Twitter Analytics Available to Everyone

Twitter users can access a detailed report on their followers and individual tweets, including impressions, clicks, and engagement. Here’s what you need to know.

Twitter just made it easier for you to gauge how well your tweets resonate with your followers.

Twitter, announced in a tweet that all users now have access to its analytics platform, which was open only to advertisers and verified accounts. The analytics provide details on your tweets’ engagement, clicks, retweets, favorites, replies, and more.

In order to access the analytics dashboard, log in to analytics.twitter.com with your username and password. Analytics are provided to users who have had a Twitter account for at least 14 days, Twitter said.

The Dashboard

The main view of the dashboard displays a chart of the last 28 days, the number of impressions your tweets have received. Additionally the contextual information such as whether your impressions were higher or lower than the previous 28-day period. Impressions refer to the number of times a user sees your tweet in their timeline or in search results. In addition, hover over any of the bars in the chart for a day-by-day breakdown of impressions.

The bar chart is your stream of tweets, which you can also sort by “Tweets and replies” or Promoted tweets if you have ever purchased Twitter Ads. Twitter displays metrics next to each tweet, including the number of impressions; engagements, which refer to the number of times a user clicked, retweeted, replied, followed, or favorited it; and the engagement rate, a percentage that divides the number of engagements by impressions. You can’t sort these individual columns by highest or lowest, however.

Clicking a tweet will let you drill down even further. This will show you the content of the tweet, plus a chart that displays the tweet’s impressions over the first 24 hours.
