Goal metric
The single number chosen in advance to show whether a goal moved.

What “Goal metric” means
A goal metric is the one figure you agree to judge by before the work starts. Reach has views or profile views. Sales has link clicks alongside orders in your own records. Faster answers has the time a message waits. Choosing it early matters, because afterward every number looks important and the one that happened to rise gets the credit.
A goal metric needs a baseline, noted on day one, and a date to look again. Link AI's Analytics lists four candidates: profile views and link clicks, which suit reach and sales goals, plus total interactions and engagement rate. Hours spent and reply times are figures to log yourself. The 30-day goal check shows how to use them.
