Please follow the detailed instructions here: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/how-to-fix-the-instagram-facebook-connection/

1. Please add your profile (see the answer to the question: ‘How can I add my own profiles with access permissions to Fanpage Karma ?’)
2. If that did not work, please fix your Facebook/Instagram connection (See the instructions here: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/how-to-fix-the-instagram-facebook-connection/)

Access permissions grant the tool the permission to access your profile’s insights data and allow you to manage the profile with the tool. Usually you need to be an administrator of a profile to grant Fanpage Karma with these permissions. It is enough for one user in the account to have these access permissions. In order to grant the permissions, add the profiles to your account here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=PROFILES.

We only include profiles with at least 100 fans. Our system would be overloaded with small profiles if we included all of them. For your own pages, this limit does not apply. 

Here’s how: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/how-to-fix-the-instagram-facebook-connection/

You can manage your own profiles with access permissions in Settings: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=PROFILES

PLEASE NOTE that you should first make sure that your personal Facebook profile has at least the analyst status of your Facebook Page. You can manage these settings in the Facebook area ‘Page roles’ in your page settings.

Furthermore, your personal Facebook profile has to be the admin of the ads account of the Facebook Business Manager which you use to push ads on to your Instagram Business profile (if applicable).

Your Instagram profile should be a business profile and it needs to be connected to a Facebook Page that you are the admin of. Each Facebook page can have only one linked Instagram page. To connect your Instagram business page to a Facebook fan page, go to the Facebook area ‘Manage Page’->’Settings’->’Instagram’.

To grant Fanpage Karma with the necessary permissions for your profile try the following steps:

1. Please go to the profile page:

https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=PROFILES

2. Click on the Add-profile-Button and choose the network.

For Facebook or Instagram, a popup from Facebook will appear.

3. This is the crucial step: Click on Edit Settings and choose all profiles and all permissions.
4. Save the settings. Your pages should now appear with all rights and data available in Fanpage Karma.

Did that help?

If that did not work, there is a sure way to restore the rights:

1. Log out of Fanpage Karma.
2. Go to both URLs 

https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications and https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools 

and in one of them you will find our Fanpage Karma App. Remove it from there.

3. Log in to Fanpage Karma and allow all permission requests.
4. Then, a dialog will pop up “Choose what you allow“. Click on it.
5. Pay attention that “Access your Facebook ads and related stats“ is activated.

Only the admin of the account can change the booked version. In the account settings, you will find the overview of your booked tools and versions.

1. Click on “Upgrade Now”
2. Select the desired version
3. Click “Confirm binding order”

Watch out

When changing versions, additional costs may arise. Go to https://www.fanpagekarma.com/plans to find all pricing information.

See your Account settings to find the overview of the users of the account.

1. Click the “Swap” button next to the user you want to replace

2. Enter the e-mail address of the person you wish to take over the license and confirm with “Invite”.

Once the user has accepted the invitation, he is unlocked for the booked version.

An admin has full access to the account settings, is able to order paid subscriptions and licenses, view invoices, and also to manage the settings for the team.

Admins can manage the account without being activated for any paid subscription themselves.

To turn a user into an admin:

1. Open the team settings
2. Move the mouse over the user, activate the checkbox “Administrator” and save

The user now has to log out and in again to continue as admin.

The termination must be done by the account admin.

1. Go to the settings under subscription & team
2. Click “Cancel subscription”

All users keep their Fanpage Karma license until the end of the already paid period. Afterwards all user accounts will be downgraded to the FREE plan. You can change the plan again at any time.

Further information can be found here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/terms

To pay your subscription on Fanpage Karma you can select between Bank Transfer (IBAN/SWIFT), Direct Debit (within the European Union only) and Credit Card (Mastercard, VISA, American Express). You can change the method of payment here.

All payments include an PDF invoice, sent by email.

See your Account settings to find all your invoices, including the details of the payment and the option to view and download them.

In the account settings you can find an overview of the data that will be shown on your bills. You can adjust the invoice data here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=ACCOUNT_BILLING

In the account settings you will find an overview of the users in your account. Here you can assign free licenses.

Caution

Adding another license will result in additional costs. You can find more information here.

You can manage it here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=ACCOUNT_BILLING by clicking on ‘edit’ in the area ‘address’

You’ll find the option in our settings: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=ACCOUNT_BILLING

We do not show ages, gender and locations of fans yet. This is a feature that will come soon. It will be available for your own profiles as it is private data. 

What you can do is to check some demographic data for the most active fans of your own Facebook pages. Click on the ‘show details’ icon of your own Facebook page on the dashboard and check the section ‘Influencers’ – you will see statistics for the fans that interact most with your page – e.g. their countries of origin. 

The function ‘Public dashboard’ allows you to publically share a dashboard with viewers who are not on Fanpage Karma. They will not be  able to change or edit it. You can learn more here: https://blog.fanpagekarma.com/2019/11/28/new-public-dashboard-share-live-analyses-with-clients-and-colleagues/

Each additional public dashboard costs 99 EUR, but some of the plans already include one into their price. For example, the GOLD edition includes one public dashboard. You can check here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/plans

The best solution here would be to first check the metric icon legend below the dashboard, which explains the symbols indicated in the KPIs overview of the dashboard.

Please NOTE that some KPIs (eg. reach, impressions) are available only for your own profiles with valid access permissions.

Also some KPIs (eg. fans-related KPIs: engagement, number of fans etc) start being calculated by Fanpage Karma only from the moment this page was added to our system (by you or any other user). 

In case you are looking at cross-network KPIs, you should always pay attention that only the social networks marked in black can be analysed by this particular KPI. The ones that are blurred out are not available for this metric.

You should be the admin of the advertising account to evaluate paid likes and comments for Instagram with Fanpage Karma. If you are not the administrator of this profile, you can only see the organic likes/comments for Instagram in our tool.

The posts you are looking at were probably promoted. They have likes that come from paid views. Unfortunately, according to Instagram you need to be an administrator to see the amount of paid likes, reach etc. in a third-party app like Fanpage Karma. So Instagram only delivers the organic likes for those posts for non-admins. However, they do show the total number in the app. That is very confusing and nobody knows why they do it like this.   Facebook always shows the total number, so there is no confusion. 

If you own the profile, you will be able to see all data third-party tools like Fanpage Karma. If not, you can only see the organic likes, comments etc.

In addition, Instagram unfortunately does not provide any statistics on reels.

Another possible reason is that the data in Fanpage Karma are recalculated once a day which might cause differences too. You can recalculate the data anytime by clicking on “Update” in the Discovery Section of the profile.

You can find all the available KPIs with the descriptions here: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/metrics/

Sure! You can change the design of your reports here: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/settings?view=ANALYTICS_REPORTS

Yes, you can analyse your own business pages in LinkedIn. The profiles of your competitors unfortunately are not available anymore because of Linkedin’s privacy policy.

Some of our KPIs are sometimes not measured the same way as e.g. Facebook does. You can find all the available KPIs with the descriptions here: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/metrics/

The profiles are automatically updated once a day around midnight UTC. You can access live data by either using our live report or by adding live charts to a report. Activate the ‘Real-Time Update’ in the top right corner in the report settings and your data will be updated every 10 minutes.

You can set automated notifications in the area ‘Alerts’. You will find them in the area ‘more’->’features’. 

There are three types of alerts:

• The Morning Report summarizes the activities of your social media profiles from the last day and shows the most important key figures and posts. Every Monday there is also a summary of the last week
• Post Alert – Here you will receive an e-mail notification as soon as a Facebook page posts something. You can either add your own pages or those of the competitors. So you always stay up to date, and know what your competitors are doing!
• Shitstorm alert – you can also be notified by email if an unusually high number of reactions occur on a Facebook Page. You can adjust how many reactions are extraordinary for you and then you will be notified when this number is exceeded.

You can also set automated reports from your dashboards on a weekly or monthly basis by clicking on ‘Export’.

A possible reason is that this dashboard is managed by someone else in your team and is set in such a way that other people cannot change anything. So you should ask this person to change this setting by clicking on the button ‘share’.

You can add your own self-defined tags to your content when creating charts in the Analytics section and thus also qualitatively evaluate your posts. Alternatively, you can use the ready-made report ‘Tagging’ and start your analysis directly. Check out our tutorials on this topic here: https://academy.fanpagekarma.com/en/how-to-find-which-posts-work-in-your-industry/

Empty fields

1. Key figure does not exist for corresponding social media network (example: there are no shares on Instagram)

2. There is a lack of data needed to calculate the value

Retrospective pulling of historical data (example: fans) is not possible via the official APIs of the networks Historical data is only available from the moment you add a profile to Fanpage Karma, so it may be that metrics that are based on historical data can not be calculated for certain time periods.)

Values will appear blurred out in your dashboard if you do not have the necessary insights rights for the profile. For example, you can not evaluate reach metrics for profiles if you are not their admin.

Your Instagram profile must be an Instagram Business Profile. Personal Instagram profiles can not be analyzed and added to dashboards.

Instagram explains how to convert your own Instagram profile at https://help.instagram.com/502981923235522.

The value of likes and comments in your dashboard is the value of organic likes and comments on Instagram. Paid likes and comments are not included. Only admins of the advertising accounts can evaluate paid likes and comments.

Fanpage Karma differentiates the key figures “Likes (total)” for organic and “Likes (paid)” for paid likes.

Fanpage Karma collects the data of a profile from the moment it was first entered into our database. Some key figures can be requested from the social networks for the time before the first entry, for example the number of posts or interactions. The number of followers, on the other hand, can usually not be recorded retrospectively. Some networks make an exception for the users’ own profiles and allow historical data to be recorded, for example Facebook. According to the networks, some of these key figures may only be displayed for the users’ own profiles, for example reach and impressions. These numbers are never visible to strangers in Fanpage Karma either.

The historical data that a user can view depends on the Fanpage Karma version, the specific key figure, who owns the profile, the data policy of the social network, and when the profile was first entered into Fanpage Karma. Taking these factors into account, Fanpage Karma always shows the maximum amount of available data.

If this is not the case and you added the profile a long time ago please check the pricing plan you are currently using. With some of them only a limited historical archive is available: https://www.fanpagekarma.com/plans

They are sorted by the number of interactions, likes, comments and shares.

After adding the profile to the dashboard, hover over the profile and press ‘Show details’.
