Essentials- Know your Content Marketing Numbers

You need to know if your content converts well but it is not easy to get numbers.

For sure you can take the social activities, the likes and  the shares, for a first view if your content possibly converts well. Next is to check the comments- how many comments and what is their quality? But anyway after that you still have no clue how well your content converts. A real good number is for the conversion of your content  is how many leads has your article or page collected.

Thrive Themes is therefore a very good solution.

In Thrive Leads is a lead per post/page counter with integrated analytics.
