Most social media tools monitor keywords only, giving you lists of anybody who has mentioned a topic, no matter who they are or whether you've interacted with them before.
HubSpot's Social Inbox takes monitoring further than keywords by focusing on the people who matter to your business. View social activity by customers, leads, or any other segment you want.
Social media tools often give you the ability to view the clickthrough activity around any links you post to your social accounts. This is helpful but not sufficient for more than surface analysis.
Because HubSpot analytics spans all tools, you get insight into the entire interaction history of everyone who visits from social media, from what pages they visit to how often to whether or not they're a customer.
Social media tools are often isolated and disconnected from the other software you use, forcing you to cobble together data from many sources.
HubSpot's integrated toolset makes data analysis easy because all tools are completely integrated and work together. There is no need to cobble data together, it's all there in one place.
Social Inbox helps marketing find the right prospects, at the right time, maximizing opportunities for personalization of content. This kind of contextualized interaction not only leads to a more authentic social media experience, but also brings your team closer to sales opportunities.
Your sales team benefits from Social Inbox, too. Reps can monitor a list made up of only their leads and make the decision to respond from their personal Twitter accounts within HubSpot, or they can send an email instead.
Think social is only for marketing and sales teams? Think again. With Social Inbox everyone benefits from contextualized information from social media, even support. Provide customer service reps with notification when a customer tweets a reply to your company. They can even target specific keywords to track customer sentiment.

You put time into crafting the perfectly worded 140-character tweet. HubSpot helps you see if others found it to be just as brilliant. Get micro-level data for every click, comment, retweet and favorite. Bask in the glory of a well-loved social share.
When it comes to social, every interaction counts. But HubSpot also enables you to see the big picture of how social media is affecting your marketing. See the influence your total efforts have had on generating visits, leads and customers. Use that data to better allocate your resources.
Most social media tools only enable you to see short-term interactions. HubSpot shows you the full ROI of your efforts, from clicks to customer conversions.
When a lead converts on your site, HubSpot stores the social information associated with their email, so you can track how recently they clicked on your social content.
Easily set up posts for LinkedIn groups, Facebook, or Twitter and get suggestions as to what times work best.
Build up your queue of social shares on the go. HubSpot’s browser bookmarklet enables you to schedule shares without having to open your full account.
Customers aren’t tied to a single channel. Your analytics shouldn’t be either. HubSpot analytics bring together data from every marketing channel you fuel, enabling you to compare the relative impact of social media and email or paid ads and organic SEO.
Social has become increasingly influential on search engine results. HubSpot positions you perfectly for the growing role of social in search, facilitating social shares and enabling you to group your publishing by SEO keyword.
The power of Social Inbox lies in its ability to tie your social interactions to your existing HubSpot Contacts Database, so you can focus on the people and activity that matters most to your business. Never miss a mention from your highest scoring lead again.
