Social Media Listening FAQs
What is social listening?
Social listening is traditionally the brand monitoring and reporting of your brand’s social channels. While this is an important part of our approach to social listening, we go further – looking at the broader landscape, understanding the wider audience around your brand, and how that relates (or doesn’t) to the discussions around key topics that matter in your sector.
How does social listening work?
At a basic level, we can do social listening by looking at how social media users respond to your brand’s posts or Tweets through messages sent directly to your brand. However, as mentioned above, that’s missing a big piece of the puzzle.
That’s why we look to analyse data at scale. We do this in a similar way to a search engine, filtering through all available posts for particular words or phrases so that we can capture the entire conversation around your brand or a specific topic.
Then, based on machine-learned linguistic algorithms, we can determine overall trends of sentiment, passion, interest and other metrics that help us understand the nature of those conversations.
While analysis at scale is important for understanding the wider picture, we can also then delve into the specific posts that we have found to help us gather insights into the exact way users are interacting with your brand and identify where particular conversations or trends may have started.
