The problem it solves

Checking Facebook Insights for every post and copying the numbers into a spreadsheet eats up time you don't have, especially when you're reporting to clients or a manager every week. It's easy to lose track of which posts are actually working.

Who it fits

Social media managers and marketing agencies who report on Facebook Page performance.

How it works

  1. The workflow starts when you run it or on a schedule
  2. It pulls your recent Facebook Page posts
  3. For each post, it collects the likes, comments, and shares
  4. The numbers are written into Google Sheets, matched to each post
  5. You get an up-to-date engagement report ready to share
What you get

Engagement numbers ready without digging

You get a clean weekly log of likes, comments, and shares for every post you publish.

What you get

A Google Sheets report showing likes, comments, and shares for each of your Facebook posts.

What you need

A Facebook Page with API access and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
