What is “social search” and why does it matter?
![Page 5: Simon Rogers](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042521/5556b816d8b42abb428b46df/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Search is brand
• This is how searchers’ eyes move on the page• Organic search dominates the “golden triangle”• 75% of searchers are buyers (GVU/Georgia Inst)

Social search is not just del.icio.us … it’s Google!
• Search ranking is determined by “relevant”, contextual links, giving authority by link and linker
• This makes conversational networks extremely important, giving influencer to those who are talking about a topic
• A brand may be part of that conversation, but the conversation is not bounded by the brand

How does a brand identify and join relevant conversations?

Monitor sentiment: because advocacy works …

What does it look like?

Identify influencers: they can teach you about your brand
• Social network analysis• Construct a network around the topic• Crawling around a search phrase• Following all links, until context is lost• Perform citation indexing• High score = relevance = authority = influence about differing levels of "connectedness" or authority?• Method predicts offline influence

What are the characteristics of influencers?
• Not what you would expect ... "bloggers"• Tend to be connected "sources"• Directories, databases, charities• Approaching them requires different methodologies- via existing networks, through existing promoters- neutrally, through tailored content- through opt-in offers-"cold“• Profiling is vital

It always goes to the product
• What are the key strengths of your product?• How do they relate to the themes of the commentary you have identified?• What are the things that differentiate you and which drive positive word of mouth?• Pick one of the themes which goes to the heart of your product

Strategy: action first, then comms

How does this apply to a campaign?
• Has my NPI moved in response to my campaign - +ively?• Has my NPI moved in response to my actions (e.g. in
customer service)?• Can I trace other responses?• What new topics are driving conversation, how can I respond?• Finally, what is the outcome of the campaign relative to a
campaign with no WoM element?• P&G claim uplift of 10%. • Travel companies report 26%-42% uplift on clickthroughs in
paid search
