Astute Social

Start by connecting every profile you manage—social networks, forums, and major review sites. Add the keywords, competitors, and locations you care about, then set real‑time alerts for spikes in chatter. Use saved filters to separate product feedback from sales opportunities, and build rules that tag content by topic or sentiment. As new posts roll in, the inbox groups related messages, highlights urgent items, and lets you assign owners in one click. This setup ensures nothing slips through, even when volume surges.

Plan your content in the calendar with clear themes, deadlines, and assigned reviewers. Draft copy once, then tailor variations per channel with image and link previews before queuing. Choose best‑time slots by audience and region, attach UTM parameters, and set auto‑publishing for nights and weekends. For recurring campaigns—weekly tips, monthly announcements—save templates and drop them into your queue. When last‑minute news hits, pause or reorder the queue without losing your schedule. After posting, the performance view shows which formats, times, and captions drive reach and clicks so you can refine the next wave.

Handle customer conversations from a shared inbox that brings DMs, comments, and reviews into one workflow. Use quick replies for common questions, and set escalation paths: route billing issues to finance, product bugs to support, and VIP messages to account managers. Link your CRM so new leads are created from qualifying comments, and keep the record updated with conversation history. For reviews, apply macros that suggest responses, log resolution steps, and close the loop when the customer updates their rating. SLA timers, collision detection, and internal notes keep the team coordinated and on schedule.

Measure progress with dashboards built for campaigns, teams, and locations. Track brand health via mention volume, sentiment, and share of voice. Compare creatives, hooks, and posting windows to find the winners, then export reports with annotations for stakeholders. Create alerting for sudden drops in engagement or unusual keyword swings. Agencies can manage many brands from one place with role‑based access, client‑specific approvals, and white‑label reports. Small and mid‑sized companies get the same clarity at a lighter scale—set up once, automate the busywork, and focus on content and customer relationships that move the needle.
