We need to have some of the KPIs calculated. They are:

Sentiment is the positive, neutral, or negative mentions about your brand, product or services over a given time period.
Sentiment Ratio = positive, neutral or negative mentions /All brand mentions

Audience Engagement is the amount of engagement or interest that your social media audience have on your social media presence and activities.
Audience Engagement = (Comments+Replies+Likes+Shares+Trackbacks)/Total Views

Share of Voice is the mentions of your brand, product or services in social media (i.e., articles, blogs, comments, Tweets, videos, etc.) against your competitors.
Share of Voice =  Brand's, Product's or Services' Mentions/Total Mentions(Brand + All Competitors)

Conversation reach is the reach of your activities(like publish of posts, images, videos, status updates, etc.) in social media channels.
Conversation Reach = Total People Interested/Total Audience Exposure

Also there are many other metrics like Social Media Issue Resolution Rate, Time Taken for Resolution, Customer Satisfaction Score through Social Media, etc.
