Abstract
Social media has drastically improved the way we can reach target audiences and serve our customers. Like its financial counterpart, the social media audit (SMA) can be described as a formalized review of an organization’s social media activities.
However, contrary to financial audits, social media audits are not guided by government regulations or a set of professional rules and standards. This book will address social media marketing issues using a cost-benefit approach, while presenting a template for systematically assessing your organization’s social media activities.
Using the checklists and templates provided will enable readers to conduct an audit that helps identify target areas for performance improvement and recommendations for how to achieve those objectives.
Social media platforms discussed include Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr and Xing.
