Generative AI is everywhere now. You see it in content, campaigns, customer experiences, and even internal workflows. It promises speed, scale, and efficiency, but there’s a harder question sitting underneath all that progress; Do your audiences actually trust it?

Trust in the Age of AI: What Consumers Really Think About AI Generated Content

Today, PR teams aren’t just tracking media coverage and share of voice. They’re also measuring how their brand shows up in AI-generated answers, search summaries, and large language models (LLMs). This new LLM visibility layer is quickly becoming a critical part of PR performance.

You can learn a lot about your customers on social media. Whether they’re engaging with your brand or having completely separate conversations, you can get to know more about them, what they like and don’t like, and most importantly, what drives them to buy. Social media insights let you tap into this information so you can use it to your advantage. 

When using social media insights, you’ll focus on three priorities: how to collect them, how to understand them, and how to use them in your business. 

We’re going to cover all of the above so you can start using social media to get better business outcomes.

Leveraging Social Media Insights for Business Growth

Key Metrics and Analytics for Social Media Insights

Tools and Techniques for Gathering Social Media Insights 

Case Studies: How Businesses Have Leveraged Social Media Insights

We define social media insights as the valuable data points that reveal trends, patterns, and audience behaviors. These insights go beyond likes and shares. Ultimately, they reveal what your target audience likes, their preferences, habits, or needs, how they feel about a brand, and what drives them to act.

Discovering who your customers are based on customer profiling, demographics, shared interests, and other customer segments

Analyzing customer sentiment about a particular topic or campaign

Learning what customers love about your product or service

Finding opportunities for improvement based on customer comments and feedback

Knowing the best times of day to post content so your audience will see it

Businesses can use social media insights to create content strategies that resonate with their audience. By doing so, they can boost engagement and conversions and grow their bottom lines.

Social media insights can help marketers improve decision-making, expand their reach, and increase conversions. Let’s look at some ways that the right insights can enable business growth.

Social media insights can reveal a lot about how your audience engages with content on social media and the types of content they prefer. Using a social insight tool like Meltwater, you can learn more about what your audience talks about, the content they engage with, and the actions they take (such as clicking links and converting to leads).

These insights can contribute to business growth by meeting your audience where they are and giving them what they want. The more you cater to their preferences, the more likely they are to stay engaged and become your social media advocates.

Want to see how Meltwater's social listening solution can provide in-depth data on your audience? Fill out the form below and an expert will be in touch!

Using social media insights, marketers can decide what content to create, the best formats for engagement (e.g., videos, blogs, memes), and where to post them.

Let’s say you start receiving an influx of DMs about a certain product or feature. This might inspire you to create videos, fact sheets, FAQs, or even separate landing pages that address their questions.

Or maybe you find that most of your audience isn’t watching your videos in full. You might opt for shorter videos or try other content formats.

These insights can help you optimize your content strategy outside of social media, too. By learning what your audience likes and doesn’t like, you can use these insights to drive your entire content strategy — including email, webinars, landing pages, and more.

Tip: Check out our guide for building a comprehensive content strategy, complete with a free content calendar template!

When you run marketing campaigns on social media, you automatically collect data and insights on those campaigns, but likes, comments, and shares don’t tell the full story. When you compare campaign data to other campaigns, you can start learning more about what makes a campaign effective.

For example, you might notice that a video ad campaign got more views, traffic, and conversions compared to a static ad campaign. You might also compare things like creative elements, calls to action, and the product being promoted to find the common denominators of your most successful campaigns.

Over time, these social media insights can help you craft more impactful campaigns and maximize your marketing budget.

Customer segments refer to multiple customers who share characteristics. The deeper you dig into your social media audience, the more you can uncover about their preferences, interests, habits, and decision-making processes. These social media consumer insights can tell you a lot about why customers buy, what motivates them to act, and how to capture their interest.

When you uncover new segments, you can create content and campaigns that speak directly to the unique attributes of these segments. 

It’s easier to personalize your marketing and optimize your budget when you can narrow your focus to niche audiences. You also have a better chance of getting their attention when you can speak directly to their needs and interests.

Social media insights can act as an early warning system for potential reputational risks. Monitoring brand mentions, sentiments, and information spreading through social channels helps marketers identify issues and respond to them accordingly. 

Timely and effective responses can mitigate reputational damage and even turn challenging situations into opportunities for growing your brand image. Take advantage of these moments to demonstrate your customer service and commitment to quality.

Marketers need to collect the right metrics that will help them understand and use their insights. Let’s review some key areas you can analyze to make better business decisions.

We define reach as the number of unique people who see your content, while impressions refer to the number of times people see your content. One person might see the same content multiple times, which is why we differentiate between reach and impressions.

Both are necessary when talking about social media insights. This helps you see whether your content is being seen and how many people you’re reaching with it. They also add context to your engagement metrics (more on those in a moment) — if reach and impressions are high but engagement is low, you might be targeting the wrong audience or need to improve the quality of your posts.

Tip: Read our full breakdown of social media metrics and their importance.

Typical engagement metrics such as likes, shares, comments, and views give you a great starting point for deeper insights. These metrics can help you see how your audience responds to your content.

While engagement rates aren’t everything, they do help brands learn what their audience likes. Content that gets high engagement can inspire future content decisions. If your content gets a sudden spike in engagement, you’ll know you’ve struck a chord (or a nerve) with your audience.

Learn what drives engagement and build on your successes — and avoid repeating your potential failures.

Customer sentiment and brand perceptions are a little harder to calculate just by looking at the numbers. Instead, you can use social media analysis tools like Meltwater to learn more about the emotions and context behind conversations.

We define customer sentiment as the way people feel about a brand or topic. It’s not something we measure by likes and shares, as you don’t know each customer’s motivations behind their engagement. Sentiment analysis adds this extra layer to the puzzle by revealing what people are saying and how they’re saying it.

Learning about customer sentiment can also help you understand how others perceive your brand. You can use these insights to see whether your branding and messaging are creating the results you want or missing the mark. From there, you can take control of the narrative and shape the perceptions you want them to have.

Tools and Techniques for Gathering Social Media Insights

Your social media analytics are a great place to start gathering insights. But these tools don’t provide a complete picture. Beyond engagement rates, reach, and impressions, you can use other tools and techniques to peel back the layers of your social media impact. Here are a few social media insights examples to get you started.

Sentiment analysis tools are purpose-built to look for context behind comments and behaviors. These tools analyze text data from various sources such as social media, reviews, and surveys to gauge how customers feel about products or services.

This allows marketers to track trends in sentiment over time. They can also get real-time insight if there’s a potential problem that needs to be addressed. These tools are valuable not just for learning about customers but also for protecting your brand’s reputation.

Tip: Learn more about sentiment analysis, and sentiment analysis APIs.

We talked earlier about customer segmentation. Dedicated tools can uncover hidden connections and links between customers so you can identify new segments at scale.

Customer segmentation tools use data mining and analysis to group customers or social media users based on behaviors, demographics, engagement, and other criteria. 

Tip: Check out our customer segmentation examples to learn how to use segments in marketing for social media and beyond.

Companies of all sizes and industries can benefit from social media insights. From discovering who your audience is to learning how they engage with you (or other brands), take a page from the playbook of brands using social insights right. 

For example, Domino’s France uses Meltwater to glean social media insights and create more effective content. Meltwater helped the brand bring its social media management in-house and stay in the loop about all things pizza. Their team relies on Meltwater to learn about real-time traffic spikes, engagement, and sentiment, which allows them to be responsive with content and messages.

Hyundai is another example of social media consumer insights done right. The car brand uses these insights to learn the general sentiment about electric cars and know how to discuss the cars with their audience. 

One final example is realme, a trendy consumer tech company with a global presence. The company uses Meltwater to stay ahead of trends and topics on social media, monitor share of voice, and see how others are talking about their products.

Leveraging Social Media Insights

Social media research helps you unlock the potential of social content for business. We’re living in a world where tweets hold power and likes shape perceptions. When you know what to publish and who you’re posting it for, you can construct a stronger strategy that helps you meet key goals.

Data isn’t just about numbers; it’s about uncovering narratives and following the breadcrumbs of likes, shares, and comments to gain deeper understandings. There’s a method to the madness of selfies and status updates. The right approach to social media research helps you learn more about the collective consciousness of society — and use it to your advantage.

Let’s explore the language of social media likes and shares and dig beneath the surface of our digital interactions.

Success Stories: Real World Examples of Social Media Research

Social media research is the process of using social media data to learn about trending topics, audiences, and content performance. Reviewing social data gives you quantitative insights (e.g., engagement rates, best posting times), but it can also lead to qualitative learnings like human behaviors, preferences, and opinions.

When conducting social media research, companies can look for patterns and sentiments to drive their social media marketing strategy. They can decide what content to create, which channels to post on, how to reach their audience, when to post content, and a myriad of other decisions that will lead to faster results.

There’s no single best way to do social media research. You can manually review engagement on your posts or look at your competitors’ content. Or you can use third-party social listening tools to aggregate social data for you. 

Social media research can be formal (like a traditional research project) or informal. You might have a certain goal in mind, or you might not know what you’re looking for and just want to see what pops up. 

No matter what channels you choose, you can gain a wealth of insights from built-in social analytics. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter give you instant intel about your content performance and audiences. 

Even better, you don’t always need to know what you’re looking for. You can start combing through your analytics, then jot down questions or ideas you want to explore further.

Tip: Learn more in our blog The Complete Guide to Social Media Analytics.

Google Alerts is a free and underrated tool that gives you unique angles and insights on a given topic. You can set up a Google Alert related to a keyword or topic of your choice, then receive a daily digest of articles published on that topic. 

From there, you can learn more about what other brands and businesses are publishing. Repurpose your findings into your social media content to get ahead of trends and topics. You can lead conversations instead of joining them after they blow up on social.

Social listening tools like Meltwater let you be the fly on the wall in the social world. You can “listen” to what your audience is saying and truly be everywhere all at once. 

These tools monitor billions of publicly available data points across multiple social channels, like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. They help brands track mentions of their products or brand names in real time so you can become part of important conversations. 

You can also track topics related to your niche or learn more about what your audience is talking about beyond your brand. This gives you direct insight into their lifestyles so you can meet them where they are authentically.

Want to learn more about how Meltwater could help your social media research? Fill out the form below and an expert will be in touch!

Taking social listening a step further, you can add media intelligence tools to the mix to learn what’s being talked about beyond social media. Meltwater’s media intelligence suite lets you monitor TV and radio channels, blogs, print media, and other new sources around the world.

This gives you more comprehensive insights into hot topics and trends that you can repurpose for social media. News-worthy events make their way to social media, giving you an easy “in” to your audience’s attention. 

Aside from the social-specific aspect, social media research holds a few advantages over traditional research. 

For starters, social research gives you real-time data that’s constantly changing. You can also get the most specific insights according to your audience and social channels, not just general info. This means you can shorten the research curve and get faster insights about topics that matter to you. 

By comparison, traditional research is often a more structured approach with specific goals in mind. It typically requires lots of sources and manual effort. It takes time to find and vet sources, cross-reference data, and ensure a high level of accuracy. 

Combining both types of research can give you the most comprehensive view of your audience.

Now that you know what social media research is, let’s explore some ways you can apply it to your business.

Analyzing social media data can help you pinpoint who your target audience is (because it’s not always who you think). You might have your audience defined on the surface with basics like age, gender, and geographic location, but social research can dig several layers deeper to uncover new audience segments you haven’t considered. 

Audiences evolve all the time. Their preferences, needs, and interests change. This means that who you want to reach today might not be the same person you want to connect with in the future. Constantly finding new things about your audience will help you continue generating content that captures their interests.

Monitoring online conversations and feedback gives companies a direct path to reputation management. You can more easily spot when trouble might be brewing so you can act fast and defend against hits to your brand image.

Proactively engaging with customers on social platforms shows that the company values their opinions and is committed to providing excellent customer service. This not only builds trust and loyalty but also strengthens the brand's reputation as a customer-centric organization.

Optimize social media marketing campaigns

When you know more about your audience and past content performance, you’re in a better position to create better posts that resonate. Learn what type of content your audience prefers based on engagement metrics. Tailor your content and messaging to reflect their interests and needs.

You’ll also have insights about what’s hot in the social media world. You can use these trends as the foundation for your own content, taking the guesswork out of what you should talk about. 

Tip: Learn more about tailoring your content and messaging in our Personalization at Scale Guide!

Collecting social media research from outside data sources brings ethics and privacy into question. Marketers should be proactive in asking where their data is coming from and how it was obtained. 

Ideally, you’ll choose tools that are in compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Know how they obtain data and whether they safeguard individual users’ information. Getting ahead of your competitors shouldn't be at the expense of your customers’ privacy or potential legal challenges.

Companies around the world use social media research to drive engagement, create better content, and grow their brand presence. 

Take Shiseido, for instance. This Meltwater customer uses our Explore solution to learn what makes their brand special across 120 markets. The company uses social listening to monitor competitors, unify social mentions in a single dashboard, and understand the brand’s presence on a global stage.

Another Meltwater customer, Fifty Acres, uses the platform to learn about relevant narratives happening on social media. Learning what others are talking about allows them to shape their own stories, pitch new ideas for business growth, and connect with people in the right places at the right times.

W Hotels in Singapore is another great example of social media research at work. The company uses Meltwater to learn more about what customers like when traveling, allowing them to create custom experiences in their hotels.

Last but not least, Mailchimp uses Meltwater to inform its content strategy. The company looks for trends and themes on social media that resonate with creators, allowing them to easily scale their content by making their audience go bananas over every post.

Social Media Research: A Comprehensive Guide

Choosing the right customer segmentation model helps you reap all of the promised benefits of segmentation. Customer segmentation is like organizing a library by genre, making it easier for readers to find the books they are interested in. You want to be the go-to brand or business your customers choose when they need what you offer, and to do this successfully, you need to know how to connect with customers in ways they’ll respond to.

Let’s face it — no two customers are exactly alike. The more commonality you can find between them, the easier it is to speak their language and reach them in ways your competitors aren’t. Connecting begins with knowing the right way to segment your customers, and there are various models to show you how.

Let’s explore three common customer segmentation models and how to choose the right one (or combination of models) to fuel your marketing strategy.

Unlocking the Power of Customer Segmentation Models with Meltwater

In previous articles, we covered the basics of customer segmentation as well as examples of customer segmentation done right and the top customer segmentation tools. But knowing what segmentation is and seeing it in action aren’t enough; brands also need to understand how to apply segmentation to their own strategies.

Let’s look at three different customer segmentation models that can inspire your next steps:

Demographic segmentation refers to grouping audiences by surface-level factors like age, income, education, or geographic location. You might apply several demographic criteria to segment your audiences, for example, a luxury car campaign targeting married individuals in California with a household income of $500,000 or more.

This type of segmentation is particularly useful for:

Understanding your customer base. Knowing the composition of your customer base (e.g., age, gender, income, education, and other demographic factors) creates the foundation for targeting marketing campaigns.

Developing products. Get insights into specific needs, preferences, and purchasing behaviors, which can inform new products and how to price and market them.

Identifying new market possibilities. Businesses can identify new market opportunities by pinpointing demographic segments that are currently underserved or overlooked.

However, demographic segmentation alone isn’t always enough to develop impactful marketing campaigns. It neglects the psychographic and behavioral elements (more on these in a moment) that shed light on buying patterns, preferences, interests, and decision-making.

In many cases, you’ll need to combine demographics with other market segmentation data to craft a well-rounded campaign.

Psychographic segmentation refers to learning and understanding consumer behavior. These might be:

Lifestyle characteristics: Life choices, interests, or hobbies

Personality traits: introverted vs. extroverted, adventurous, etc.

Values: Beliefs, attitudes, or priorities

Psychographic segmentation can be useful in marketing in several ways, including:

Personalizing marketing messages. Marketing campaigns that speak directly to the interests, personalities, and values of the audience have a better chance of standing out and being remembered. Marketing becomes more relevant and effective, which can lead to a healthier marketing ROI.

Positioning and differentiating your brand. Companies can position brands in ways that resonate with the target segment, such as infusing shared values, lifestyle aspects, or personality traits in their branding efforts. This can help companies differentiate from competitors and build deeper connections with customers.

Innovating products. Learning about your segment’s unmet needs and desires can lead to product improvements or new products and services.

Similar to demographic segmentation, psychographic segmentation alone isn’t always enough for marketing success. Once you understand who your customers are, you can segment further by learning how they live, what and why they buy, and the values that are important to them.

Behavioral segmentation refers to grouping customers based on actions. These actions may include purchasing behaviors, usage rate, loyalty status, buying motivations, or the types of marketing messages customers respond to, for example.

This type of segmentation fills in several of the missing pieces of a marketing campaign. Using demographic and psychographic segmentation models, you learn who your customers are and what they like. But ultimately, you also need to know what will make them buy from you. This is arguably the biggest value that behavioral segmentation offers.

Understand purchase behavior. Behavioral data helps businesses analyze how customers interact with their products or services, including their purchasing frequency, spending habits, product usage patterns, and brand loyalty.

Market across the customer lifecycle. Watching your customers’ needs evolve over time, you’ll be in a good position to nurture relationships, encourage repeat purchases, and turn customers into loyal brand advocates.

Customize product recommendations. You can improve recommendations based on actions customers have taken in the past. This takes into account the offers they’ve responded to, what they’ve purchased, the channel(s) they used to find you, and more.

Predict customer churn. Behavioral data (e.g., declines in purchase frequency, lower engagement) can help identify at-risk customers so you can intervene and potentially save the relationship.

These three customer segmentation models together are greater than the sum of their parts. It’s essential to gain a holistic understanding of your customers so you’ll know how to approach them and stay connected.

You wouldn’t market to a 60-year-old grandmother the same way you would a 25-year-old mother of a newborn. While both might purchase the same product, they have different priorities and lifestyles, and you’ll probably approach them in different ways.

That’s the beauty of customer segmentation — you don’t have to settle for one-size-fits-all marketing.

Using one or more of these customer segmentation models can benefit your business in several ways:
