Combine the qualitative and quantitative; data will not come from one tool or source. Incorporate data from across the enterprise (customer service, web analytics, sales/lead gen). Discover how your customers interact with your web presence (as a whole). Mesh the intent with the clicks to find actionable insights that drive meaningful changes to improve customer experience. Give examples of metrics that take more than one data source to analyze.

Listening and monitoring takes time. As you build traction in social media, the time it takes to listen well AND act onthe information you find is going to increase. Ideally, you want to be spending your time acting on the information you find rather than gathering it and doing the analysis manually. This is where a paid solution can come in handy, and there are many available spanning budgets and capabilities. If you’re spending more than an hour or so a day gathering and tracking results, and more thana couple of hours a week doing the analysis, you might be ready to consider a more robust platform to do your listening.Features you’ll want to look for:• Depth and Breadth of coverage: ensure you’re capturing all relevant posts from across the social web• Analytics and Metrics: What specific social media metrics can you track, filter, and report on?• Collaboration and Workflow: As you mature, you’ll want to be able to share data among your team• Engagement: Can you coordinate, track, and measure your outreach from the platform?• Scalability: How can you integrate your social media monitoring into other areas of your business?
