Expected outcome

What you’ll achieve

  • An original content test based on a repeated organic pattern rather than one unusually successful post.
Step by step

Follow the workflow

  1. 1

    Select Facebook or Instagram Organic

    Open the relevant dashboard from Competitor Tracking and set the reporting period.

  2. 2

    Compare cadence before engagement

    Publishing frequency establishes context. A brand with more posts creates more opportunities for total engagement.

  3. 3

    Inspect formats and themes

    Look for recurring video, carousel, image, promotional, educational, or creator-led patterns.

  4. 4

    Open individual posts

    Read captions and view the media. Confirm that a high-level pattern is represented by more than one post.

  5. 5

    Turn the pattern into a test

    Adapt the strategic format or content angle to your brand; do not copy a competitor’s creative execution.

Quality check

Verify your work

  • The compared brands and reporting window are equivalent
  • Cadence, format, and engagement conclusions are supported by multiple posts
  • The proposed test changes the pattern for your own audience and brand instead of copying execution
Troubleshooting

If something doesn’t look right

A company is missing

Assign its Facebook Page or Instagram profile to the company and allow collection to finish.

Total engagement is misleading

Compare per-post context and publishing volume as well as totals.

A preview is unavailable

Open the source post where possible and do not rely on missing media as creative evidence.

Scope

Limitations and safeguards

Limit

Organic engagement is observable platform activity, not a complete measure of reach, sentiment, conversions, or business impact.
