Installation and initial permits

First, choose the app that best suits your needs: Analytics Pro, GhostViewer Lite either SocialScope. Then:

  1. Create your account on the website or download the app from the official store (App Store or Google Play).
  2. Link your profile via OAuth: Grant read-only permission to public Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn stats—you’ll never share your password.
  3. Authorize notifications by email or in the app; this way, you'll receive alerts about peak visits or unusual changes.

With these steps, your tool will begin collecting data automatically, without the risk of violating the platform's privacy policies.

Set up your alerts and dashboard

Each tool offers key settings to customize your experience:

  • Analytics Pro- Go to Settings > Alerts and set daily thresholds (e.g., +20 % traffic). Turn on instant notifications via email and Slack. Select which networks to prioritize and when to receive summaries.
  • GhostViewer Lite- Open the Widgets section and select the quick view for today and yesterday. If you want a reminder on your home screen, add the recent visits widget and set it to refresh every hour.
  • SocialScopeIn your Account Settings, schedule your "Weekly Summary," which arrives first thing Monday morning with a trend graph and top three traffic sources. Enable automatic PDF export, and if you're a Pro user, you can also receive CSVs.

By customizing these settings, you'll always have the data that matters most to you at hand without having to log into the dashboard every time.

How to interpret metrics and adjust your strategy

Having charts isn't enough: you need to translate numbers into action:

  1. Identify visitor peaks. Does it happen after posting an article, story, or link in a group? Repeat it and take advantage of that format or topic.
  2. Analyze peak traffic hours. Schedule your key posts (launches, polls, or sensitive content) in these blocks to maximize visibility.
  3. Difference between followers and non-followersIf many visits come from non-followers, work on calls to action to convert them into subscribers or friends.
  4. Correlates demographics with contentIf your key audience is 25–34 years old in Mexico City, create content tailored to their interests and local time zone.

This measurement → analysis → action cycle will allow you to grow organically and securely, without exposing third-party personal data.

Good safety and maintenance practices

To keep your account and your followers safe:

  • Review permits quarterly. Access the linked apps section on each network and revoke access to tools you no longer use.
  • Use unique passwords and 2FA. Even if you only grant read access, protecting your primary account prevents the risk of impersonation.
  • Do not share screenshots with sensitive data on public networks; anonymize names or delete segments of comments.
  • Update the app or the browser extension whenever it receives a security patch.

These measures minimize the possibility of leaks and ensure that your analysis remains reliable.
