Understand what’s working and what isn’t. Ordinal’s analytics help you track post performance, identify top content, and see which formats resonate with your audience - all in one place.
Analytics Overview
When you open Analytics from the sidebar, you land on the Analytics Overview page - a rollup view of performance across all your connected accounts. This is where you can see aggregate metrics like total impressions, engagement, and reach for each platform across your entire workspace.
For example, if you have three LinkedIn accounts connected, you’ll see combined totals (total impressions across all LinkedIn accounts) plus a summary card for each individual account.
Click on any account card or See More to dive into that account’s detailed analytics.
You can also switch to Clicks Overview to track click performance for links shortened with Ordinal’s link shortener. See Shortlinks for the full guide.
Account-Level Analytics
Click into any account from the Overview to see detailed analytics for that specific profile. Each account page includes:
- Summary stats - Aggregate metrics for the selected date range with comparison to the previous period
- Charts and graphs - Visual trends showing performance over time
- Post table - Every post with its performance metrics, sortable by any column
- Filters - Narrow down by date range, post type, labels, or campaign
- Export - Download your data as a CSV for external analysis or client reporting
Filtering
Filters help you slice your analytics to answer specific questions. All account analytics pages support:
| Filter | What it does |
|---|
| Date range | Focus on a specific time period (presets like “Last 7 days”, “Last 30 days”, or custom ranges) |
| Post type | Filter by content format - Text, Image, Video, Carousel, Reel, etc. |
| Labels | See how your custom labels perform (e.g., “Product updates” vs. “Industry news”) |
| Campaign | View only posts from a specific campaign |
Pro tip: Use Labels to tag content by topic, theme, or goal. Then filter analytics by label to see which content buckets perform best - this is one of the most powerful ways to refine your content strategy over time.
Exporting Data
Every account analytics page includes an Export button that downloads your current view as a CSV file. The export respects your active filters and date range, so you can create focused reports for clients or stakeholders.
