Explore the difference between Global and Local Page Data and why it is not possible to distinguish between them in the Benchmarking App. 👀
Generally, Global Page Data refers to the aggregate metrics and statistics for a Facebook Page that include data from users around the world and are related to the performance of the Facebook Page on a global scale. 💡
Global Page Data may include:
Page Likes, Follows, Reach, Engagement, and Demographics on a global scale.

Why is it not possible to distinguish between Global and Local Page Data in the Benchmarking App?
If your Facebook Page belongs to the Global structure, it is not possible to distinguish between Local and Global Data, as Facebook disabled this option some time ago.💡
More specifically, Facebook has unified all statistics for Global Pages, so even if you look directly on Facebook, you will see followers from all regions combined.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that ZoomSphere gets data directly from Facebook API, the distinction between Local and Global Data cannot be made in ZoomSphere either.

How to see data for local Facebook Pages
Local Page data on Facebook typically refer to metrics and insights specific to a particular geographic location or region.
→ When managing a Facebook Page, it's valuable to analyze data at the local level to understand the performance and engagement within specific regions. 💡
Local Page Data may include:
Page Likes, Follows, Reach, Engagement, and Demographics for a specific location.
If your Facebook page is global and has separate Facebook pages for each country, connect all of them to your ZoomSphere Administrator Account one by one.👇 Learn how.
💡 You can only have a Partial Access (Insights) role in Business Manager for connecting the Facebook Page to the Benchmarking app.
After connecting your local Facebook Pages to ZoomSphere, go to the Benchmarking App, open the app settings (top right corner), and select your Facebook Pages in the Data Sources tab. 👇
For maximum comparison, you can connect your Facebook Pages Internally and your competitor's Facebook Page Externally. ✔️
💡 Tip: The Benchmarking App shows data from the Public API. If you need to see Insights data from the Insight API, try the Analytics App.
