What do we mean by “Value”?

Value of social media will differ across companies:

Brand awareness/affinity?

Engagement?

Cost savings?

Customer retention? Loyalty?

Advocacy?

Conversion, revenue?

Definition: Relative Worth, Utility, or Importance

And can be measured by:

Soft metrics:

Brand affinity, perception,

Reputation, SOV, sentiment

Hard Metrics:

Traffic, Leads

Conversion, Revenue

Need to balance nurturing communities and promotional efforts

Social metrics that impact Search

• Facebook’s metrics are substantially better correlated with rankings

• Low Twitter correlation could also be due to less public data available

• Red bar is a benchmark of a traditional SEO signal
