Facebook Check In Question (5 posts)

  • I have a new client that has people checking into their storefront regularly. Is there a report that I can run to see who is checking in? They would like to know which patients are checking into their office.

    Any suggestions? Or do you have a similar situation?

  • Since no-one else has answered as yet, and I haven’t had specific experience with this, I googled it  If your client is using Storefront Social it provides many great features but I couldn’t find anywhere on the site that specified that it supplied stats on visitors.

    However, in a further Google search, check out box #2 on this url where they suggest checking stats on visits by setting up Google Analytics – it will give you some pretty specific visit stats but cannot identify the names of the visitors.

    Even with Google Analytics on your website, you can get specific information on the visits by day/week/month and from where but can’t give you specifics about the individual visitors.

    I would think that if you could have a “sign-in” process to get access to the storefront, in that way you could identify your visitors.

    Good luck!

  • Thanks, Diane.  They have a very basic facebook site and have not set up Storefront Social. I was hoping that we would be able to find out who was checking in, but I couldn’t find that anywhere.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and to provide me with the links above. I really appreciate your help!

    Hopefully I will be able to return the favor in the future.Sheila

  • @sheilahoeft Unfortunately, there is no way to see the exact people who check in at a Facebook place even if you are the Admin.  I think that is frustrating!

  • @sheilahoeft Has your client thought about also incorporating FourSquare for check-ins? Once a business is claimed on FourSquare the metrics are available and there is more detailed information on those checking in.
