Host : Marv Dorner, BeBizzy Consulting Guest : Donna Amos, Solopreneur Solutions How To Get Started Performing a Social Media Audit This is the perfect time of year to do a social media audit to prepare for next year. Create a spreadsheet with the social media platform, the URL, and name on profile and the description Also include number of fans/followers, and the date of the last activity Make sure everything is consistent (name, images, colors, etc) Start auditing individual social platforms for traffic Where is Your Traffic Coming From? Now that you’ve audited the general items of the individual to make sure everything looks and feels the same, it’s time to start looking at Google Analytics for indicators that visitors to the website are coming from the various social platforms. You can also get some valuable information from the social media platform data. Facebook Insights Twitter Analytics LinkedIn Company Page Analytics In addition to using the social media analytics to perform a social media audit, you can also use third party tools like Hootsuite and SEMRush to analyze data from social media websites. Act on the Social Media Audit There are some actionable items that may show up in your social media audit that can Repurpose old content in another form like video, slideshows or podcats Set up goals and metrics to measure The point of doing social media is to create awareness, gain followers to frequency, and that activity drives traffic to the site to sign up for email newsletters and subscriptions, then convert those subscribers. Determine what “success looks like” for your business and see what sites are meeting that success model. Sometimes it’s better to abandon/close a social media platform if you are unable to manage that platform or your audience just isn’t there. Set up a schedule to perform this social media audit quarterly or at least regularly to look for trends on what is working. Other Tips Video is going to be the dominant form of media in social media in the coming years. Video doesn’t have to be polished to be effective. Just needs good camera placement, decent content and great sound. Create a list of FAQ’s, answer them, and make 1-2 minute videos answering those questions and share in your social sites. Do you want to be seen as a thought leader? Then consumption of social and website content is the goa. If you want to create awareness, strive for reach… how many people can you reach with each post.. Shares, likes and retweets are to be used if the goal is to reach more with word of mouth. There is a documented trail of each post to see how many people see it, share it, like it, click on it, and even purchase because of it. Don’t expect immediate results! Sometimes you are talking to no one until your acquire a following. But there is a benefit to talking to no one in social and blogs because the post lives on and can be found by people searching for the content keywords. Googe+ is great for SEO benefits, even if your customers aren’t there. Performing a social media audit can take a bit of time, but if you do it once you will produce a baseline that will enable your business to compare to when making future decisions on digital marketing. Both Donna and I encourage you to take the time between now and the end of the year to audit your social media properties.
