Looking for a Social Analytics Reporting Platform
-
Hey Mozz'ers-
Wondering if yourself or team members us any good social reporting platforms - we are pushing our social media department to become more data driven and want to get some analytics on it. Beyond what we can get out a GA and/or Facebook or each respective platforms tool set - is there a tool you use to bring it all into one place?
Thanks!

Hi!
I know this question is a little dated, but I still thought I'd chime in here in case someone else is looking for an answer! I'll start off by saying that I'm not unbiased, as I work for DashThis. However, as a marketer, it's still a tool that I'd be using even if it wasn't where I worked.
It offers over 30 integrations (Google Analytics, Google Ads, Moz (and other SEO platforms), Facebook Ads (and other social media platforms), etc.), and one of the main advantages here is that the learning curve really isn't steep: there's absolutely no coding required when you're connecting your integrations.
If you want a report that looks attractive, and is also easy to understand, I think DashThis does the trick pretty well. And if you want to get started even more quickly, you can choose a preset dashboard template instead of starting from scratch. They've been created with our internal marketers to reflect the most commonly tracked KPIs for certain themes (SEO, social media, web analytics, etc.).
Plus, you can include as many of your platforms into the same report, so there's no hopping from one dashboard to another, which seems to be what you're looking for, right?
You can also create an automated email dispatch schedule so that your dashboards get sent to your clients or the rest of your team (depending on for whom you're creating your reports) automatically. And since they'll receive a URL, they can access their dashboard wherever they are. Plus, your data updates itself automatically - for example, if your client wants to consult his/her dashboard mid-month, your data will be up-to-date until that point.
If you have any questions, please do let me know, and since this was posted a while ago, I hope you've found a tool that works for you in the meantime!
Cheers,
Nathalie

Dylan,
There's lots of monitoring platforms available, I would try a few free trials and see what you like. Like Thomas, we use Agency Analytics, it's decent enough for social monitoring, mostly we use it for ranking monitoring.
I would suggest reading some reviews here, https://www.g2crowd.com/categories/social-media-monitoring. You can get an idea of what people like, and what they are using.
My suggestions, read reviews, then try free trials.
Hope this helps.

A tool that I use for some reporting is: https://agencyanalytics.com/ however I only use this with some automated reports for customers who don't want to use GA or search console so I'm not sure what their social analytics is like.
They do have a free trial so perhaps worth giving it a go?

How relevant is social bookmarking for SEO today?
I've been doing SEO for a little over 4 years. I've never used sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, etc. either personally or on behalf of my clients. This past week I had a discussion with another SEO who asked what I'm doing for my clients with regard to social bookmarking. I responded that I'm really not doing anything and they were shocked. I took a pretty good verbal beating over it. She was borderline offended. I have always been able to deliver solid results for my clients without any type of social bookmarking, so I struggle to see the need, but am surprised at how shocked this other SEO was that I don't do it. How beneficial is it and am I really missing out?

We have a profile on Facebook, with around 5.000 likes, and as far as im concerned the important thing on Facebook is to get people to share your links? Google+ At the moment we dont have a Google+ account, but my suggestion would be that we create one . maybe not to generate alot of content, but in order to get more info on the branded search results - and i have a presumption that Google will put more and more emphasis on Google+ in the updates that lies ahead. Twitter We have a profile, but are there anything we could do in order to optimize the SEO-effect via Twitter - what i have heard is that because their links are no-follow it dosent have any effect on SEO. Instagram
Is there anything to gain on SEO if you create a profile on Instagram? Please let me hear your views on this. Thanks in advance.0 -
Social data for links
Hey can anyone recommend a tools out there, which can look at a list of urls (over 20+) and it will show the social stats for each url (e.g. number of Facebook Shares, Tweets, etc)? Or a tool which searchers within a certain category or niche (might be based on the keyword you entered), and finds the most shared content? Cheers, Chris

Should each domain have it's own social media ?
Hi, were in the process of creating multiple domains and sites for each country we plan to operate in, should each site site have it's own set of Facebook, twitter you tube accounts etc? I realise this will create more work in administrating each site and corresponding set of social media accounts, but does it have benefits ? As we'll need to do it anyway in different languages, does separating the English languages accounts make any difference carry any benefits? Thanks,

Incentivisation Strategies for Social Sharing of Product Pages
Hey, What are some great tips for gaining social shares on ecommerce product or category pages? I understand great images and video will go along way, but it's difficult on a large scale ecommerce store. Receiving an offer for sharing something is great - I honestly cant think of a way to track this strategy in a large scale manner. I can send an email after a purchase making an offer to go back to the page to share, but how would I track this? Thanks.
