Social Listening

Most brands track what is said to them on social media. Far fewer pay attention to what is said about them, and about their industry, everywhere else. That is what social listening covers.

Social Listening

Most brands track what is said to them on social media. Far fewer pay attention to what is said about them, and about their industry, everywhere else. That is what social listening covers.

Monitoring versus listening

Monitoring means tracking mentions, tags and messages so you can respond.

Listening means analysing conversations over time to understand sentiment, recurring needs and trends.

What to listen for

  • Mentions of the brand and its products.
  • Competitors and how customers talk about them.
  • Industry topics and the questions people ask.
  • Recurring complaints and wishes.

How to use the insights

  • Content: turn real questions into posts, articles and FAQs.
  • Products: pass feature requests and frustrations on to the product team.
  • Customer service: spot issues before they grow.
  • Messaging: adopt the language customers actually use.
  • Opportunities: find gaps that competitors leave open.

Getting started

  1. Choose keywords: brand names, products, competitors and industry terms.
  2. Set up a listening tool or saved searches.
  3. Review findings weekly.
  4. Share insights with other teams.

Respect privacy

Analyse public conversations and handle personal data responsibly.
