“To hear Mr. Schmidt tell it, the real challenge is one not yet on most investors' minds: how to preserve Google's franchise in Web advertising, the source of almost all its profits, when "search" is outmoded.… As Mr. Schmidt succinctly puts it, ‘We're trying to figure out what the future of search is.’”!!

This advertising platform is even more powerful now that the site can factor in your friends' preferences. If three of your friends click a Like button for, say, Domino's Pizza, you might soon find an ad on your Facebook page that has their names and a suggestion that maybe you should try Domino's too. Peer-pressure advertising! Sandberg and other Facebook execs understand the value of context in selling a product, and few contexts are more powerful than friendship.!!"Marketers have known this for a really long time. I'm much more likely to do something that's recommended by a friend," Sandberg says.!

Yeah...!We Get Your Pain!

While social media has widely been accepted as a mandatory channel for marketing, it has not necessarily matured. Marketers agree that trying to compute the value of a Facebook “Like” or a Twitter “follower” can be terribly difficult. On a whole, social media metrics suffer from many complaints to include... •  Not easy to communicate at the executive level •  Unable to gage competition effectively •  Lacking industry-specific relevance •  No clear association to ROI If you’ve voiced any of these, we’d like to show you something.

While the search for a better social metric system might be frustrating, it is not futile.!

Just because they “Liked” you...!doesn’t mean they like you.!

The value of a Facebook Like, as with many social media metrics, can be completely arbitrary when lacking any appropriate context. In a study of the travel industry*, MarketBridge found that Cancun, while far outdistancing a carefully defined competitive set in Facebook Likes, was seriously deficient in overall brand sentiment. Simply put, growing a social community does not automatically translate into social media success. 1!

MARKETBRIDGE!SQ INDEX!

In a comparison of overall Facebook Likes, Cancun far outdistanced virtually all competitive destinations by almost 100,000 Likes.

Facebook Likes Metric High!

Despite having the volume of community, Cancun’s sentiment in social discussions was significantly lagging behind those with smaller social communities.

Brand Sentiment On Lower End!

* The analysis was done over a 30 day period during the Fall of 2011. Destinations were measured based on the social media efforts of their respective Conference & Visitors Bureaus. Radian 6 was used to determine overall brand sentiment.

Without the right context or analysis, many social metrics are misleading!

Facebook “Likes”!USVI Performs Poorly!Based on this metric, we would assume that the USVI was doing poorly in their marketing efforts and that visitors to the islands cared little to actually attach themselves to the social community.!

Showing a brand’s Facebook fan base in comparison to their competitors is of little value given it’s temporal nature.!

The Rate of Growth (ROG) is slightly better than the simple “Likes” comparison since it gives evidence of who is actually implementing a strategic plan as opposed to those just maintaining a presence.!

USVI Still has massive room for growth!Share of Conversation (SOC) is a more significant metric in social media since it actually shows how well you are doing against your personal goals as opposed to simply how well you measure against your competitors. This slide measures the amount of conversations in social media happening around vacation and trip planning in the U.S against those that talk about the USVI. Essentially, it means that less than 2% of vacation discussions in the U.S. is talking about the USVI.!

The Social Metrics We’re Scoring!

As previously mentioned, many of the metrics individual social channels present are relevant only to your performance on that specific network, and not to your business performance objectives. The SQ Index combines these metrics and determines BOTH how they relate to one another as well as how they relate to your objectives and marketing goals.
