Examples of measurement
MEASUREMENT
Driving traffic to a website?
Track URL shares, clicks and
conversions. Are people moving
through social media to your external
site and what do they do once they’re
on your site?
Measuring engagement?
Look for metrics around
retweets, comments,
replies, and participants.
How many people are
participating, how often are
they participating, and in
what forms are they
participating?
Find advocates and fans?
track contributors and
influence. Who is
participating and what kind
of impact do they have?
Share of Voice?
Track your volume relative
to your closest
competitors. How much of
the overall conversation
around your industry or
product category is about
your brand?
