Researching where your brand is mentioned in Social Media
-
Greetings from Hot & sweaty Wetherby
Ok imagine you want to launcg a socaila media campiagn for a client but before you jump into creating a facebook business page you decide to do some research first ie youw want to know if & where you brand is being discussed. So my question is:
"What social media tool can you use to identify which social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook etc) is being used to discuss a brand"
Thanks in advance,

If you an agency and can allow Sprout Social to access their social profiles, then you can just setup another group under Settings > Users & Groups. But grouping is only available in Standard, Deluxe, and Premium plans.
If you do not have access to social profiles, you "could" just add the other three brand names to your keywords and it would essentially search for your initial brand + the three others. The reporting may get a little messy, but you could easily filter things out by checking/un-checking the keyword(s).

Ive Just jumped through the subscription hoops for both Hootsuite & Sprout Social. Ive noticed they just ask for 1 account to monitor but i want to research another clients social chatter. So my question is:
"Do you have to pay extra to monitor say three brands?"
Grazie -
Thank you for all your replies, now i a actually do some research before jumping in!
Grazie tanto,
David -
Hootesuite is another option. They have a free trial version.

Hi David,
I am actually in the same process, except in-house. I am currently looking at:
- SocialBro
- Mention
- Vocus (mainly bc we are already using this for other PR)
- Sprout Social
In my opinion, Mention and Sprout Social are definitely the best out of the 4 I listed. They are extremely easy to use and configure.
Both have free trials, which I'd recommend you check out to make sure that it suites your needs.
If I had to pick, I'd probably choose Social Sprout (and I "think" Moz actually uses Social Sprout come to think of what I heard previously). It gives you great information and the weekly summary reports are pretty awesome.
I'd recommend a trial before jumping into anything. Or do what I did... set up 4 trials at the same time and compare your findings across the different software.
Hope this helps.
Good luck,
Mike

Problems with Google Analytics social tracking
Hi folks, Any GA experts out there available to help with a social tracking problem we've got? In short a client is using a ShareThis plugin, but the data we're seeing in GA doesn't correlate at all with the share counts showing on the plugin. Huge discrepancies in fact. Could do with someone taking a look at the page and seeing what part of the tracking code we need to update/fix. We'll make it worth your while. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks! Matt.

Do i direct traffic to all social platforms or not?
Hi ...I have a brand that is very strong socially..specifically facebook and twitter and this is where we have directed all strategy and traffic. We recently wanted to establish a presence on google+ and have done so. My feeling at this point is to maintain a presence on google+ but only direct social traffic to facebook and twitter from the brands website....so we can keep the focus here aswell as the stronger community. I have noticed other brands doing something similar.....is this a good strategy or should we be directing traffic to all the platforms from the site?...bottomline should we be linking to all our social platforms from the brands website or keep it linked to the stronger platforms and just maintain a presence on the others? thank you

yaledoor.co.uk/ Their backlink profiles look quite spammy? as they mostly point to web directories So is there a gap that I can take advantage of? We have little budget for sponsored articles on sites like what anglian have been doing looking at the backlinks but are there any other articles that I could write for our site that would help improve quality links to the site for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors Same with their social profiles they seem quite poor, what would be the best approach on Facebook and Twitter to attract local followers - the majority of social followers I have seen have been fellow marketers or rival companies on the follower lists of twitter Many Thanks0 -
