Building brands in the world of the internet has become a number game for many but in the run grab the digits we often forget what numbers mean value. Being aware of the right parameters to look for makes you capable of keeping track of the progress or even lack of progress. 

Followers on Instagram? Subscribers on YouTube? Likes? shares? comments? Hits on the website? Ad clicks? Footfall? Everything matters but does it at all times? Or does the importance change with time? Let's have a look!

At Nutshell Ideas, we believe that success begins with understanding the metrics that matter most. Whether you're running a website, managing social media accounts, or running digital ad campaigns, there are specific key performance indicators (KPIs) that can provide valuable insights into your brand's online performance. 

In the age of social media dominance, your brand's presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter can make or break your reputation. Nutshell Ideas recommends closely monitoring metrics like reach, engagement, click-through rates, and follower growth. 

 But, the healthy way is to monitor these metrics with some context. Let us look at this with an example, a business starting to sell customized gifts during the holiday season on Instagram, will have to care about reaching more people to build awareness about their existence. An established ethnic jewelry brand will focus more on reaching users' feeds regularly through follows and subscriptions. 

Moving on to the websites, 

It is a common belief that a website is often the first point of contact for potential customers but with the inclusion of social media the fact changes based on the nature of the business. 

Take a social media-dominant business for example, they reach their potential customer base via social media, and the website is used for a "Know more" purpose. In such cases, the metrics from social media drive the website numbers.

Understanding your target audience is also extremely important.
Who are they? What are their preferences? How do they behave online? Where can we get in touch with them? What time would be right to approach these people? Which platform do they prefer using? Here are a few questions that would help you understand more about your target audience, making your communications more effective.
