Brand analytics
Your brand represents what you stand for, or your organization’s core values and culture. It’s what differentiates you from competitors and helps you attract investors, win talented team members, and build credibility and foster loyalty among consumers. Brand analytics helps you ensure that your brand truly reflects what you stand for online—on the social networks and websites people look at when they research your company.
Using social listening tools, firms can gather the qualitative and quantitative data they need to assess brand health and obtain actionable insights about their online presence and audience. Through brand analytics, organizations get intelligence critical for informing and improving digital marketing and communications strategies.
Use brand analytics to monitor and track brand performance online
Brand analytics is used to better understand how a brand is performing online—how a brand is perceived and received. You can use brand analytics to measure public reception and recognition of your brand using brand health and user engagement metrics on social channels. These include:
- Brand awareness metrics such as Impressions, Reach, and Share of Voice
- Brand reputation or favorability metrics such as Sentiment Analysis, Follower Growth, Net Promoter Score, and Synthesio’s proprietary Social Reputation Score
- Engagement metrics such as Average Engagement Rate and Share of Engagement
Through the use of an audience insights tool, which is included in Synthesio’s industry-leading Social Intelligence Suite, firms can also use social analytics to better understand the demographics, interests, and habits of their client base, their followers on social networks, or even the followers of their competitors.
Why firms use brand analytics
By leveraging the insights gained from brand analytics, firms can not only better understand their own presence online but also carry out competitor benchmarking, letting them compare their brand health to that of their rivals. Brand analytics offers organizations a wide range of practical insights that they can use to optimize their digital campaigns, content development, and other marketing and communications initiatives. With the right tool, you can monitor and proactively protect your brand’s online reputation while ensuring that your brand messaging and content resonates with your intended audience.
Social listening makes analyzing your brand easier
There are a number of ways to implement brand analytics. You can use online surveys or questionnaires, web analytics tools, analytics tools provided by social networking services, and brand monitoring software, which can do most of the heavy lifting for you.
But brand monitoring or social listening tools make it easier for you to keep track of all the relevant metrics and online conversations pertaining to your brand. A social listening tool collects, analyzes, and categorizes mentions of your brand, your products or services, and other related keywords found on the social web. Depending on the tool you use, you can monitor your brand across a variety of social channels: social networking services, blogs, discussion forums, online reviews, and news media.
With social listening, you can continuously measure and track brand health as well as the mentions that matter, keeping a constant eye on what consumers think of your brand and the campaigns your teams worked hard to develop.
- Be alerted to complaining customers early so that you can respond in a timely manner and show customers—and consumers watching the conversation—that you care, thereby boosting your brand image.
- Detect a spike in negative mentions to take fast action to prevent or mitigate the impact of a PR crisis.
- Dive deep into the socio-demographic details of the people talking about your brand to learn more about your consumer base and the people influencing the conversation.
