  to install the social metrics plugin that brings
  together all the graphs and stats that connect
  with your social media pages. This plugin is
  designed to easily consume information and
  convert it into stats. Log in to your WordPress
  dashboard and go to Plugins gtAdd New. Search for
  the social metrics plugin. You can then install
  and activate the plugin. There is also an option
  to download the zip file to your computer and
  upload the file to your dashboard.

Schedule a full sync

• On the left-hand side of the dashboard, you will
  see a tab called Social Metrics. Click on it to
  navigate to the primary social metrics page.
  Before accessing your social media statistics,
  you first have to sync the plugin with your
  website so that it can pull the shared data you
  have accumulated in the past. Click the Schedule
  Full Sync button. Since this process takes time,
  you can configure other settings as it runs in
  the background. Select Return to Social Metrics
  Dashboard button to start looking at your stats.

Configure the general options

• You can do this while the sync process goes on in
  the background. To configure some of the plugins
  primary settings and options click on the
  configuration option underneath the social
  metrics tab. The first area will prompt you which
  post types you want to sync up and view social
  metrics for. You may choose other options but
  posts and pages are preferable. You may also
  select whether you would like to see a dashboard
  widget that displays a quick look at your social
  metrics.

Start viewing your reports

• You can now see if the full site has synced
  completely. Click back on the social metrics tab
  and you will see the entire list of posts and
  pages that have social activity. This helps you
  to immediately view which of your posts are most
  popular. Scrolling down the colorful social score
  bar youll you will see the breakdown of which
  social media platforms have the majority of the
  shares for a particular post. It is a simple area
  that makes the discovery portion seamless.

Final Remarks

• The Social Metrics analytics tool has made it
  simple to manage your metrics compared to Google
  Analytics. Since the social media plays a great
  role in your sites credibility and search engine
  rankings, it is wise to have it in your array of
  tools. What makes it wonderful is the dashboard
  preview. Dont get worked up with clunky plugins
  that take time to understand. Other plugins are
  not as neat as Social Metrics. If you have any
