Social Media Analytics - Everything You Need to Know

The world has gone social. With over 80 million facebook users, 25+ million twitter users and 25+ million google+ users, one in every 10 people has a social account. Social sites are the platform to share the stuff we like with our friends, colleagues and family members. Social sites, blogs, microblogs, web forums, discussions,  come under Social Media.

Marketing managers implement different strategies to know the pulse of customers. One such strategy is Social Media . Businesses have their own facebook fan page, twitter and google+ pages where they post updated information about ongoing activities of the business like new product releases or policy changes etc. 

Analytics or insights help in understanding the users behavior to different posts in their official social pages. Facebook has insights which shows statistics of users interaction with the fan page, where as google+ and twitter don't have such feature.

Social media analytics tools are the tools which help businesses in understanding the customers behavior. These tools collects insights from different social media sites and gives the combined result by aggregating individual results.  Mainly businesses do sentiment analysis using social media analytics tools. Sentiment analysis is nothing but analysing how customers responding to different posts like whether they are positively responding or negatively or neutral. Based on this businesses develop marketing strategies.
