Things to consider when investing in monitoring tools

• Automated sentiment is a guidence at best• How does the tool fetch data from social networks?

– Do they have the Twitter Firehose?– Are they crawling data from Facebook or connected directly via the developer API?

• You will only see data from public profiles and pages

• Do you need to monitor other languages than English?– How well does the tool filter languages?

• Is there a lot of noise in your industry?– How well does the tool allow you to filter data, include and exclude sources?

• Who will ues the tool internally in your organisation?– How easy is it to use? How much time is needed to be spent on training?

• Can you extract the data?– Fancy PDF’s are nice, but can you extract the raw data and suply your number crunchers?

Things to consider when investing in publishing tools

• Social networks supported– The selection of social networks may be important for you, but ”Supporting

Facebook” may mean just being able to post status updates on your wall– Not all Social networks has as advanced API to provide as Facebook

• Team collaboration– Can you assign your team members with tasks and approval teams?

• Connect with your Web Analytics and CRM software– Is your Web analytic and CRM tool supported?– Is there a link tracking functionality built in such as bit.ly?

• Measurement– Is your social media metrics being aggregated?

• Export data– Can you export your data automatically via an API?

• Will they be there tomorrow?


Tools overlap each other• Monitoring tools often offer basic Twitter/Facebook

publishing• Publishing tools often offering basic searches on Twitter• Analytics/Measurement is sometimes built in, but is it what

you need?

ASSES WHAT METRICS APPLIES TO YOUR BUSINESS

Part Three


As with everything in business; It’s all about your Goals and

Objectives.There’s a sea of metrics from

social media channels, how do you make any sense from them?


Back to basics: Goals, objectives, strategies, tactics

Type DescriptionGoals High-level planning targets that your marketing plan will achieve.

Usually somewhat abstract and unmeasurable.

Objectives The measurable results that combine to achieve a goal. These are concrete and measurable.

Strategies The broad plan to fulfil and objective. Like goals, these are more abstract than tactics.

Tactics Actionable tasks/programmes that supports the strategies. Concrete things you are planning to do.
