11. Additional data to consider for tagging
• Social Account Name
• Line of business
• Product
• Organic or Paid
• Size and ad type if paid
• Department
• Unique ID for status update

12. Gap analysis
• Will the current process work for real-time link
creation?
• Is there a need for operationalizing link tagging?
• How much content curation do you do?
– Only works for links sent to company website with
primary web analytics code
• How many microsites and other company
websites don’t have primary web analytics code?
