Executive Summary

March was a strong month for Empire Truck Sales across all fronts. With 17 posts published across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, the brand reached over 33,000 people on Facebook alone and drove more than 2,769 website sessions from organic social — consistent growth from the prior two months.

Organic social visitors continue to engage at a significantly higher rate than the site average — 51.82% vs. 39% overall — a clear signal that social content is pulling in relevant, interested audiences. New user growth hit its highest point in three months at 5,054, and follower counts are climbing steadily across all three platforms.

Note: Conversion event data (contact form submissions, phone clicks) was not available for this reporting period. Recommend configuring GA4 key events to connect site traffic to lead activity in future months — especially given Empire's stated goal of driving traffic that converts to quote requests and calls.

What the Numbers Tell Us

Facebook is carrying the reach. With 33K impressions and 1,003 link clicks, Facebook is the dominant driver of social traffic to the site. Spotlight-style content — featuring individual team members and specific trucks — was the top performer, which maps well to Empire's audience of buyers who want to know who they're doing business with.

LinkedIn is punching above its weight. With just 821 impressions, LinkedIn still generated 220 link clicks — a click-through ratio that significantly outperforms the other platforms. This suggests a highly relevant professional audience that's worth investing in further.

Social visitors are engaged, not just browsing. The 51.82% engagement rate from social-sourced traffic versus 39% site-wide tells us that people coming from social are spending real time with the site — reading, clicking, exploring. This is the right kind of traffic for Empire's lead-gen goal.

The locations page is the top destination — optimize it. The Jackson, MS locations page is where social visitors are going first. Making sure that page has a clear call to action (directions, phone number, hours, contact form) would directly connect this traffic to real business inquiries.

Recommendations for Next Month

Set Up GA4 Conversion Events

Configure key events for contact form submissions, phone number clicks, and quote requests so we can tie social traffic directly to lead activity and measure against Empire's goal.

Optimize the Locations Page

The #1 landing page from social should have a frictionless path to contact — clear hours, click-to-call phone number, and a simple inquiry form above the fold.

Double Down on Spotlight Content

Team and truck spotlights were the top performers on Facebook. Continuing this format builds trust and personality into the brand — and tends to drive the highest engagement.

Lean Into LinkedIn

With a 26.8% click-through rate on impressions, LinkedIn's audience is clicking. Increasing post frequency and testing industry-specific messaging could meaningfully grow this channel's contribution.
