Who This Is For
◉ Founders using both their personal and business profiles for growth
◉ Creators and consultants with a hybrid presence (personal voice, professional offer)
◉ Small teams or solo marketers who need clarity, not complexity
And especially for anyone searching:
◉ “analytics for personal and business social media accounts”
◉ “how to track personal Instagram profile”
◉ “tool that shows both personal and business metrics”
The Core Problem: Split Identity, Split Data
Most tools assume you're either a brand or a creator but never both.
You post founder thoughts on your personal LinkedIn.
You share polished content on your brand’s Instagram.
You experiment with Reels or Threads from your personal handle.
But when it’s time to track performance?
You're stuck toggling between apps or, worse, relying on screenshots and guesswork.
What to Do Next
Don’t chase “all-in-one” unless it fits your real workflow.
You may need two tools that complement each other or one smart tracking process that covers what matters most.
Let’s explore the most useful tools in 2025:
1. Instagram + Facebook Native Insights (Free, but Limited)
✅ Best for: quick, basic metrics on content performance (especially business accounts)
❌ Limitations: won’t show full data for personal IG/FB profiles
Tip: You can access story views, saves, and profile visits on personal IG if you convert to a Creator account (not Business).
2. Shield (LinkedIn Personal Profiles Only)
✅ Best for: tracking content reach, engagement, and growth over time for personal LinkedIn
❌ Limitations: no multi-platform tracking
Why it works: Founders posting from their personal profiles often outperform company pages. Shield gives clarity on what’s landing.
3. Metricool
✅ Best for: business pages, blogs, scheduling and basic analytics
❌ Limitations: personal Facebook and Instagram are not supported
Workaround: Use for brand accounts and track personal metrics manually or pull some insights from creator dashboards separately.
4. Notion or Airtable (Manual, Customizable)
✅ Best for: building a system that tracks what you care about
❌ Limitations: not automated
Why it's worth it: If you’re only tracking 5–6 key indicators (like saves, shares, DMs), a weekly manual check-in keeps things human and intentional.
5. Later
✅ Best for: Instagram-first brands, scheduling + visual analytics
❌ Limitations: doesn’t support personal profile analytics
Pro tip: Their blog and content performance features are underrated and great for building content calendars too.
Bonus: Rethink the Word "Analytics"
“Analytics” doesn’t always mean charts and dashboards. Sometimes, it means noticing what drives:
⏺ Inbound messages
⏺ Referral DMs
⏺ Story replies
⏺ Higher quality followers
⏺ Email opt-ins after specific posts
That’s the kind of ROI founders actually feel.
And often, it lives outside of tools.
What to Do Next
Create a simple weekly ritual:
⏺ Monday: check native insights
⏺ Wednesday: log key personal profile data in Notion
⏺ Friday: review what posts triggered actual client action
No tech stress. Just clarity.
Final Thought
You don’t need a perfect tool.
You need a clear mirror.
Whether you’re posting from your name or your brand, your audience doesn’t care which profile it came from; they care how it made them feel, what it signaled, and whether they trust you more because of it.
Start there.
Track what matters.
And let your tools follow you, not the other way around.
