• Garbage in, garbage out.• Most systems allow for advanced searching.• Think about your search terms.• What do you want in?• What don’t you want in?• Any whole sites to eliminate?• Date parameters?• Any search terms that bring a ton of spam?

• All the data in the world does not make a strategy. • Drill down into the results to get specific information – be
creative. – Think like a strategist. – Ask questions. – Use your imagination.– Test your theories, look for examples in the real world.

But seriously, what can I measure?
WHO - Who interacted? What do you know about these consumers?
WHAT - What was discussed? What was shared? Engaged?WHERE - Where were the conversations happening - social
channels or geography?WHEN - When did the results happen? Context?WHY - Why were consumers engaging or feeling this way?HOW - How much of an impact did the social marketing have?
How do results hold up against benchmarks? How do they translate to brand metrics? How does this add to the bottom line?
