Social Listening Services
As a social listening company, we track what people say about your brand, your products and your competitors across social media, forums, news and reviews. Most of those mentions never tag your account, so you would not see them otherwise. We turn that stream into alerts for urgent issues and monthly reports your team can act on.

Key takeaways
- Search queries are tested and trimmed of false matches before alert rules for spikes and safety terms go live.
- Sentiment is checked by hand on sample posts, since automated scores miss sarcasm and slang.
- Private accounts, closed groups and direct messages stay out of reach for any listening tool.
Social Listening Versus Social Media Monitoring
The two terms are often used together, but they do different jobs. A social media monitoring service watches for mentions and alerts you so someone can respond. It is about the next hour.
Social listening looks at the pattern. What topics keep coming up? Is sentiment shifting? Which complaints repeat? What do people like about a competitor that they do not say about you? It is about the next quarter.
We offer both. You can start with monitoring for fast response, then add monthly listening reports once the setup is tuned. Our financial services social media and crypto social media marketing pages show how we watch for impersonators in those fields.
What Our Social Listening Service Tracks
We build the query set with you, then refine it as we learn what is noise.
Brand Mentions
Your brand name, misspellings, product names, hashtags and executive names.
Competitors
Share of voice, sentiment and common praise or complaints for the brands you compete with.
Industry Topics
Terms and questions in your category that show emerging trends or content ideas.
Risk Signals
Words tied to safety, legal, outages, recalls or fraud, routed to urgent alerts.
Campaign Tracking
Mentions and sentiment around a launch, event or promotion.
How Our Social Listening Agency Sets It Up
Step 1: We agree on goals, such as faster complaint response, product feedback or competitor research. Step 2: We build search queries with brand terms, exclusions and languages. Step 3: We test the queries for a couple of weeks and remove false matches.
Step 4: We set alert rules, such as a spike in negative mentions or any mention of a safety term. Step 5: Each month you get a report with volume, sentiment, top themes, sample posts and recommended actions.
We use established platforms such as Brandwatch, Sprout Social, Talkwalker or Meltwater, depending on your needs and budget. Tool licenses may be billed through us or directly to you.
Limits a Social Media Listening Agency Should Tell You About
No tool sees everything. Private accounts, closed groups and direct messages are not visible. Some platforms limit how much data tools can access, and coverage varies by source.
Automated sentiment scores also miss sarcasm, slang and context. A post saying a product is "sick" may be praise. So we review samples by hand before we report a trend.
We will not promise to catch every mention or to stop negative posts. We will promise a well-tuned setup, clear alert rules and honest reading of the data. For reviews on sites such as Google, our brand monitoring and reputation management services cover that side.
Pricing for a Social Media Listening Service
Cost depends on mention volume, the number of brands and competitors tracked, the platforms covered, alert hours and the listening tool. Monitoring with weekly summaries starts at $1,000 a month. Full listening with monthly insight reports is quoted up front after the free growth audit. Tool licenses are usually extra.
As a social media monitoring agency, we connect alerts to our community management service and your PR contacts, so they reach the people who can act. Listening also feeds our wider social media marketing services.

Social Listening Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Ask us anything else on the free audit call.
You get alerts for urgent mentions, set up the way we agree with you, plus a monthly report on volume, sentiment, themes and competitors. Each report ends with recommended actions. We also share sample posts so you can see the context.
No. Listening tools only see public content that platforms make available. Private accounts, DMs and closed groups are not included.
We work with established platforms such as Brandwatch, Sprout Social, Talkwalker and Meltwater. We pick based on the sources you need and your budget. If you already have a license, we can work in your account.
Alert speed depends on the tool and your coverage hours. How fast a tool picks up public posts varies by platform and source. We agree on who gets alerts and how, such as email or Slack.
It can be, mainly for competitor research and catching complaints. Small brands often have low mention volume, so a lighter monitoring plan may be a better fit than a full listening program.
