When you’re not regularly using social analytics, you can have a hard time working out whether your business is sinking or swimming online. If someone hits you up with questions about your Facebook marketing strategy, top performing tweets, whether your Instagram stories are generating traffic and leads, ideally you don’t want to meet them with a blank ‘WTF’ expression.
Social analytics tools give you the ability to measure your social clout and see if your content is making a splash.
There’s a giant treasure trove of info that you can get your hnds on. Neglecting it means a ton of valuable data can lay by the wayside…and the wayside is not a good place to be y’all.

Just because Facebook and Twitter are massive, it doesn’t necessarily mean your content performs best there or your audience gravitate towards these spaces. Specific Channel Performance gives you the chance to concentrate on building awareness and traffic on smaller networks – data can be utilized to focus more on social networks that are working for you and give less weight to ones that don’t.
