Connect a Page and get its history on day one.

Facebook is the only one of the three platforms that serves historical account figures, so a Page you connect today arrives with follower and page-view history already in place.

Facebook provides a Page's follower and page-view history, so Viably compares this week against the last six months.

What arrives

What a Page reports, past and present.

Permissions cover reporting only. You keep publishing from Facebook's own tools as before.

Collected hourly for the first 48 hours and daily up to 30 days.

Day one

A trend you can read before you have published anything.

Most analytics tools start counting on the day you install them. A connected Page brings its follower and page-view history with it, so you can see straight away whether last quarter went well.

  • History on connection

    Follower and page-view history loads as far back as Facebook allows, then stays current with everything you publish.

  • Read-only access

    Viably only asks for reporting permissions and has no publishing scope, so it can't post anything on the Page.

  • Measured while engagement climbs

    Viably measures each post hourly for the first two days, then daily up to thirty days.

Facebook provides the account's history, so you see the trend on the day you connect the Page.
Fair comparison

Reactions and shares, on the average post.

Viably ranks post types on what the typical post achieves. Facebook no longer reports views or reach for Pages, so the ranking uses reactions, comments and shares.

Facebook no longer serves views or reach for Pages, so posts are ranked on reactions, comments and shares alone.

FAQ

Questions about the Facebook integration

Does Viably post to my Page?
No. This power only reads. It asks for reporting permissions and never posts or schedules anything.
How far back does the history go?
Follower and page-view history loads when you connect, as far back as Facebook allows. Viably fills in post-level figures as it works back through what the Page has published.
Does it only see posts made through Viably?
No. Viably finds posts that are already live on the Page, whether they were created in the app, a scheduler, or on a phone.
Why do the numbers on a new post keep changing?
Engagement climbs for a day or two after a post goes live, so Viably measures a fresh post every hour for the first 48 hours and then daily up to 30 days.
Why do the Page figures not match the posts added up?
The post figures cover the posts Viably discovered and measured. The Page figures come from Facebook's own reporting and count the Page's overall performance.
Can I compare the Page against our Instagram account?
Yes, side by side in the dashboard. Viably keeps them in separate tables because the two platforms report different metrics.
