SocialRank now lets you analyze your Twitter followers based on location and keywords

SocialRank, a successful analytics tool born out of a former Dwolla team, has evolved to deliver even better, in-depth insights to businesses and brands. Initially, brands and ordinary users utilized the service to analyze their Twitter followers and identify influential and engaged followers.

The improved service now offers a more considerable range of options for evaluating Twitter followers. Users now have the opportunity to segment their followers based on location, keyword search, or a combination of the two. Such features were introduced in response to high demand by the brands using the service, according to Alex Taub, co-founder of SocialRank.

With over 5,000 brands, including big names like GoPro and Uber under its belt, SocialRank’s functionality varies from identifying influential brand advocates to locating passionate fans who regularly engage on Twitter.

The newest version of the platform, referred to as SocialRank 2.0, offers users increased flexibility by removing search restrictions. For instance, SocialRank can be used to identify enthusiastic regional followers of the Major League Soccer (MLS) for exclusive events.

The company plans to maintain offering the new service free of charge while giving paying customers access to more premium services. Among these is a thorough market intelligence feature for simulated analytics of competitor Twitter accounts. This can be an instrumental tool for competitive analysis or comparisons. SocialRank also intends to extend the reach of this analytics functionality to other social media platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.

The market intelligence feature is currently in its test phase with a select group of SocialRank clients, due to its customization. As Twitter doesn’t provide this data, SocialRank creatively reverse-engineered the process. The roll-out for this feature is projected for all customers in the near future.

With its distinct data functions and a list of major brands under its wing, SocialRank is positioning itself as the preferred platform for managing followers across all social media accounts, particularly brands, as stated by Taub. Unlike rival services like Hootsuite or Buffer, which are dedicated to managing posts across multiple networks, SocialRank targets followers’ tracking across multiple platforms.

Given its unique data functionalities and partnership with many significant brands, SocialRank is well-placed for a successful trajectory.
