  • You might want to analyze channel-wise breakdowns to pinpoint where the engagement drops, and negative comments are most pronounced. 

  • Consider exploring the most frequently used media types and hashtags to assess if certain content formats or topics are generating negative reactions. 

 

⬇ Follower Count Trend, ⬇ Engaged Audience Rate Trend -> Possibility of Audience Disengagement  

  • A decline in follower count alongside a decrease in the engaged audience rate suggests a potential loss of interest or disengagement among followers. 

  • Compare channel-wise breakdowns to identify which platforms are experiencing the most significant decreases in both metrics. 

  • You might want to explore fan keywords associated with your brand and competitor to understand any shifting preferences or interests within the audience. 

 

Follower Count Trend of Competitor, Post Volume Trend of Competitor -> Possibility of Competitor Surge  

  • Witnessing a rapid increase in competitor follower counts coupled with a surge in their post volume might indicate successful growth strategies or campaigns. 

  • Dive into the most frequently used media types and hashtags by the competitor to identify elements contributing to their increased visibility and engagement. 

  • Analyze your own content themes and objectives to assess if adjustments are needed to compete effectively in the market. 

 

Post Volume Trend, Most Frequently Used # by My Brand and Competitor Brand -> Trending Topics  

  • A significant spike in post volume, along with trending hashtags, suggests alignment with popular topics or events. 

  • You might want to explore the most engaged content themes to understand which topics resonate most with the audience and drive higher engagement rates. 

  • Utilize channel-wise breakdowns to tailor content strategies for each platform based on trending hashtags and audience preferences. 

 

 

Negative Comments Trend, ⬇ Follower Count Trend, Post Volume Trend -> Possibility of Brand Crisis  

  • If you witness a huge spike in Negative Fan Comments coupled with a dip in the Follower count & increase in Post Volume for your brand as compared to competitor brands, it might reflect a possible controversy which sparked virality nature for the brand. 

  • You might want to investigate the Fan Keyword widgets to have a quick glance as to what people are talking about to identify the root cause. 

  • Try to narrow down the scope and see if the virality nature emerged only on a particular channel or it's a brand-wide issue. Furthermore, you might want to explore the most engaged content themes to strategize on how to control the damage.
