4 Tips for Building Your PR Toolbox

Victoria Taylor June 24, 2020

Let’s talk about data, Twitter data to be specific. Like any social media account, you want the best results from your online marketing efforts. Who doesn’t want to see an increase in followers, retweets, and engagement?

As a brand, your ultimate goal is to use these metrics to increase sales. After all, 75% of B2B businesses market their products or services on Twitter.

Once you’ve finished creating phenomenal content and engaging daily, you should also create a monthly Twitter audit report to measure your account’s ROI.

Without a Twitter audit, you won’t be able to pinpoint your best Twitter strategies, and it all starts with recording the right analytics, which can be a challenge whether you’re an expert or just starting. Using the right Twitter analytics tools can make a big difference between searching through endless Tweets and getting everything you need within a matter of seconds.

Today, I’ll share my favourite free (and paid) Twitter analytics tools you can use to create your next Twitter report.
