The bad news is that not enough of them are doing it yet. The worse news is that the numbers are even lower for B2B companies.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent survey of 1,000 B2B and B2C companies, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/Article.aspx?R=1009104\">eMarketer<\/a> reports that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.satmetrix.com\">Satmetrix<\/a> learned 17% of B2C companies don&#8217;t track what consumers say about their brands on the social web, nor do they follow up on that feedback. Of B2B companies, 47% do not track or follow up on social media comments about their brands.<\/p>\n<p>Following are some specific statistics from the study:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Track and follow up:<\/strong> B2C = 53%; B2B = 27%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Track only:<\/strong> B2C = 25%; B2B = 22%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow up only:<\/strong> B2C = 4%; B2B = 5%<\/li>\n<li><strong>None:<\/strong> B2C = 17%; B2B = 47%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of companies that do track and follow up on social media content and conversations about their brands, nearly 1 out of 2 have dedicated teams in place to monitor and follow up on that feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, companies in the United States are tracking and following up on social media content more frequently than companies in other parts of the world. Just 31% of U.S.-based companies do not track or follow up on social media feedback from consumers. According to the study, U.K.-based companies are least likely to track or follow up on social media feedback with 38% indicating that they do neither.<\/p>\n<p>Specific results by geographic region follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>North America<\/strong> = 31% of companies do not track or follow up on social media<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asia<\/strong> = 36% of companies do not track or follow up on social media<\/li>\n<li><strong>Latin America<\/strong> = 36% of companies do not track or follow up on social media<\/li>\n<li><strong>Europe, Middle East, Africa<\/strong> = 37% do not track or follow up on social media<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given that study after study reports consumers are actively discussing brands online (both positively and negatively) and those conversations influence consumer purchasing decisions, it&#8217;s surprising that so many companies aren&#8217;t tracking and following up on social media content and conversations. Processes should already be in place, but as the Satmetrix study reveals, those processes aren&#8217;t in place yet &#8212; particularly not in B2B companies.<\/p>\n<p>Are you surprised by these statistics?
