Platform Glossary

Review all the social and platform terms you need to know!


Projects: this allows for you to group feeds, workflows, and reports together for organizational purposes. 

Reports: these are where you will find any custom reports that have been created. Clients use these to track partners, competition, and owned assets. 

Feeds: We refer to the feed as the net you cast out onto social media. This process allows "social listening" or monitoring of specific accounts, events, people hashtags, campaigns, etc.

  • Organic posts: Total number of posts across all platforms, excluding retweets and comments 

  • Impressions: The true number of times a post has been viewed.  True Impressions are available for posts from owned profiles that are authenticated with Zoomph. These impression numbers come directly from each respective platform's analytics data. 

  • Projected Impressions: The projected number of times a post has been viewed. For posts from unauthenticated social accounts, Zoomph projects the impressions on a post based on a statistical regression model that measures the number of engagements the post receives, the number of followers the author has, and the content type (text, photo, video) of the post 
      • True impressions are provided for authenticated accounts
  • Engagements: Total number of engagements on posts. This includes engagements such as likes, retweets, comments, shares, and reactions. This does NOT include click interactions on posts. 

  • Engagement Rate: Number of engagements divided by number of impressions on a post or posts. This measures the rate at which a post is engaged with by those who view it. The engagements used here are the number of likes, retweets, comments, reactions, shares, etc. Click interactions are not included in this calculation.

  • Engagements + Interactions: Currently only available for owned, authenticated Tweets - this is the number of likes, retweets, and replies, plus the number of click interactions on a Tweet. Click interactions include media views, hashtags clicks, profile clicks, etc. This number will match the engagement number reflected on Twitter's native analytics dashboard. 

  • Reach: Total number of unique profiles that saw a social post. Reach is available on a post-level basis for owned, authenticated Facebook and Instagram posts. On aggregate, Zoomph estimates reach over multiple posts through an algorithm that projects duplicate profiles across multiple posts and platforms.  

    • Follower Interaction Rate: Number of engagements divided by number of followers. This measures the rate of followers that engage with a profile's post(s).

    • Social Value: The full equivalent media value of a social post based on impressions, video views, and engagements. Social value is measured by analyzing post viewership and engagement metrics against industry-standard CPM, CPE, and CPV rates.


    Audiences: This tab allows you to analyze audience demographics you may be interested in, you can talk to your customer rep for more info on how to create and understand the insights.

    • Zoomph’s audience data is based entirely on Twitter data from ~350 million anonymous users.  Within this feature, Zoomph can create curated audiences for you and enable you to dig deeper into their demographics, as well as compare them against other audiences. 
      • Affinities: presents the audience's interests in or about a specific individual/industry category based on the behavior they exhibit on social media 
      • Zoomph bases this off accounts followed, engagements with accounts, and specific terminology used in the bio of a profile.
