A social media audit is carried out in order to:
• evaluate the current uses of social media by an organisation or its competitors
• identify opportunities
• to gain insight into the motivations and behaviors of a specific target audience

• The information included in a social media audit therefore depends on:
– The purpose of the social media audit (insight/benchmarking/evaluation)
– The organization/person carrying it out (insider view/outsider view)

Your analysis should include:
• a description of your chosen subject (company/public persona/event/museum/NGO) and what they do online in general terms (how many channels do they use, with what purpose, what is their target audience)
• a justification of your chosen subject • a description of your competitor and what they do online in general terms (how many
channels do they use, with what purpose, what is their target audience)• a justification of your choice of competitor (include a perceptual map to support your
justification) • a comparison and analysis of the social media use between your chosen subject and
their online competitors (choose one channel only; what do they use it for; how effectively; what can you say about their use and knowledge of social media and strategy)
• a list of a minimum 3 recommendations for your subject to improve their online activity (make these actionable).

Tip:
Think beyond vanity metrics!
Focus better on ratios and conversions…. • posts/comments/shares in a day• replies vs RTs/per post• responses vs information push per week

Conclusions
• A social media audit is a complex exercise
• For the insight gained to be valuable, the data recorded should ALWAYS – Consider the purpose of the audit– Go beyond vanity metrics (check again the AMEC Social Media Measurement
Framework for help)
• The recommendations resulting from a social media audit should be actionable (that is, they can be easily translated and included into the strategy and content plan and thus, implemented)
