Do you remember
when you started
posting on social?

Lack of an overall strategy is the
biggest issue a business can have.
.

No Strategy
- Why am I doing this?
- Is what I’m doing
effective?

Goals will force you to answer the questions you
need to create a successful strategy.
Determining your goals is the first step on your
business’s journey to success.
Setting Smart Goals helps you Avoid Vanity Metrics
Getting Started

• Specific. Singular, focused and well-defined
• Measurable. Uses numbers.
• Attainable. Realistic for your timeframe.
• Relevant. Impacts current business or
challenges.
•Time-Based. The goal has a deadline.

Increase website traffic by 33% within three months
by blogging weekly and daily Facebook posting.
Grow Twitter followers by 100 over the next month by
posting valuable content and promoting existing
followers content.

Measuring Social Media’s ROI
Tips & Tools

Inbound Marketing Methodology Review
Social media supports many parts of the inbound process,
but especially the “Attract” and “Delight” stages.

Social Media ROI Challenges
Common Business Challenges
• Determining:
• What’s working
• What’s not
• Why
• Knowing which channels and activities are
most valuable (data-backed decisions)
• Reporting ROI

Measuring Social Media ROI:
Tips & Tools for Analyzing Results
Google Analytics
• Available to anyone with
GA code installed
• Includes social media
impact analytics
• Provides data related to
measuring social ROI

Measuring Social Media ROI: Google Analytics
These four elements measured by Google Analytics help define your social impact:
• Network Referrals - What social network the visit came from. It's important to
understand how users from different sources engage/behave on your website.
• Conversions - You can set up conversion goals and measure the conversion and
monetary value of social traffic.
• Landing Pages - In Google Analytics, these are the pages visitors land on when
entering your website.
• Social Plugins - Shows data from social plugin buttons on your site (for example,
Google "+1" buttons). These buttons allow your users to share content to social
networks directly from your site. These reports will tell you what content is being
shared, and on which networks.

Google Analytics
Which channels drive the most visits? What do they do once they
land?

Google Analytics
When on Landing
Pages reports, click
the URL in the table to
see the originating
social networks for
that URL.
Note: GA landing
pages are defined
differently than
HubSpot landing
pages.
Trackbacks reporting
shows which sites are
linking to yours and in
what context.
Look for patterns to
replicate successful
content and build
relationships with those
linking to you.

Google Analytics
Make it easy for visitors to share your content to social media sites.
Social Plugins: Work Smarter, Not
Harder
• The Social Plugins report shows data
from social plugin buttons on your site.
• These are the buttons that allow your
users to share content to social networks
directly from your site.
• Social Plugins reporting tells you what
content is being shared, and on which
networks.

Measuring Social Media ROI: Google Analytics
• Conversions (once set up) can be tracked through Google Analytics.
• Invest time on channels which provide high quality traffic, not just high
volume traffic.

Measuring Social Media ROI: HubSpot Reports
For the HubSpot customers in the room, there are multiple reports to
help you analyze your social media ROI. Here are a few options...
Sources Reports

• Google Analytics and HubSpot can both provide conversion data.
• In Sources Reports (HubSpot), contact and customer conversions are
tied to the first way a lead found you.
Sources Reporting

• Use “Campaigns” to measure the effectiveness of specific content
topics and see what drives the most traffic and conversions from
social media.
• Compare which campaigns are most effective on which social
networks.
Sources Reporting
If no campaign was tagged,
you can go back and
associate posts with a
campaign.

If no campaign was tagged, you can go back and associate posts with a
campaign…

• Social Publishing Reports allow you to see what gets the most clicks
and interactions.
• Sort by clicks and engagement to see what’s working best on each
channel and what fell short.
