networks are they on?</li> <li class="li2">How large is their following?</li> <li class="li2">What is their engagement rate?</li> </ul> <p class="p2">On that final bullet: unless you fancy adding up all their likes and comments yourself, you’ll need a tool to calculate the engagement rate. There are a couple of reasonable free tools available (like <a href="https://hypeauditor.com/free-tools/instagram-engagement-calculator/"><span class="s1">HypeAuditor’s free Instagram engagement calculator</span></a> and <a href="https://phlanx.com/engagement-calculator"><span class="s1">Phlanx’s engagement calculator</span></a>).

Just because Blissy has a <a href="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/10-best-in-class-brands-linkedin/"><span class="s2">LinkedIn</span></a> profile, that doesn’t mean it’s worth monitoring from the perspective of a B2C brand like Brooklinen — (most) people aren’t going to buy bedding after seeing a LinkedIn post. <p class="p3">However, LinkedIn suddenly becomes relevant if recruitment or corporate social responsibility are key focuses of our imaginary social media strategy for Brooklinen. You’ll have to make a call on which platforms to include and exclude based on your overarching marketing goals. <p class="p3">Having conducted your analysis, don’t forget to add all the information you find to a spreadsheet or document so you can compare all your data points side by side. <h2 class="p5"><b>Step #4: Perform a SWOT Analysis</b></h2> <p class="p3">By this point, you’ve collected a ton of juicy qualitative and quantitative data. <p class="p3">But all that information is only useful when you give it context: <i>why does this matter, and what can we learn from it?</i> <p class="p3">The best approach is to take a page from the business school handbook and perform a SWOT analysis: <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li3"><b>S</b>trengths: These are areas where you’re currently ahead of the competition.</li> <li class="li3"><b>W</b>eaknesses: By contrast, these are how you’re lagging behind your rivals.</li> <li class="li3"><b>O</b>pportunities: Based on the information you’ve gathered (plus your knowledge of changes in the social media landscape), opportunities are areas in which you’ve got the potential for big performance gains.</li> <li class="li3"><b>T</b>hreats: Lastly, threats are trends that could disrupt your niche and adversely affect your <a href="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/9-critical-components-of-a-successful-social-media-strategy/"><span class="s2">social media performance</span></a>.</li> </ul> <p class="p3">Here’s an (extremely simple) example of how that could look for Brooklinen: <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4560 lazyload" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAMAAQMAAACAdIdOAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAHZJREFUGBntwQEBAAAAgqD+r3ZIwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgHsBgw8AAQKYnC0AAAAASUVORK5CYII=" alt="" width="1024" height="768" data-wp-pid="4560" data-src="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis.png?x37903" data-srcset="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis.png 1024w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-300x225.png 300w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-768x576.png 768w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-600x450.png 600w" data-sizes="auto" data-eio-rwidth="1024" data-eio-rheight="768" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4560" src="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis.png?x37903" alt="" width="1024" height="768" data-wp-pid="4560" srcset="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis.png 1024w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-300x225.png 300w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-768x576.png 768w, https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Neutral-Minimalist-SWOT-Analysis-600x450.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" data-eio="l" /></noscript> <p class="p1">As you may have gathered, the first two categories — strengths and weaknesses — speak to <i>internal</i> factors related to your existing performance, whereas the second two — opportunities and threats — are about <i>external</i> matters that could shake up the status quo in your niche. <h2 class="p3"><b>Step #5: Bring It All Together</b></h2> <p class="p1">You’ve got a spreadsheet full of valuable information. <p class="p1">But, on its own, that’s not enough to <a href="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/your-complete-guide-to-creating-a-social-media-strategy/"><span class="s1">build a social media strategy</span></a> around. <p class="p1">That’s why the final step in the process is to bring it all together by pulling out all the key learnings you’ve identified and packaging them up in a user-friendly format that you can share with all relevant stakeholders (like senior leaders and other people on your social media team). <p class="p1">Here are a few tips to do this effectively: <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><b>Visualize key data points:</b> Let’s be honest: spreadsheets aren’t easy on the eye; it’s easy to miss important information amid all those columns of numbers. Use graphs and charts to communicate key data, such as your social media followings and engagement rates, versus your competitors.</li> </ul> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><b>Select a handful of key learnings:</b> Most people don’t need (or want) to dig through every takeaway in your social media competitive analysis — they just want the headlines. Pull out your 5 – 10 most important insights and write them up as bullet points.</li> </ul> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><b>Explain why it matters:</b> <i>“Blissy has more followers on TikTok than Brooklinen!”</i> Okay, so what? Explain why your key learnings are important and what could happen if you don’t address them. For instance, Brooklinen’s comparatively small TikTok following could indicate that they’re failing to appeal to younger demographics. This could hit the business hard as those demographics gain more spending power.</li> </ul> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><b>Offer actionable solutions, not problems:</b> Spotted a major threat for your brand? Provide actionable steps to tackle it. Following the previous example, Brooklinen may need to invest more heavily in platforms that skew younger, like Snapchat and TikTok.</li> </ul> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1"><b>Share best practice examples:</b> Don’t just <i>describe</i> the types of content you should be sharing based on your competitive analysis; include real-world examples of competitors that are getting it right.</li> </ul> <h2><span lang="EN">Top 10 Social Media Competitive Analysis Tools</span></h2> <p>As you can see, running a social media competitive analysis involves plenty of leg work. <p>That’s why plenty of businesses invest in tools to handle some of the more <em>labor-intensive </em>stuff — freeing up <a href="https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/avoid-burnout-as-a-social-media-manager/">social media managers</a> to concentrate on higher-value strategic tasks. <p>With that in mind, <strong>we’ve rounded up the 10 best social media competitive analysis tools</strong>, taking into account: <ul> <li>Features</li> <li>Pricing</li> <li>User ratings</li> </ul> <p>Here they are, in no particular order: <h2><span lang="EN">1.
