It is clear that most businesses now see the value of tuning in to social media conversations and that they are reaping significant benefits from what they do. But the actual process remains challenging for many.
In fact, feedback indicates that many businesses do not feel that they are getting the most out of their listening efforts because they do not have the skills available to fully capitalize on their opportunities.
Some of these can be solved with smart apps and tools designed to simplify the process. Twitter, for example, is TweetDeck is working on a new advanced search monitoring toolIts native monitoring dashboard, which makes it easy to understand the various parameters available, while different apps are similar, enabling faster set-up and working to better specify filtering.

Or you may need to partner with experts in the field to establish a clearer, more relevant reference to your business. Again, various third party apps offer solutions on this front, and many will provide their own experts to help you set up your search term – and the good news is that, often, you only need to set up your search string once, from there. With minimal refinements for your main posts.
Of course, there will be breaking events and issues that will affect your key terms, so building an underlying understanding, as much as you can, will help. But our response data here shows that most businesses are not confident that they are maximizing their listening opportunities, yet with that in mind, they are still seeing clear benefits from their own, basic initiatives and strategies.
More data is always good, and staying on top of social listening industry trends and direct feedback and a broad understanding of your specific market can be one of the best, most effective ways to build your business. Some brands and products will find more references than others, providing more insights, but there are ways for all businesses to gather valuable, effective strategic insights from a refined social media monitoring program.
But if you don’t see it, you won’t know, and you won’t be able to tap into all the insights available unless you know how people are discussing your brand and sector, what they really want to know about their purchasing process, and how to connect the dots between different data points. .
There are opportunities, and they do not necessarily require significant investment. But dedicating resources to learning, or working with those who have, will pay off over time.
