I went straight to engagement metrics and kind of talked myself into a corner.
Start by clarifying the goal of the question: whether it's about defining success for the product overall or for a specific feature. Then, structure your answer around a balanced set of metrics that cover user value, creator/business value, and platform health, while tying back to Meta's mission and business model.
Pro tip: Acknowledge the two-sided nature of Pages: success must be defined for both the Page owners (businesses/creators) and the end users who engage with them. Show that you understand trade-offs between short-term engagement and long-term ecosystem health.
Ask if the focus is on overall Pages product or a specific aspect (e.g., monetization, engagement). This ensures your answer is relevant and shows you think before diving in.
List the main parties: Page owners (businesses, creators), end users, and Meta as the platform. Success must be defined for each.
For Page owners: reach, engagement, conversions, retention. For users: meaningful interactions, content quality, trust. For Meta: revenue, ecosystem growth, ad effectiveness.
Explain how you would prioritize metrics based on company goals and avoid optimizing one at the expense of others (e.g., user trust vs. short-term revenue).
Connect success metrics to Meta's mission of bringing people together and building community, ensuring sustainable growth.
