What does Facebook Talking About This Mean?

December 23, 2012 By Ignite Marketing Team

Facebook has a metric called Talking About This. The Facebook Talking About This metric means the number of people who have created a story about your page. But what does Facebook Talking About This really mean? Allow us to do some more explaining.

According to Facebook, creating a story about your page means that a user has either liked, mentioned, photo taged, commented on or shared a post. So for someone to create a story about your page this means that someone had to interact with it on one of these levels. So if 1,000 people either liked, mentioned, commented on or shared your post then that would mean 1,000 people were Talking About your post.

Facebook reports on the number of people Talking About This on both the page and the post level. This let’s Facebook page owners know how many people are Talking About a single post or the page as a whole at any time. Facebook also gives you the ability to alter the date range for this metric, so if you would like to see your most talked about posts over a period of time you can do this.

In the image below you will see people Talking About This and “Viral Reach.” Viral Reach is another important metric. Briefly, Viral Reach is the amount of people Talking About This based on how many people were exposed to the post. For example, image that 100 people saw your post and only 1 person liked it, this would be a 1% viral reach.
