What is the Social Health score?
At Willow, we believe that your success on social media depends on 6 key factors:

Learn more about these 6 key factors in our e-book: Win on Social Media.
The Social Health score in Willow tells you how well you're doing on three of these factors.

-
Consistency
Posting regularly and stay on-message week-in and week-out. -
Content Mix
Posting a balanced variety of content types so your audience stays interested. -
Involving employees
Ensuring that employees engage with and share your content, and post regularly on their own socials.
How does it help you?
As a business or a personal brand on social media, it is easy to end up chasing likes and followers. You can buy likes and you can buy followers but that doesn't solve the underlying issue.
The Social Health score ensures that you focus on the more important things first. These metrics help you build a more sustainable social media presence by putting a strong process in place.
Good results, such as likes, followers, and reach, are then just a conclusion of sticking to a good process.
