- How is social media monitoring different from social media management?
- Social media management is the practice of creating and publishing content, managing brand accounts, and responding to direct engagement on your own social channels. Social media monitoring and listening is the practice of tracking what others are saying about you across all public platforms — including conversations your brand isn't part of and platforms you may not have accounts on. They're complementary disciplines, and we offer both.
- Do you monitor in Bangla?
- Yes — this is one of our core differentiators. A large majority of BD brand conversation happens in Bangla, on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and local platforms. Our monitoring combines Bangla-capable tools with manual review by Bangla-native analysts, and our sentiment analysis classifies Bangla-language content accurately rather than misclassifying or ignoring it.
- What is an "untagged mention" and why does it matter?
- An untagged mention is any public post or comment that references your brand without using @yourbrandname — for example, "Has anyone tried [Brand]? I bought their product last week and the quality was really poor." These conversations are often where the most candid audience feedback lives, and they make up the majority of real brand conversation. Standard inbox monitoring misses them entirely.
- Can you monitor Facebook groups?
- Yes. Facebook groups require specific monitoring approaches since group content isn't indexed by most standard listening tools. We combine tool-based monitoring with manual review of relevant groups — consumer complaint groups, industry communities, regional communities, and category-specific groups where brand conversations are most significant.
- How quickly do you alert us when something significant happens?
- Alert timing depends on plan and configured thresholds — Starter plans receive email alerts typically within a few hours of detection; Growth and Enterprise plans include near-real-time alerts for configured high-priority signals like sentiment spikes or volume surges. Crisis-tier alert protocols with on-call response are available on Enterprise Plus.
- Can you monitor our competitors too?
- Yes. Competitor monitoring is included in Growth plans (up to 3 competitors) and Enterprise plans (up to 8 competitors), with custom scope for Enterprise Plus. Competitive listening is one of the highest-value components of a mature listening program.
- Do you monitor YouTube and TikTok comments?
- Yes. YouTube comments and TikTok content and comments are included in Growth and Enterprise plans. These platforms host significant brand-relevant conversations that Facebook-only monitoring misses.
- What's in the monthly intelligence report?
- Monthly reports cover mention volume trends by platform, sentiment analysis and trend, top positive and negative mention content with context, emerging narrative patterns, competitive intelligence summary, influencer mention highlights, crisis signal assessment, and specific recommended actions. Reports are written for decision-makers — findings and recommendations, not raw data.
- Can you monitor media and news as well as social?
- Yes. Our Growth and Enterprise plans include media and news monitoring alongside social monitoring, with social amplification tracking connecting news content to its social spread — showing not just what was published but what gained social traction.
- How is listening different from a survey or focus group?
- Surveys and focus groups capture what people say when asked — often shaped by social desirability and question framing. Social listening captures what people say unprompted, in natural conversation, to genuine peers — often more candid, more spontaneous, and more representative of real opinion. They're complementary research methods, but listening captures a behavioral reality that formal research often misses.
- What industries do you specialize in for social listening?
- We have listening programs active across healthcare, financial services, real estate, FMCG, e-commerce, hospitality, education, telecom, corporate/holding companies, and NGOs. Category-specific listening knowledge — which groups to monitor, which signal patterns predict escalation, what competitive benchmarks look like — accumulates differently by industry and we apply it.
