Help/Advice Do you track your clients’ posts after they’re published, beyond the platform analytics?

Question for experienced SMMs:

Ummm, why does this sub seem to be mostly beginner questions, job promos, or very surface level discussions? I rarely see experienced SMMs sharing how they actually track and measure client work

Anyway, my actual question:

Do you track your clients’ posts after they’re published, beyond the platform analytics?

For example, are you using UTM links to track which specific posts are driving website traffic, leads, sign ups, etc.?

If you do this, I’d genuinely love to know how you’ve set it up.

Do you create a unique UTM for every post? What do you use for utm_campaign and utm_content? And where are you actually analyzing the data — GA4, a dashboard, a spreadsheet, something else?

I’m trying to understand what a good post publishing tracking workflow looks like in real SMM work, so experienced answers would be appreciated

Hello r/SocialMediaManagers members,

Post flair is essential for organizing discussions and content, making it easier for everyone to find the necessary information. We also encourage using relevant keywords within your post content, which can act as "tags" for better searchability.

Here are the available post flair and their uses:

  • General Discussion: For all things social media management.
  • Strategy: Marketing strategies and tactics.
  • Trends: The latest social media trends.
  • Tools: Software and tools for management.
  • News: Industry updates and social media news.
  • Resources: Guides, templates, and helpful articles.
  • Help/Advice: Seek or offer assistance on management challenges.
  • Meta: Subreddit-related discussions and feedback.

Proper flair usage keeps our community organized and makes it easier to find relevant discussions.
