How do I stack up against my competitors on social media?
Most marketers always ask experts this question. The data-driven marketers don’t just want to know how their social media post is doing; they want to know how they’re doing against similar posts by their competitors.
Needless to say that with great data comes great social strategy. The “2019 Social Media Benchmark Report” provides you with the data you need to truly benchmark your social media performance against your industry competitors.
Rival IQ has surveyed more than 1,800 of the most engaging brands and companies to analyze the engagement rates, posting frequency, post types, and hashtags for the top three social channels for brands: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Here are a sneak peek to dig into what’s behind the social media marketing success of the most engaging brands in each industry:
