Biz360 Community Insights

Millions of Blogs and Message Boards. What Are They Saying about Your Company?

Blogs and message boards connect your customers, partners, prospects and critical influencers like never before. They're talking about your company—good and bad. And now, instead of telling ten people about a bad experience, social media enables one person to tell the entire world.

That's why you need Community Insights, a measurement and analysis tool that enables you to keep track of what's being said in the blogosphere about your company, its products and competitors, and the trends that impact your business.

With Community Insights, you can:

  • Receive early warning about threats to reputation and brands
  • Learn firsthand how the market perceives your company, products and competitors
  • Find out what's really important to your customers
  • Collect feedback on product quality
  • Measure the effectiveness of product launches, industry events and marketing campaigns
  • Gain an integrated view of blogs, message boards and mainstream media

Blogs not splogs.

For every legitimate blog, there are dozens more that are fakes–the equivalent of spam–splogs. To ensure that Community Insights is monitoring relevant, quality content, Biz360 works with its content partners to identify and add new blogs as they appear. We separate legitimate postings from splogs. Biz360 currently tracks over 15 million active blogs and receives new content 24 x 7.

Expose Threats. Discover Marketing Opportunities. Measure Buzz and Market Reaction.

Community Insights scours the Blogosphere and applies machine learning and Biz360's unique natural-language processing techniques to uncover buzz, measure sentiment, and surface the topics, people and organizations associated with your brands. It surfaces critical information you need to protect corporate reputation, enhance brand value and make informed strategic and tactical decisions.

With Community Insights, marketing and communications executives can:

  • Measure performance and improve marketing campaigns with integrated media measurement
  • Evaluate brand associations, influencers and buzz for threats and opportunities (surfaced automatically)
