Social Media Monitoring

Chances are if you ask a local business tomorrow how successful their social media campaign is going you’re going to get a below average response. Many local businesses find themselves managing their own social media campaigns, and end up guessing at what might work to engage people.

As a business owner, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a simple way to monitor your competition on social media?

Well Facebook has solved this problem for business owners with their Pages to Watch tool. You’ll be able to monitor things like:

  • Posts
  • Likes
  • How many people are engaged with them
  • Most popular posts

So how do you do it?

1. On the top of your panel select “insights “
