Archer analyzes your social media performance data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and recommend strategic changes. Instead of manually digging through charts and spreadsheets, simply ask Archer natural questions about your data.

What Performance Trends Archer Can Identify

Archer examines your account data to spot meaningful patterns across:

  • Content performance: Creative analysis on topics, verticals, and styles

  • Engagement trends: Likes, comments, shares, saves over time

  • Reach patterns: Follower vs. non-follower reach, feed vs. story performance

  • Format overview: Which formats (video, carousel, Reels) perform best

  • Audience behavior: When your audience is most active and engaged

  • Retention metrics: How long viewers watch your videos

  • Growth patterns: Follower growth, unfollows, and profile visits

  • Posting strategy: Optimal times, frequency, and content mix


How to Ask Archer About Your Performance

Ask Archer conversational questions about your data. Here are common examples:

Trend Analysis:

  • "Why is my reach down this week?"

  • "What's working best on Instagram right now?"

  • "Show me retention trends for carousel vs video content"

  • "How has my TikTok engagement changed over the last month?"

Content Performance:

  • "Which posts performed best this week?"

  • "What time should I post on Tuesday?"

  • "Are my Reels getting better retention than before?"

  • "What content types should I focus on?"

Predictive Questions:

  • "What should I post next based on current performance?"

  • "What content will resonate with my audience tomorrow?"

  • "Which format should I use for my next campaign?"


Understanding Archer's Analysis

When you ask about performance, Archer will:

  1. Pull the relevant data: Access Measure Studio's hourly tracking and metadata

  2. Identify patterns: Look for trends, anomalies, and correlations

Tips for Better Performance Questions

Be specific about timeframes:

  • Instead of: "How's my engagement?"

  • Try: "How has my engagement changed in the last 2 weeks?"

Ask follow-up questions:

  • If Archer identifies a trend, dig deeper: "Why is that happening?"

  • Request examples: "Show me my top 3 posts from that time period"

Focus on actionable metrics:

  • Instead of: "Give me all my stats"

  • Try: "What's the one thing I should change about my content strategy?"

Compare formats and strategies:

  • "How do my video Reels perform vs. photo carousels?"

  • "Does posting at 9 AM work better than 6 PM?"

Reference your targets:

  • "What do I need to do to hit my reach goal this month?"

  • "Which metrics are off-track from my targets?"
