Social Media

StoryChief fetches stats periodically for social channels. This means we can have a delay when compared to the channel in question. The specifics are listed in the article about social reports.

Stories

If you're using other tools to track your pageviews (ex: Google Analytics) differences between both platforms can occur for multiple reasons, especially between the number of reads and number of views:

  • You might have configured Google Analytics to ignore certain User-Agents and/or IP addresses.

  • Your visitors might be using ad blockers that blocked Google Analytics but not StoryChief (or vice-versa).
