UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL MEDIA MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
An effective social media strategy begins with understanding what your clients are talking about online and on which social media channels those conversations are taking place.
Whether your organization is new to social media or has been active in social media for some time, this course will teach you how to strategically “listen” to what your clients are saying and effectively monitor the conversation online. Strategic monitoring and “listening” will help you better manage your new or existing social media strategy.
Using free online tools that are available to most organizations, this course will show you how to set up keyword searches, identify key influencers, and examine your overall online presence. You will also learn how to use this valuable information to improve and strengthen your online presence.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- Understand how your audience searches for information and what relevant keywords they are using;
- Understand where online conversations are taking place about your area of interest or expertise and how to better follow those conversations through effective use of monitoring filters;
- Identify key influencers;
- Explore popular and free social media monitoring tools in greater detail so you get the most from your monitoring efforts. This will include an in depth look at popular tools such as Hootsuite, TweetDeck, Google advanced search tools and more;
