Social Media Monitoring

What does 'Social Media Monitoring' mean?

Social media monitoring means listening to millions of conversations on the web to assess what is being said about a particular brand, topic, person, or product and to discover opportunities. It's how we keep track of the online world. Monitoring social media can be passive, such as listening to people to see what interests them, or active, such as looking for references to your business, campaigns, or actions. Social media monitoring tools work by crawling and indexing websites constantly, often in real-time, such as Twitter. After all of those sites have been indexed, you may search for mentions, opinions, and sentiments about certain goods, brands, companies, individuals, and places.
