Social listening helps you make more informed decisions about your brand, product, and strategy. It demonstrates how certain content resonates with your audience, gauges how you’re doing against your competition, and helps you identify where to spend the most time and resources. Social listening can help prevent negative reviews and reduce your risk of getting canceled.

Social media monitoring enhances customer advocacy by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what customers want. Identify your audience’s most common pain points, the features or products they desire the most, and what’s stopping them from converting. With these insights, you can build a better, more customer-centric product.

Social media listening tools track when a brand is mentioned online. They collect data from social media networks, blogs, forums, and review sites and display them in one feed. This provides an overview of metrics such as how often people mention your brand and how they feel about it.

All Hootsuite accounts come with basic social listening tools. Use your Professional, Team, Business, or Enterprise plan to set up custom feeds (Hootsuite Streams) that alert you whenever someone mentions your brand name, username, or the hashtags and keywords you specify.

Coming soon: Hootsuite customers will soon have access to the deepest social media monitoring software thanks to our Talkwalker acquisition.
