    I would not recommend Followerwonk to a company who wasn't taking their Twitter strategy seriously. If it's something that receives very little attention or something that isn't being contributed to with any regularity or consistency, there's little need to understand more about your customers and users. However, there if social media is a component that is critical in your industry or in your business, knowledge is the key to success. Followerwonk allows your social media team to have the deep insight they need to make impressions on Twitter. The Followerwonk tool also allows you to become and remain competitive against others in your space by seeing how you stack up against them, who they follow, and what authority they have on Twitter.

    Cons
    Followerwonk

    • Monitoring mentions beyond Twitter.
    • Many issues are due to APIs, but in some cases there are restrictions on the number of terms you can track.
    • Ability to set standard/saved terms (e.g. brand name) when building new trackers to save time.

    We will keep using it as long as it remains part of our Moz Pro subscription. If it were separated and the price point did not rise astronomically, we would be very likely to continue using the platform.

    I really like the tool for some great insights but you also need another tool for other insights too. It is a great asset to the toolbox and not an all-rounder.

    Tweetreach is very affordable and quite flexible for what you pay for. We use it regularly as it is able to capture data not available in some of the most expensive tools we have access to.

    Return on Investment
    Followerwonk
    • One initiative our team launched was a series of educational webinars. We have been able to add an average of six new leads per webinar because of social media. If the messages had been delivered at non-peak times, there would be less likelihood of success.
    • When it comes to social media, it's difficult to nail down specific ROI without referencing a specific campaign. However, our team has seen a consistent follower growth with increasing RT's and Favorites. I attribute this to the right content hitting the right people at the right time.
    • Our team has uncovered a number of valuable relationships with other Twitter users in our industry that have helped us increase the reach of our overall marketing message. These relationships were uncovered using Followerwonk's keyword search.
