Best suited for

Metricool is particularly suited to a workflow built around social analytics: collect source material, condense it with a planning calendar and turn the result into a useful asset through competitor benchmarking.

The reason to choose Metricool is its specific combination of social analytics, a scheduling calendar and competitor benchmarking; this combination distinguishes it within the 'Social Media & Ads' category from purely general-purpose or specialist solutions.

Limitations

If you do not post regularly or do not want to measure channels properly, Metricool adds little value.

Strengths

Campaign dashboards with AI insights

Assign organic posts and paid ads to the same campaign to receive combined metrics, top posts and editable AI insights for analysis.

A practical first project

Set up a social performance dashboard: connect channels, check the best posting times, monitor competitors and derive your next editorial plan.

Break this asset into five channel variants and assess each by hook, audience and expected contribution to social analytics.

Two ideas for your working day

  1. Treat LinkedIn posting times as an experiment

    Schedule two comparable LinkedIn posts at different recommended times and then compare results. On LinkedIn, times are based on general studies rather than an individual measurement of your followers’ activity. Repeat the comparison with similar topics before turning it into a fixed publishing schedule.

  2. Investigate missing time data

    If the timing overview stays empty, first check the connection for the relevant channel and its native statistics. For TikTok, the corresponding activity data must be visible in the professional account. This prevents you from interpreting an empty display as a supposedly poor posting time.

Metricool has the best analytics and reports I have used in a social media tool, and covers an unusually large number of platforms, including Google Business Profile and Threads.
