Social Listening

Hear What Your Audience Says When They’re Not
Talking to You

Social listening goes beyond media coverage to track how real people talk about your brand, your competitors, and your industry across social platforms. Built for communications and marketing teams who need audience intelligence that surveys and focus groups can’t capture at speed or scale.

From Research Questions to Audience Intelligence

1
Frame the Listening Brief
We define the questions your listening program needs to answer: brand perception, competitive positioning, campaign reception, category trends, or crisis early-warning. This shapes every keyword set, platform priority, and reporting framework that follows.

Listening Delivers More With the Right Partners

Media Monitoring

Social listening captures what audiences say in organic conversation. Media monitoring captures what journalists and outlets publish. Running both gives your team the full picture: earned media plus audience reaction, in one view.

Brand Performance Analysis

Listening surfaces qualitative themes. Brand performance analysis quantifies them into share of voice, sentiment scores, and competitive benchmarks. Together, they answer both the “what are people saying” and the “what does it mean for our position.”

Frequently asked
questions​

We track conversations across Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit. In the Philippine market, Facebook is typically the highest-volume source given the country’s 90.8 million users on the platform, but we configure platform priorities based on where your specific audience is most active. For industry-specific forums, blogs, or niche community platforms, we build custom tracking as part of your query architecture.

Social media analytics measures the performance of your own accounts: follower counts, engagement rates, reach metrics. Social listening looks outward at what people across the platform ecosystem are saying about your brand, your competitors, and your industry, regardless of whether they’re interacting with your channels directly. Analytics tells you how your content performed. Listening tells you what your audience actually thinks.

Yes. Philippine social conversations frequently switch between Filipino, English, and Taglish within a single post or thread. Our query architecture accounts for bilingual and code-switching patterns, including regional language variations, so we capture conversations that monolingual keyword sets would miss entirely. This is a critical capability in the Philippine market where language use is highly fluid.

Reporting cadence is set during the listening brief stage and can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your needs. Trend detection alerts operate in real time regardless of reporting cadence. For campaign-specific listening programs, we typically recommend weekly reports during active campaign periods and monthly during steady-state monitoring.
