No silver bullet for social media measurement Define goals of program, then determine which metrics matter

– Lead generation
– Customer satisfaction scores

Try some social media tools (engage, don’t just passively participate)
Get involved in Cleveland Social Media Club Conduct 30-day listen-and-learn analysis of your company
(and its competitors)– Who: Who is talking about your company?– What: What are they saying about you?– Where: Which social media channels are they using?– When: Is the conversation random, event-driven, cyclical?– Why: Are they praising you? Upset about an issue? Reacting
to an experience with a customer service rep? Develop social media plan that addresses the 5W’s, meets
your measurement objectives and integrates with other communications activities
