An excellent article is published on Marketing Sherpa on “How to Track (and Influence) Consumer Buzz Online About Your Brand - 6 Steps “.
The steps are:-
- Determine how big your potential fire is
- Decide who will track the key sites identified for CGM
- Create a targeted Top 10 list of sites to check frequently (blogs in on the list)
- Track buzz by type: positive, negative buzz
- Look at "believability"
- Identify key issues
