๐Ÿ“Š Where to find your insights

All you have to do is ask Apollo for an overview of your recent performance and key metrics.


๐Ÿ”ฎ What Orphiq tracks

Post performance

  • Views, likes, comments, shares for each video

  • Which posts are outperforming your average

  • Trends over time (are you growing, plateauing, or dipping?)

Audience engagement

  • What content types get the most interaction

  • Which posts spark conversation (comments) vs passive watching (views only)

Timing patterns

  • When your posts tend to perform best

  • Posting frequency and its correlation with engagement


๐Ÿ’ก What the data tells you

Metric

What it means

What to do

High views, low engagement

People scroll past but don't connect

Hook isn't landing - test different openings

High comments

Content sparks conversation

Do more of this - it signals community

Shares

People want others to see it

This content has reach potential - double down

Consistent posting = growth

Algorithm rewards reliability

Build a posting rhythm you can maintain

One post outperforms

Something resonated

Study it - what was different?


๐Ÿค– How Apollo uses your insights

Apollo doesn't just show you data - it uses it to guide recommendations:

  • Content suggestions - Apollo prioritizes formats and themes that perform for you

  • Posting timing - When your audience is most active shapes Apollo's scheduling advice

  • Release planning - Apollo factors your social momentum into rollout strategy

  • Pattern recognition - Apollo notices what you might miss (e.g., "Your behind-the-scenes posts consistently outperform promotional ones")

You can also ask Apollo directly:

"What's working best on my TikTok right now?"

"Why do you think that post performed so well?"

"Based on my TikTok data, what should I post this week?"


๐Ÿ“ˆ Making sense of your performance

A few principles:

Don't obsess over single posts. One viral video or one flop doesn't define your trajectory. Look at trends over 10-20 posts.

Engagement rate matters more than raw numbers. 500 views with 50 comments is often better than 5,000 views with 2 comments.

Consistency beats virality. Steady growth from reliable posting usually outperforms chasing trends you don't connect with.

Your audience tells you what they want. The data is feedback. If something resonates, they're asking for more of it.


โš ๏ธ Data not showing up?

If your insights aren't appearing:

  1. Make sure TikTok is connected (Context โ†’ Connected Platforms)

  2. Give it a few hours after first connecting - data takes time to sync

  3. Check that your TikTok account is public (private accounts have limited data access)

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Ask Apollo to analyze your account and give you new directions to explore:

"Analyze my TikTok and give me content ideas to grow"

Apollo can spot patterns you might not notice when you're too close to the data.
