I actively blog, tweet and speak about best practices in social media monitoring, measurement, engagement, customer service and customer expience. With that, I get a lot of questions, and I start to see patterns in what the most needed areas for education are. So I’ve decided to start a weekly tips edition, where I make a short video in under 5 minutes and deep dive into a narrow topic that has to do with social media monitoring, measurement, engagement, customer service, collaboration, SocialCRM, and others. I’m happy to introduce the first video “Share of Conversation”. Also known as share of voice (check out the Altimeter report on social media metrics), this concept has been adapted from traditional advertising metrics to match the reality of social business. You should watch the whole video, but here’s are some brief takeaways:
- Share of voice is the % of conversation about you (total conversation about you and competitors should add up to 100%)
- You need to know your share across all social media, as well as by medium (Twitter, blogs, discussion forums)
- You need to know the same about your competitors.
- If your competitors outperform you in a certain medium, dig in and find out why
- You need to track your share over time
- It’s also useful to track your share of all positive conversations across the industry, as well as negative
- If you aren’t getting the results you want, go back and examine what’s not working, and what’s working for the rest of the industry
- When looking at what other companies are doing, don’t be a copycat, but rather create something original and buzzworthy, something of value
I hope you come back for more of my weekly tips!

Enjoyed the video. You mentioned “dig into the data” Does the Attensity tool allow
you to look deeper at the data ? For instance in your example when Southwest Airlines was
leading in overall share of coverage could the tool show: a) positive or negative mentions or
b) who are the influencers ?
thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, Kevin! Yes, you can dig into the data from each point on the graph, and slice and dice (and also sort) the data any way you want. I want to keep each little “tip” very short, in bite-sized bites. So I didn’t want to go too deep or make it a demo of the product. Rather, I’m explaining a concept and illustrating it with some data. I already prepared a tip for next week, but I’m thinking the week after that, I’ll do influence, and then negative vs. positive
We can always give you a full-on personalized demo if you want!
Cheers!
