Chatmeter’s Enhanced Social Platform Drives Visits for Brands, Chains with Real-Time Social Engagement

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 31, 2017 -- Chatmeter, the leader in local search marketing and review management, today unveiled major enhancements to its social media features that allow brands to better compete with local competitors. The new technology enables major national retail brands and chains to publish, monitor and respond to social activity and customer feedback in real-time at the local store level.

New features include heat map Geo Filtering, customer trend analysis, an interactive social timeline, in-platform publishing and AI sentiment tracking with Chatmeter Pulse.

Available today, and on the heels of Chatmeter’s recent roll-out of new technology and deeper integration with Google and Facebook, Chatmeter now allows brands access to enhanced customer geo-data via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This sophisticated platform lets major brands working with Chatmeter (such as Dickey’s BBQ, Kohl’s and Sears) pinpoint the precise store location of a customer review or social mention to respond in real-time within the dashboard. This allows brands to engage with customers at the local level, streamlining the hundreds or thousands of locations a brand may have.

Chatmeter’s Social Media Enhancements

• GeoFencing – New technology developed by Chatmeter provides a visual heat map of the precise locations where people are visiting and posting social content and reviews. Giving brands a major competitive edge when it comes to local search strategies, marketers along with sales and CRM teams can now hone in on specific brand mentions within regions and stores with greater accuracy and timeliness. This lets brands see trends and issues in real time and address negative posts faster before they escalate.
   
• Sentiment Analysis – Addressing an increased demand among enterprises and national brands to have advanced sentiment analysis technology incorporated into their marketing stack, Chatmeter Pulse is now integrated into the social media features of the Chatmeter platform. Rolled out earlier this year, Pulse incorporates AI and machine learning technology to bring acute awareness of consumer reviews to brands that warrant swifter action. Unlike other social tools, Chatmeter is able to analyze sentiment at the local store or business level, not just across an entire brand, and with sentiment accuracy around 80% (10-15% greater than the industry average).
   
• Publishing – Brands with hundreds or thousands of locations, such as those in the apartment, restaurant, retail and automotive industries, typically have little ability to share and publish consistent content across all business locations in real-time. Resolving this challenge, Chatmeter’s publishing feature includes a comprehensive content library that keeps corporate-approved images and social material in one place and lets marketers distribute and publish in an instant. Now national brands and chains can streamline content management and easily share and post consistent, pre-approved, on-brand content across numerous locations.

“As pioneers in the local reputation space, we are excited to bring our location-based technology to social media content. With geofencing and now publishing, we are making it easier than ever for chains and agencies to manage their brand and messaging at both the corporate and local level,” said Collin Holmes, CEO and Founder of Chatmeter. “Our social media managers who have been beta users are ecstatic about the insights around trends, the time saved on publishing for all their pages and the ability to understand sentiment in different regions of the country that they’ve never before been able to measure.”
