Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should we respond to trends identified through social listening?
Our response framework helps you categorize opportunities by urgency - with some requiring same-day action, others fitting into your weekly content plan, and some informing longer-term strategy rather than immediate content.
What types of social signals should we prioritize for content decisions?
Our signal prioritization model helps you focus on conversation volume, sentiment shifts, question patterns, and competitive gaps rather than trying to respond to every mention or keyword appearance.
How do we balance planned content with listening-responsive content?
Our content calendar approach typically recommends a 70/30 split for most brands - 70% planned content that maintains your core messaging with 30% flexibility for responding to listening insights and timely opportunities.
How do we avoid chasing every trend we identify through listening?
Our opportunity assessment framework helps you evaluate potential content against brand relevance, audience alignment, and business objectives to identify which listening insights deserve content responses and which are better left unaddressed.
