DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2014 / Social Media Marketing Agencies are constantly monitoring their business client's social media. According to these agencies, they are confident with the steps they are taking in making their clients successful by increasing their customer's engagement on social media sites like Twitter.
These agencies' steps include building a well- defined business profiles and pages, a marketing software utilization made available, regular postings, and their endless efforts in constantly monitoring their client's social media account. They said all these steps are the only things needed to make a successful social media.

According to Qamar Zaman of http://www.socialmediareport247.com/, these agencies can greatly benefit and can make their social media monitoring effort worth it, if they use these social media reporting functions when sending reports to their clients.
First reporting function is called the General social media analytics which includes regularly monitoring their customer's engagement by checking the number of likes, comments, shares, and views. Also for direct interaction with connections, their account growth and website traffic.
Second mentioned function is the Specific Twitter analytics wherein agencies should track their business client's Twitter mentions, direct messages, replies, favorite Tweets, new followers and list inclusion. There are tools that can turn this report into a visual analytics like for example graphs.
Third is the Post Click Engagement wherein the number of clicks is tracked by using url shortener, Google UTM codes, and other social media monitoring tools.
Fourth is the "Brand monitoring: Use a social search engine, like SocialMention.com, to accumulate social intelligence regarding who is talking about the companies brand, what platforms the most chatter is coming from, and if what is being said is negative or positive," says Qamar.
Agencies can gain useful insights from gathering social media data done on a regular basis through social analysis similar to the report functions mentioned by Qamar. He also recommends to consider utilizing a Twitter Tool like Social Centiv when doing a social media analysis through Twitter.
