8 Free Apps That Analyze Your Brand On Social Media
There are so many Apps around today, that it is hard to know which one's to download and take up space on either your smart phone, tablet or computer.
As a marketing agency, we use a number of "must have" apps to ensure that we are regularly monitoring our clients performance online and ensuring that we are abreast of their competitors movements, campaigns and conversations as well as leveraging industry news and developments to bring their brands to the forefront.
While we continue to grow audiences, increasing our clients brands within the circles in which they trade, it becomes increasingly important to utilize Apps that cut-through the clutter and help ensures that we don't waste time on social media where possible.
Here are 8 of the most efficient analytical Apps that Marketing Eye uses:
1. HootSuite: If you don't use this, then you have not only been hiding under a rock, but you are missing a valuable tool. HootSuite is a social media management solution that enables teams to collaborately execute social media campaigns across multiple platforms from one single view point - a dashboard. HootSuite includes audience identification tools, the ability to streamline workflow and customize reporting. It is perfect for managing Twitter accounts.

2. Klout: I range from being a 72 on Klout to a 64, depending on how much time I want to spend on social media - however it does have value.

ReplyI'm a fan of Hootsuite, so I'm glad that one is in the list. I also really like http://twittercounter.com for monitoring a Twitter account. Once you have an account they frequently email reports/ updates which is great for tracking.
