Analyzing your audience
The Audience tab within your analytics dashboard displays information on your audience demographics, such as age, gender, and location. This allows you to learn more about the people that matter to your business, and in turn, create content most suited to them.
📝 Although audience data for X/Twitter is available when viewing native X/Twitter Analytics, this data is not made available through Gnip, which is the X/Twitter enterprise data service that we use. Similarly, we are not currently pulling in data for LinkedIn. Therefore, the data available within the Audience tab is limited to Facebook and Instagram. We really apologize for any inconvenience.
