Frequently Asked Questions

Which social platforms matter most?

It depends on your industry. B2B: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Reddit. B2C: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X. Tech: Twitter/X, Reddit, Hacker News. Monitor where your customers and competitors are most active.

How do I handle negative mentions?

Triage by severity and reach. High-follower complaints need immediate human response. Low-reach negative mentions can be queued for batch response. Never ignore, but prioritize by potential impact.

What's a good share of voice target?

Aim for share of voice proportional to or exceeding your market share. If you have 15% market share but only 5% share of voice, you have a visibility gap to address.
