When evaluating the success of your UGC strategy, metrics like reach, engagement, and conversions are likely your go-to indicators. However, you might also be wondering:
How much have we saved on content production since implementing UGC?
How does the average time it takes to publish our UGC content compare to the time it takes for our original brand content?
Which products, brands, or categories most frequently appear in our UGC?
Content production metrics can provide answers to these questions. But with a plethora of metrics to sift through and limited resources, keeping tabs on content production performance can be challenging.
The Content Dashboard can be found by going to UGC Monitoring > Analytics and offers a comprehensive view of your user-generated content activity through an overview page that summarizes production insights spanning Tiles, Assets, Rights Management, Tags, and Commerce. Additionally, you can delve deeper into each area for detailed metrics and track trends over time with dedicated reports.
