Presented by The Online Project                                                                          2




                                  Why read
                                  this report?
                                  This report allows you to benchmark the performance of your
                                  activity on Facebook against that of your industry peers in the
                                  Middle East. The last few years have witnessed staggering growth
                                  in brands’ adoption of social media platforms, such as Facebook,
                                  as a way to engage with consumers and, consequentially,
                                  influence their purchasing decisions. Terms such as “Engagement
                                  Rate” and “Talking About This” have become commonplace in the
                                  social media industry, but what does it all mean when determining
                                  the strength of a brand’s presence on Facebook?

                                  The purpose of this report is to identify the key performance
                                  indicators (KPIs), and showcase the behavior of the top corporate
                                  Facebook pages, per industry, in the MENA region. We will
                                  identify and analyze eight core industries, according to five
                                  essential KPIs, in order to evaluate who are the top performing
                                  pages per industry. We also identified a benchmark based on
                                  calculating an average of the top ten pages for each KPI per
                                  industry. Brands can then use these benchmarks as a reference
                                  point to evaluate the performance of their pages.

                                  What differentiates this report from other versions that rank brand
                                  pages, aside from its scope, is the inclusion of five core KPIs that
                                  are used simultaneously to assess the overall performance of the
                                  brand pages. Thus, the selection of the KPIs is critical. They are,

                                     •	 Community size;             •	 Content performance;
                                     •	 “Talking about this”;       •	 Response time.
                                     •	 Engagement ratio;

                                  How to
                                  make use
                                  of this report
                                  As the first report of its kind to encompass the entire Middle
                                  East, the findings will have great impact on the evaluation of
                                  the success of a brand’s presence on Facebook and how it’s
                                  being measured.

                                  Not only will this report provide companies with a benchmark
                                  to measure their performance against, but it will also allow
                                  anyone from social media enthusiasts to brand managers to
                                  extract insights and inspiration from the top performing pages
                                  in the industry.

                                  Methodology
                                  The information herein reflects a joint study by The Online
                                  Project and SocialWatchlist.com. The data pertaining to the Key
                                  Performance Indicators (KPIs) discussed above were collected
                                  during August 2012. Whereas data pertaining to the growth
                                  figures of the top ten performing pages per industry were
                                  collected during the second quarter of 2012.

                                  Before proceeding with the findings, we will take a look at a
                                  breakdown of the formulas that are comprised in each of our KPIs.

                                  1.	 Community size:
                                      This KPI indicates the number of likes a page received, and
                                      clearly shows the pages that have adopted a fan-growth
                                      driven strategy with their presence on Facebook. Since it’s
                                      encouraged to continuously strive to increase the size of the
                                      community, there are no benchmarks regarding the ideal fan
                                      base number for any community on Facebook.

                                  2.	 Talking about this:
                                      This KPI indicates the number of fans that interact with the page
                                      in actions such as new page likes, comments, posts by fans,
                                      shares, photo tagging, and other interactions. It clearly shows
                                      the pages that focus on increasing engagement with their fans.

                                        Talking About This = Page Likes + Wall Posts + Post Likes +
                                        Comments + Shares + Answers + RSVPing an Event + Mentions
                                        + Photo Tagging + Checking in at Your Place



Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East
Presented by The Online Project                                                                                                                     5




                                  3.	 Engagement ratio:
                                      This metric indicates the number of fans that interact with the
                                      brand according to “Talking About This” with respect to the
                                      “Community Size”, and clearly evaluates whether the fan
                                      interactions are qualitative or just quantitative in nature.

                                           Engagement Ration = (Talking About This ) / (Community Size)


                                  4.	 Content performance:
                                      Content performance indicates the average number of fans
                                      that interact with the content that is posted by the page on
                                      their newsfeeds. The interactions comprise mostly of likes,
                                      comments, and shares. A sample of 30 randomly collected
                                      posts from the past 3-6 months was used to calculate these
                                      interactions, with respect to the “Community Size”. This KPI
                                      clearly evaluates the strength and performance of the posted
                                      content, relative to the size of the community.

                                           Content Performace = (Likes + Shares + Comments) /
                                           (Community Size)


                                  5.	 Response time (customer service performance):
                                      This KPI indicates the average amount of time the page takes
                                      to respond to its fans, by acting in the capacity of a customer
                                      service agent. 30 random inquires were extracted from each
                                      page as a sample to calculate the time taken to respond to an
                                      inquiry, and ultimately, the efficiency of the page’s customers.
                                      The response time KPI was omitted for the following industries:
                                      Food & Beverage, Automotive, TV Channels, and FMCGs.
                                      The reasoning behind this is that they lack the strong customer
                                      service orientation that the other pages possess on their pages.

                                  Based on continuous daily monitoring of thousands of Facebook pages in the Middle East, the number
                                  of likes, people talking about and engagement rates were pulled directly with no assumptions, subjective
                                  opinions, or custom rating system. Each page is manually verified to ensure it is official, and regularly spot-

                                  Key Takeaways
                                  •	 Results should be benchmarked and analyzed against
                                     competitors in the same industry; a seemingly low engagement
                                     rate in one industry could be a top performer in another.

                                  •	 Excelling in one or two KPIs should not be an excuse for lagging
                                     in others. It is extremely difficult to be the top performer across
                                     the board, however every effort should be made to maintain a
                                     certain standard of achievement as to avoid being knocked out
                                     of the top 10 altogether.

                                  •	 Brands should not solely focus on increasing their fan base as
                                     an indicator of their success – a common misconception. The
                                     engagement rate is a good indicator of how relevant a brand is
                                     to its customers and how much the fan base listens to it. Brands
                                     should be constantly looking for creative ways to engage with
                                     their fan base, supplemented with advertising for growth.

                                  •	 With the release of this report, and others like it, brands can no
                                     longer hide behind information asymmetry. Brands who have
                                     an average response time longer than 24 hours, while their
                                     competitors are keeping it under 10 minutes, might be attacked

Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East

  • 1. Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East September 2012 Presented by The Online Project
  • 2. Presented by The Online Project 2 Why read this report? This report allows you to benchmark the performance of your activity on Facebook against that of your industry peers in the Middle East. The last few years have witnessed staggering growth in brands’ adoption of social media platforms, such as Facebook, as a way to engage with consumers and, consequentially, influence their purchasing decisions. Terms such as “Engagement Rate” and “Talking About This” have become commonplace in the social media industry, but what does it all mean when determining the strength of a brand’s presence on Facebook? The purpose of this report is to identify the key performance indicators (KPIs), and showcase the behavior of the top corporate Facebook pages, per industry, in the MENA region. We will identify and analyze eight core industries, according to five essential KPIs, in order to evaluate who are the top performing pages per industry. We also identified a benchmark based on calculating an average of the top ten pages for each KPI per industry. Brands can then use these benchmarks as a reference point to evaluate the performance of their pages. What differentiates this report from other versions that rank brand pages, aside from its scope, is the inclusion of five core KPIs that are used simultaneously to assess the overall performance of the brand pages. Thus, the selection of the KPIs is critical. They are, • Community size; • Content performance; • “Talking about this”; • Response time. • Engagement ratio; Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East
  • 3. Presented by The Online Project 3 How to make use of this report As the first report of its kind to encompass the entire Middle East, the findings will have great impact on the evaluation of the success of a brand’s presence on Facebook and how it’s being measured. Not only will this report provide companies with a benchmark to measure their performance against, but it will also allow anyone from social media enthusiasts to brand managers to extract insights and inspiration from the top performing pages in the industry. Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East
  • 4. Presented by The Online Project 4 Methodology The information herein reflects a joint study by The Online Project and SocialWatchlist.com. The data pertaining to the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) discussed above were collected during August 2012. Whereas data pertaining to the growth figures of the top ten performing pages per industry were collected during the second quarter of 2012. Before proceeding with the findings, we will take a look at a breakdown of the formulas that are comprised in each of our KPIs. 1. Community size: This KPI indicates the number of likes a page received, and clearly shows the pages that have adopted a fan-growth driven strategy with their presence on Facebook. Since it’s encouraged to continuously strive to increase the size of the community, there are no benchmarks regarding the ideal fan base number for any community on Facebook. 2. Talking about this: This KPI indicates the number of fans that interact with the page in actions such as new page likes, comments, posts by fans, shares, photo tagging, and other interactions. It clearly shows the pages that focus on increasing engagement with their fans. Talking About This = Page Likes + Wall Posts + Post Likes + Comments + Shares + Answers + RSVPing an Event + Mentions + Photo Tagging + Checking in at Your Place Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East
  • 5. Presented by The Online Project 5 3. Engagement ratio: This metric indicates the number of fans that interact with the brand according to “Talking About This” with respect to the “Community Size”, and clearly evaluates whether the fan interactions are qualitative or just quantitative in nature. Engagement Ration = (Talking About This ) / (Community Size) 4. Content performance: Content performance indicates the average number of fans that interact with the content that is posted by the page on their newsfeeds. The interactions comprise mostly of likes, comments, and shares. A sample of 30 randomly collected posts from the past 3-6 months was used to calculate these interactions, with respect to the “Community Size”. This KPI clearly evaluates the strength and performance of the posted content, relative to the size of the community. Content Performace = (Likes + Shares + Comments) / (Community Size) 5. Response time (customer service performance): This KPI indicates the average amount of time the page takes to respond to its fans, by acting in the capacity of a customer service agent. 30 random inquires were extracted from each page as a sample to calculate the time taken to respond to an inquiry, and ultimately, the efficiency of the page’s customers. The response time KPI was omitted for the following industries: Food & Beverage, Automotive, TV Channels, and FMCGs. The reasoning behind this is that they lack the strong customer service orientation that the other pages possess on their pages. Disclaimer: The data in this report was compiled by both SocialWatchlist.com and The Online Project. Based on continuous daily monitoring of thousands of Facebook pages in the Middle East, the number of likes, people talking about and engagement rates were pulled directly with no assumptions, subjective opinions, or custom rating system. Each page is manually verified to ensure it is official, and regularly spot- check their data to ensure its accuracy. Social Watchlist is privately owned and not affiliated, endorsed or sponsored by Facebook. Some of the brands mentioned in the report are or were clients of The Online Project but no preference or bias was towards any of them while collecting the data in this report.

  • 30. Presented by The Online Project 30 Key Takeaways • Results should be benchmarked and analyzed against competitors in the same industry; a seemingly low engagement rate in one industry could be a top performer in another. • Excelling in one or two KPIs should not be an excuse for lagging in others. It is extremely difficult to be the top performer across the board, however every effort should be made to maintain a certain standard of achievement as to avoid being knocked out of the top 10 altogether. • Brands should not solely focus on increasing their fan base as an indicator of their success – a common misconception. The engagement rate is a good indicator of how relevant a brand is to its customers and how much the fan base listens to it. Brands should be constantly looking for creative ways to engage with their fan base, supplemented with advertising for growth. • With the release of this report, and others like it, brands can no longer hide behind information asymmetry. Brands who have an average response time longer than 24 hours, while their competitors are keeping it under 10 minutes, might be attacked for such indifference. Facebook Benchmarks in the Middle East
