What is "Total Views by Story"?
The Total Views by Story metric provides detailed performance data for each individual Instagram Story you post, tracking how many times each story has been viewed by users. This granular insight allows you to identify which story content types, themes, or formats generate the most engagement and audience interest. By analyzing this data, you can understand what makes certain stories more compelling than others, whether it's the visual style, content type, posting time, or interactive elements used. This metric is particularly valuable for businesses that want to optimize their Instagram Stories strategy, as it helps identify successful content patterns and enables you to create more engaging story content that drives higher view counts and audience interaction.
Example: A restaurant posts five Instagram Stories showcasing different menu items throughout the day. The Total Views by Story metric shows that the dessert story received 2,500 views, while the appetizer story got 1,800 views. This data helps the restaurant understand that dessert content resonates more with their audience, leading them to feature more dessert content in future stories.
