Number of subscribers, “followers” …
The number of subscribers to a site or newsletter, Twitter’s “followers” … is a valuable indicator related to the quality of the published information and its interest to the target audience.

The second indicator is related to visitors to the company’s website directly from social networks. This makes it possible to determine the impact of a campaign on these different channels, determine its success and failure, and analyze the causes.
