Smart social media marketing today is not only about knowing if your ad spend is having an impact for your brand, it’s about knowing how your competitors are investing their money on social. These are the key competitive intelligence challenges that Socialbakers Suite will help you solve today:

Today it’s critical for marketers to measure their competitors’ investment in social media. Knowing how effectively your competitors are promoting their content is the first step towards aligning your brand’s budget on social. With Socialbakers Suite, you can gain exclusive insights into your competitors’ paid strategy and gain the competitive edge.
Find out how your competitors are spending on social
Uncovering the volume of promoted content your competitors invest in is one way to understand if they’re spending more or less to reach the same audience you are competing for. If your brand is behind, this serves as an incentive to increase budget and optimize your spend.
Measure the effectiveness of competitors’ promoted content
Knowing the share of organic and paid content and seeing how it impacts the overall page engagement for your competitors will show which brands’ social media strategy is performing better. Your competitors might be getting a majority of their interactions from paid content, but if your brand is getting more organic reach, you can be certain your strategy is more efficient.
