Understanding Kapost Insights Overview Insights provides you with data to better understand how your marketing content engine is enabling your marketing efforts from these perspectives: Production - What the efficiency and breadth of content you are creating? External Reach - How is your content being engaged with? Internal Reach - How is your content being shared internally through the Kapost Library? Conversion - How is your content contributing to your sales funnel? You access Insights from the Application Menu icon. Insights offers navigation to the production analytics, the external and internal reach analytics, and the conversion analytics. Within each section of Insights you can filter the date range of the data using the View pull down menu in the upper right hand corner.
All charts and graphs can be downloaded from the download icon. Download options include JPEG image, PDF document, or CSV. Most charts can also be filtered by Content Type, Personas, Buying Stages, Categories or Campaigns by choosing the appropriate option from the filter pull down menu. Each graphs contains a question mark icon for easy access to additional information about the data being displayed. Production Production data is gathered from the work completed within factory. There are 4 charts available. 1. How long does it take to produce content? Use this graph to see how the average production times are trending over time. Each column represents the average time, in days, it took the Kapost members to produce the content completed. Content must be completed (mark all tasks off as complete in a workflow) or published for it to be calculated in this graph's calculations. To gain more insight, hover over a specific point on the graph. A tooltip will display more information about how many pieces are being charted, and on what date.
Use the filter drop down menu to change the display by Content Type, Personas, Buying Stages, Categories, Authors, or Campaigns. Selecting to filter by Content Type displays a content type drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated from the content types and workflow configuration settings.
Selecting to filter by Personas displays a persona drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated from the Personas and Buying Stages grid. Selecting to filter by Buying Stages displays a buying stages drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated from the Personas and Buying Stages grid. Selecting to filter by Categories displays a categories drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated when there is a Drupal or Wordpress integration configured.
Selecting to filter by Authors displays an author drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated with all Kapost admin, editor, and contributor members. Selecting to filter by Campaigns displays a campaign drop down menu to choose from. This menu is populated from the campaign catalog.
2. How often are assets delivered late? Use this graph to see how on- time delivery rates are trending over time. Each data point represents the percentage of content completed or published, the Kapost members delivered late. Kapost members must include deadlines on the last "In Production" task AND complete (mark all tasks off as complete in a workflow) or publish content for it to be considered in this graph's calculations. Use the filter drop down menu to change the display by Content Type, Personas, Buying Stages, Categories, Authors, or Campaigns. See the Filter Menu section above. Additionally, more insight can be gained by hovering over a specific point on the graph. A tooltip will display more information about the total number of assets produced and the percentage that were late. 3. Which workflow tasks are slowing down our production? Use this graph to see which workflow tasks are taking the longest to complete and are continually being completed late. The tasks charted towards the upper right portion of the graph are tasks that take a long time to complete and have a low on- time completion rate. The tasks charted towards the lower left portion of the graph are tasks that take a short time to complete and have a high on- time completion rate. The Kapost members must include deadlines on tasks and mark all tasks in the workflow as complete for the assets to be considered in this graph's calculations. This chart allows you to visually identify tasks that take a lot longer than most other tasks and find areas where you may increase efficiency. Use the filter drop down menu to filter by content type. Additionally, more insight can be gained by hovering over a specific point on the graph. A tooltip will display more information about the average number of days to complete the asset and the percentage of how many are late.
4. What gaps do we have in our strategy? By choosing the x and y- axis you can cross- reference multiple criteria to identify areas where the content strategy may be lacking content. For example, plot personas on the x- axis and buying stages on the y- axis. The graph will then display how much content was produced for each persona/buying stage cross section for the given date range. The more content produced, the darker blue the cell will appear. Use any metadata in the Kapost factory to influence this graph.
The 3 available filter drop down menus are shown below. Use various combinations to display this production information in a variety of ways. Once the grid populates you can select the data to display additional information based on the filtering options selected. Reach There are two sections available within the Reach Insights. External Reach Insights allow you to learn how the general public is engaging with the content. Internal Reach Insights allow you to learn how an internal audience is engaging with content in the Kapost Library. Select the appropriate section link at the top of the screen to display either External Reach or Internal Reach Insights.
