Key metrics and their meaning:
Reach – the number of unique users who have seen your content. Helps estimate the size of your audience.
Engagement: likes, comments, reposts. Shows how interesting and relevant your content is.
Conversion – the actions users take after engaging with your content (e.g. purchase, sign up). An assessment of how effectively you convert their interest into action.
