<\/a><\/p>\nSocial Status<\/h2>\n
It would be remiss of me not to include Social Status<\/a> in this list of the best digital marketing tools! Social Status is your one-stop-shop for social media analytics and reporting. One of the biggest pain points facing social media marketers is reporting. Creating monthly, weekly or campaign reports is very time-consuming and error-prone. Social Status automates the entire process through with its social analytics suite consisting of 4 different tools:<\/p>\nProfile Analytics<\/a> lets you connect all the pages and profiles you admin including:<\/p>\n\n- Facebook pages<\/li>\n
- Instagram business profiles<\/li>\n
- Twitter profiles<\/li>\n
- YouTube channels<\/li>\n
- LinkedIn company pages<\/li>\n
- Pinterest profiles (coming soon)<\/li>\n
- Snap profiles (coming soon)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"Social](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tools-social-status.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Once connected you can see all metrics for each post and access extensive and in-depth reporting. Social media reports<\/a> can be exported in PowerPoint PPTX, Acrobat PDF, Google Slides and CSV formats.<\/p>\n![\"Demographics\"](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tools-social-status-demos.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You can access demographics like age, gender, country and city for your fans and followers including any changes to these demographics over time.<\/p>\n
Ads Analytics<\/a> lets you connect your Facebook Ad Accounts and access in-depth reporting for your Campaigns, Ad Sets and Ads. Social Status supports all 14 Facebook ad objectives so no matter what campaigns you run, you’ll be able to see results and create reports from your paid spend on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and the Audience Network.<\/p>\n![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Social-Status-Ads-Analytics-IG-min-1024x544.png\")
<\/p>\n
Competitor Analytics<\/a> lets you connect any public Facebook Page, Instagram business profile, Twitter profile or YouTube channel. Competitor Analytics is perfect for doing competitor analysis, especially for new business pitches or ongoing monthly benchmarking. You can use this feature to spy on your competitors and understand what content is working for them and why.<\/p>\n![\"Competitor](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Social-Status-Competitor-Analytics-Summary-1024x573.png\")
<\/p>\n
Finally, Influencer Analytics<\/a> lets you connect Facebook pages, Instagram business profiles, Twitter profiles or YouTube channels of influencers you work with or plan to work with. If you work with several influencers (a few or even hundreds!) this is a great way to consolidate your campaign reporting into 1 report. Relying on influencers to share their performance with you can be time-consuming and difficult. With Social Status you can automate the entire analytics and reporting process!<\/p>\n![\"Influencer](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Social-Status-Influencer-Analytics-screen-min-1024x819.png\")
<\/p>\n

Its great for identifying and diagnosing SEO problems that might be negatively affecting a site from ranking higher on search engines.

<\/p>\n
Another great feature of SEOptimer is their Keyword Tool<\/a> which tracks the rankings of a site’s main keywords. You can see how well a site is ranking (position on the search results page) as well as the estimated traffic it received from organic search. You can also see how much competition there is on each keyword.<\/p>\n![\"Keyword](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/seoptimer-keywords-1024x492.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nClipchamp<\/h2>\n
Clipchamp<\/a> is a\u00a0video editor, compressor, converter and recorder all in one! With video being a key media type for social channels like Facebook and Instagram, Clipchamp is a super useful tool for editing and manipulating video. Its also got a webcam and screen recorder too. If you want to create video from scratch, Clipchamp also has templates with stock footage and stock audio too.<\/p>\n![\"Clipchamp\"](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tools-clipchamp.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nMobileMonkey<\/h2>\n
Everyone in marketing seems to be talking about Chatbots at the moment, and with good reason. Activity on Messenger, WhatsApp and other messaging tools has been skyrocketing.\u00a0More organizations are realizing conversations lead to better click and conversion rates. While there are many chatbot solutions in market, I’m a big fan of MobileMonkey<\/a>. They have a great OmniChat feature which pulls all messaging channels including SMS into one unified chat inbox – this is the key to customer service efficiency.<\/p>\n![\"MobileMonkey\"](\"https:\/\/www.socialstatus.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/mobile-monkey.png\")
<\/p>\n
MobileMonkey also has heaps of templates, growth tools and integrations into Facebook Ads and Facebook Lead Forms. Its also really cost-effective with monthly pricing starting at just $21.75.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nContent Snare<\/h2>\n
Content Snare<\/a> is a really great app for agencies to manage the back and forth content workflow with their clients. The purpose of the platform is to be the single source of truth for all content. By moving all content workflow into Content Snare you can streamline the production workflow and reduce friction and delays in the process as content moves through the various stage gates. Some workflows can become quite complex when several people\u00a0are involved especially managing revisions and approvals.<\/p>\nOnce you’ve loaded some draft content into Content Snare and assigned due dates and tasks to people, I love how the tool then automatically reminds and follows up with the various people involved. I personally hate chasing people, so relying on the tool to do this is great.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nAwario<\/h2>\n
Awario<\/a> is a social media monitoring tool. Social media monitoring is a fundamental activity that all\u00a0digital marketers should perform. Also known as social media listening, it refers to the practice of finding and analyzing public mentions and conversations on social media channels by anyone (people, brands, influencers, etc).<\/p>\nThis is an impossible task to do manually which is why you need a social media monitoring tool to help find and aggregate mentions. During my time before Social Status, I worked in advertising and digital agencies and used many different social media monitoring tools including Radian6 (now Social Studio), SM2, NUVI, Meltwater, Brandwatch, Mention.com and Trackur but the one that our team and I use here at Social Status is Awario. Not only is it easy to set up and cost-effective but its really powerful too!<\/p>\n
One of my favorite features in Awario is their “Leads” tool which filters social media mentions based on what it believes are likely to be potential new business leads:<\/p>\n

The great thing about GoVisually is it lets you upload your designs to a shared board where your team members can annotate on top of design elements and handle rounds of amends easily and quickly in the one place.
