You’ve put a considerable amount of effort to building your brand name. You’ve carefully curated content, made informed decisions on what posts are relevant and when the optimal time to post is. You have ensured that your social media accounts embody your brand’s mission. You’ve even done damage control on the digital footprint you left behind from before your name became what it is today.
But beyond that, you need to watch other things besides your brand name. Here are the top 7 things worth tracking:
1. Monitor all your online campaigns
Are you happy with the results of your campaigns that ran on Facebook? Which headlines did the best? Did you target the right audience? Was there a high level of engagement?
Metrics like clicks, engagement, opt-ins, reach and sales are important. Understanding the numbers and analyzing the results can help you create future campaigns by knowing what works and what doesn’t.
2. Pay attention to competitor mentions
When you stay informed on the latest activities of your competition, you can gain insight on what you can apply to your own business based on what customers are saying, whether negative or positive, about their products.
If your competitors are receiving complaints, you’ll know what mistakes to avoid. If they are being praised for something, you’ll understand the market better allowing you to make adjustments in your own service and marketing campaigns.
3. Keep up with latest industry trends
Consumers are always on the look for the latest trends, and you should be too. Knowing what is relevant, popular, and creating the most buzz in your industry are all key elements to ensuring your brand does not get left behind.
Follow digital magazines for ads, social media or websites for product reviews, and blogs so you can anticipate future opportunities.
4. Are your images being shared?
It’s important to know if your followers are consuming your blogs, posts, or any texts related to your brand. It is equally critical to monitor if your images are being shared or if anything is being said about them.
Which of your images is the most liked? Do any of them have a negative impact? Are your images being used inappropriately? Are you properly credited for your photos that have been reposted?
5. What is being said about your products?
