Keyhole’s Profile Analytics gives you access to in-depth data across major social platforms, helping you track performance, understand your audience, and refine your content strategy. But what you can see—and whether you need to authenticate your account—varies by channel.

This guide breaks down the available metrics across X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube including:

  • What’s visible by default

  • What unlocks with authentication

  • How each platform’s Dashboard, Posts, and Sub-Pages are structured in Keyhole

We’ve outlined everything in a consistent format so you can quickly compare platforms, understand your data access, and make the most of Keyhole’s analytics—no guesswork required.


X/Twitter Analytics

Keyhole offers X/Twitter analytics to help you track tweet performance, audience engagement, and account growth. You’ll get access to core metrics like likes, retweets, replies, and impressions without authentication.

However, to unlock the full picture—including Engagement Rate, Avg Engagements per Tweet, Follower Growth Rate, and Mentions—you’ll need to authenticate your account.

Why Authenticate Your X/Twitter Account?

Authentication unlocks the missing context behind your performance. While basic tweet metrics are available without connecting your account, key engagement insights and brand visibility are limited.

With authentication, you can:

  • Track brand mentions – See when your account is referenced in tweets, even outside replies or tags.

  • Complete the picture – Access Engagement Rate, Follower Growth Rate, and other metrics that help you evaluate overall performance.

  • Unlock trends – Fill in missing data on the Dashboard, Profile Timeline, and Tag Performance to better understand what’s working.

Without authentication, tweet-level data is available—but your broader engagement story remains incomplete.


Instagram Analytics

Keyhole offers Instagram analytics to help you track post performance, audience engagement, and follower trends. You’ll get access to basic post-level metrics—likes, comments, total engagements, and boosted vs. organic breakdowns—without authentication.

To access additional insights—including Reach, Impressions, Engagement Rate, and Saves on posts, plus key Dashboard metrics, Mentions, Stories, and Follower Insights—you’ll need to authenticate your account.

  • Access follower insights – Unlock audience demographics like location, age, and gender.

  • Unlock visibility metrics on the Dashboard – Reach per Post, Impressions, Engagement Rate, and Follower Growth Rate.

  • Access deeper post-level data – Reach, Impressions, Engagement Rate, and Saves.

Everything else—likes, comments, total engagements, and boosted vs. organic performance—is available without authentication.


Facebook Analytics

Keyhole offers Facebook analytics to help you track post performance, engagement trends, and page growth. You’ll get access to core metrics like likes, comments, shares, and total engagements without authentication.
