM as sweet spots. The same three times are suggested when scheduling the next Instagram post.

What is social media analytics?

Social media analytics is the practice of measuring how your posts perform: how many people saw them, how many reacted, and whether your audience is growing. Every platform has its own numbers in its own app, which is why the useful version lives in one dashboard that pulls them all together. That is what turns scattered stats into decisions about what to post next and when.

Which metrics actually matter

Start with reach and impressions to see how far a post traveled, then engagement, the likes, comments, shares, and saves it earned, to see whether it landed. Track followers over time to know if the audience is growing. Lemonpost surfaces all of these together, plus views and link clicks, so you read one story instead of stitching six together.

Why one dashboard beats six tabs

Checking Instagram Insights, then TikTok, then LinkedIn, then a spreadsheet to tie them together is how reporting quietly eats an afternoon. A single social media analytics dashboard shows every channel side by side, on the same range, with the same definitions, so a good week and a quiet one are both obvious at a glance. Filter to one channel when you want the detail, or keep them all in view to compare.

How to find your best time to post

There is no universal best time to post. The generic charts you have seen are averages across millions of accounts, not yours. The reliable way is to look at when your own posts earned the most engagement, hour by hour and day by day, and post into those windows.

Lemonpost builds that heatmap from your real results and highlights your top three slots, so you can stop guessing and start scheduling around what already works.

Do you need a separate analytics tool?

Standalone social media analytics tools charge a second subscription to show numbers your scheduler could show next to your posts. Because Lemonpost publishes and measures in the same place, your analytics sit right beside the calendar and composer that created the posts, at no extra cost. One login, one bill, and the numbers are never more than a click from the content that made them.

Analytics for all nine platforms

Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, and Bluesky, all measured in the same dashboard. Compare them on one range instead of opening nine apps.

Social media analytics questions, answered

What is social media analytics?

It means measuring how your posts perform: reach and impressions for how far they traveled, engagement for how people reacted, and follower growth for whether your audience is growing. Lemonpost pulls these from every connected platform into one dashboard, so you check one screen instead of six apps.

Which platforms does Lemonpost track?

All nine that Lemonpost publishes to: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, and YouTube. You can view every channel together or filter the whole dashboard to one at a time.

Which metrics can I see?

Posts published, impressions, reach, views, link clicks, and engagement, which is likes, comments, shares, and saves. You also get follower counts over time, your top posts ranked by engagement, a best-times-to-post heatmap, and a per-channel breakdown when you post to more than one network.

How does the best time to post work?

Lemonpost looks at your own published posts and maps average engagement across every weekday and hour, then shows it in your time zone and highlights your three strongest slots. It's based on your real results, not a generic industry chart. You need a handful of posts before the pattern is reliable, so early on it leans on broadly good posting times.

Is the analytics dashboard included in my plan?

Yes. Analytics are part of every Lemonpost plan, including the free trial. There's no separate analytics subscription and no add-on fee.

How far back can I look?

You can view the last 7, 30, or 90 days, for a single channel or all of them at once. Every chart and total on the page updates to the range you choose.

How often do the numbers update?

Your analytics refresh in real time, so the numbers on the dashboard are always current. Connect a channel and its metrics start flowing in on their own, no manual syncing or exporting required.

Do I have to publish through Lemonpost to get analytics?

No. Posts you publish outside Lemonpost are included too. Once a channel is connected, its posts show up in your dashboard whether you scheduled them here or posted straight from Instagram or TikTok. Scheduling through Lemonpost just keeps planning, posting, and measuring in one place.

Can I export or white-label these reports for clients?

Yes, on the Growth and Pro plans. White-label reports turn these numbers into a branded report with your logo and colors that you can export and send to clients. The analytics dashboard, on every plan, is where you explore the numbers first.

How much does a social media analytics tool cost?

Lemonpost starts at $29 per month, and analytics come with every plan, along with unlimited team seats. There's a 7-day free trial, so you can connect your channels and see your numbers before you pay.
