Social listening
Monitoring and analyzing mentions of a brand, competitors and topics across social media and the web.
Social listening is monitoring what's said online about your brand, products, competitors or industry. It's not just tracking mentions but understanding sentiment and context.
Why it matters
It gives you the market's voice in real time — for crisis communication, content creation and spotting opportunities that ad data won't reveal.
Real-world example
A brand catches a wave of complaints about one product feature before it spreads. A fast, transparent response averts a crisis and builds trust.
