Facebook Analytics: What’s changed in 2021?
Facebook recently announced that they are removing Facebook Analytics. Facebook Analytics was a tool that allowed individuals to see how their Facebook followers were interacting with their pages and content. As of June 2021, it is no longer available, but what does this mean for your organisation and your social media data?
Don’t worry, you will still be able to access important and useful data but you just need to look for it in a different place! In fact, Facebook made these changes as part of an initiative to streamline their business tools. You can now access audience insights across Facebook and Instagram from one place - Facebook Business Suite.
What alternative Facebook tools can you use?
Facebook Business Suite - you can manage your Facebook and Instagram business accounts in one place, and access detailed insights about your audience, content and trends. Another great feature is that it allows you to view and respond to Facebook and Instagram messages in one inbox, very useful!

The Power of Analytics

By adapting your digital campaigns and tailoring social media content to your followers' needs and interests, you can save time and money all while driving better results.

The Lightful team shares their reflections and hopes this International Women’s Day (IWD).
At Lightful, we believe that trust is a key foundation for our economy and society. Building Trust is at the heart of what we do at Lightful. Our three Co-Founders, Carlos Miranda, Vinay Nair, and Johnny Murnane, all arrived at this conclusion through quite different journeys. They had various backgrounds in impact investing, tech and consulting with the charity sector. They would work with incredible nonprofits, but when they engaged with them online, their websites and social media presence didn’t do justice to the power and impact of their organisation. If you visit a website with out of date information, or broken links etc, you are not filled with confidence that the organisation is trustworthy. You wouldn’t buy from a retailer with a website like that - so why would you donate money or promote the cause? It makes it feel a bit unreliable, and so lending your support or funds could be risky. This creates a real problem for nonprofits, limiting their reach and ability to raise unrestricted funds from everyday donors and others. They set up Lightful to tackle this key problem of building trust.
