What Is Social Listening and Why Is It so Important?

In today’s day and age, it is crucial that businesses realise the importance of social media as an indispensable tool in the success and growth of their company. Content is everything and the foundation of building a reliable content strategy lies in a brand’s ability to reach the relevant audience at just the right time by creating exceptional content.

To properly execute this however, companies must first have an undeniable grasp of their social listening skills.

Having worked with numerous Partner Clients, we found that companies almost always encounter significant challenges in their use of listening tools that provide inaccurate sentiment data due to the intricacies of the language of one’s home country, often characterised by the diverse slangs used by netizens.

Another barrier companies face that prevent them from making meaningful changes in their business is the lack of technological solutions that are proficient enough at authentically comprehending these sentiments. This is further made worse by the equal lack of local sources, such as industry-specific web boards and new sites exclusive to a particular country.
