Additionally, benchmarking your page to your competitors, industry or region allows you to monitor and compare yourself to pages in which you are not the administrator. Why are some Socialbakers statistics different from the statistics provided by Facebook Insights? There are following reasons for this difference: The time zone which we are calculating the data from Facebook pages sometimes differs from the time zone used by Facebook Insights. Private data are the source for Facebook Insights. Public data are the source for Socialbakers Analytics. These data are aggregated at different time.
