THE BRIEF
Understand what it is that we actually want to find out:• Do we want a global picture?• Do we want a UK picture?• A European picture? (If so what does Europe mean?)• How visible is the client?• Is a competitor analysis required?
What kind of social media are we looking at?• Baseline is looking at their position on Google and examining inbound links• B2B will tend to be blogs and possibly twitter, LinkedIn or Xing• B2C likely to be all of the above, plus flickr, Facebook, YouTube

7 out of 10 web journeys start from search, so Google is the best place to startFor local searches (UK, Germany etc) the local Google site is best. Search engines have the one global index but optimise results for local marketsSearches can be filtered and refined to tease out results

SEARCH
In search you are trying to discover:Who links to a clients site or a competitor: is there any crossover? Are there any back-links?What words Google associates with their siteWhat other ‘key words’ should be associatedYou can infer other information based on the value of the words, amount of searches and and the semantics of similar words

QUARKBASE

BRITISH & EUROPEAN SEARCH
There isn’t a definitive way of separating sites by their locationMost of Europe is easy because of the linguistic differencesWith English you need to think about the semantics of language: •colour vs color•grey vs gray•sulphur vs sulfur
Otherwise its hard work

SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING
Many of the search tools looked at earlier will provide an RSS feed for future findsThis can convert our snapshot into a moving picture – monitoringUsing Yahoo! Pipes we can machine translate foreign articles and merge RSS feeds to provide a monitoring stream. Creating a ‘pipe’ is as easy as creating a flow chart in PowerPoint
