Our top picks for brand intelligence software for this year:
There are several ways to measure brand awareness and overall performance—and ultimately how this affects consumer preferences. Depending on what your business needs, there are different features to focus on. If you want actionable insights, define your goals first before choosing your brand intelligence software. Here are the product features you can expect from different brand intelligence software solutions.
You don’t have to sit around and wait for people to start talking about your brand: you can just approach them and ask! With brand intelligence tools that offer market research survey options, you can collect data whenever you need it to inform your marketing and business decisions. And you can tailor your survey to make sure the insights you get are super specific to your needs.
Getting mixed reviews? Going viral on social? A lot of new followers? Social media monitoring software lets you monitor what people are saying about your brand online, across different social media channels. This will help you keep track of all mentions that are relevant to you, without having to rely someone searching social media manually.
Before taking the plunge with a platform, here’s why social listening might not be the ideal way to measure your brand’s performance.
Are you mentioned in a blog? Is there mention of one of your execs in a news site? This will also affect your brand, so you can use brand intelligence software to give you automatic alerts when you pop up somewhere. Web listening lets you track certain keywords, so you’re always on top of the content that’s out there.
