How to Run A Social Media Listening Program 
Building a social media 
listening program is a 
lot like cooking…….. 
You need to pick an 
appealing sounding 
recipe, collect and 
prepare all your 
ingredients and heat it all 
up before you can serve 
the meal.

How to Run A Social Media Listening Program 
Step 1: Determine who you are listening for 
Marketing? PR? Customer Service? The whole business?

Step 2: identify tool(s) that is/are best for your brand 
Hootsuite? R6? Brandwatch? The list keeps growing! 
There is no “Holy Grail” tool and none that are a “One size fits all” 
― What is your budget? $0, $50K, $1MM, No budget – lucky you! 
― In-house vs. professional services? 
― If there is volume pricing will that affect what you can listen for?

customization, customization”!

This is not about creating a social media strategy - it is using social media 
intelligence to enhance the strategies for the entire business 
Social Media ROI can not be defined by the same terms as other channels
