Social listening is actively gathering social data and clustering it into valuable insights related to the industry, brand, and competitors. By transforming brand mentions into actionable business insights and gaining a comprehensive understanding of online conversations, we can intelligently evaluate brand health. To begin harnessing the power of social listening, let's create listening topics and unlock a world of valuable information.

Here are the steps to follow when creating listening topics:

  1. Click on “Settings” and it will directly navigate you to the "Brands" section on the following screen.

  2. On the appearing screen, go to the "Listening" tab.

  3. Click on "+ Add New Topic”

With Sociality.io, you have the flexibility to create both simple and comprehensive listening topics. You can start with a simple topic using a single keyword, such as your brand name, to get a basic understanding of online conversations. However, the Listening feature allows you to dig deeper into details to achieve the best possible results and reach your marketing goals.

By creating comprehensive and detailed topics in Sociality.io, you can uncover valuable insights that go beyond surface-level mentions. Incorporating multiple keywords, industry-specific terms, and variations in language and sentiment enables you to capture a holistic view of the conversations relevant to your brand.
