We've put together a comprehensive list of search operators that work on Twitter.
Twitter can be a difficult platform to effectively manage. As soon as you start following more than 50 people, or are trying to effectively track mentions of brand names, competitors and keywords, it can become near impossible to hear anything amongst the crowds.
At Receptional, we use a number of customised tracking tools we've built in house to ensure that we can capture a huge amount of data, distilling it down into manageable context that our clients can make informed business decisions on.
So whether you're looking to conduct a competitor analysis, improve your customer sentiment tracking or are looking for a more advanced high level analysis of the industry that you are in, get in touch to see how we can help your business.
