"Great for competitive research and finding influencers"
What do you like best about Social Animal?

We do a lot of research for our content marketing service. Social Animal makes it easy for us to find the data we need and use it competitively. We also use it to find influencers. We are happy with the results.

What do you dislike about Social Animal?

There's no way to reach out to influencers via the tool. It would be nice to be able to do everything from the tool. Hopefully, this feature is coming soon.

What problems is Social Animal solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Social Animal as a Buzzsumo replacement. It's very good at competitive research and finding influencers. It has helped us find the best data for our content marketing service.

"Super useful functionality for content research & influencers"
What do you like best about Social Animal?

Social Animal helps me use data in order to make informed, thoughtful decisions about our content strategy. I love that I can research the best content topics for our niche, as well as find the topics that are most discussed online and shared on social channels. Armed with this knowledge, I don't have to make random guesses as to what people will respond best to. There is also a nice influencer search functionality which I plan to utilize a lot this year.

What do you dislike about Social Animal?

Can't think of anything to dislike at the moment. The tool is doing everything I want and more.

Recommendations to others considering Social Animal:

See if it works for you. Unlike others in the space, Social Animal offers a free trial with lots of functionality so that you can see if it will work for you right away.

What problems is Social Animal solving and how is that benefiting you?

In addition to article topic ideas, it also gives me ideas around which freelance writers are generating the most buzz in our space so that I can reach out to them with work. Normally this would take a lot of time for me to determine if someone's writing is generally well-received, and with this tool, I no longer have to do manual research or guesswork. This means that the freelance writers I hire have a better guarantee of ROI for me.

"Invaluable for bloggers"
What do you like best about Social Animal?

I liked the ease of use of the interface. You can search for posts by keyword, or even put the name of the website or person you wish to search. You can even search by date, putting the most recent ones first or the posts with the most engagement first. You also have the option of saving search terms and not having to type them into the interface every time you log on. I also liked the free trial they give you. It allows you to decide whether this is the application for your business.

What do you dislike about Social Animal?

There is a learning curve but that is solved by using it regularly. The free trial is both a blessing and a curse. When I used it I realized just how useful it was, helping me keep on top of trends. However, as a fledgling entrepreneur, I don't have the funds yet to justify the regular outlay. So I do wish it was a little cheaper for single business owners like myself who have virtually no funds but a lot of time. Maybe they should have a lite version.

I will definitely pay for it once I start making money.

Recommendations to others considering Social Animal:

Use the trial and decide for yourself. Make sure you have a strategy in place before you start using this, otherwise you'll become sidetracked with all the options. And do ask questions. I found the support to be very good.

What problems is Social Animal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me come up with ideas for blog posts, and helps me look at which subjects engage people the most. It also helps me find influencers. Using the influencers function you can type a keyword and see Twitter profiles with those keywords, arranging by number of followers and other criteria. I found a number of fellow sci-fi authors who I otherwise would not have found.

Social Animal has shown me what engages online, i.e. what articles people share. By studying these I hope to write articles that hopefully have similar engagement. In short, it took the guesswork out of article writing and gave me ideas.

"Technology that makes it easy for you to find inspiration for the content and sharing the content."
What do you like best about Social Animal?

The one thing that makes me more relaxed using it is that the tool works well and the support team is very efficient and responsive and has always replied to my out-delivering requirements. The team support was still there to support me anytime I found any trouble doing or using some functionality or needed some information.

What do you dislike about Social Animal?

The big downside I've found so far is that it doesn't reveal who created the engaging content for a certain post, except for Twitter. It only indicates the number of shares. If it could do that, it would have been perfect because it would help you achieve success for individuals who posted a comparable post and invite them to share yours.

What problems is Social Animal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, Social Animal is a very powerful network that offers an instant analysis of the material that is growing and reaching viewers in our company's important sectors. It's one of the networks I use regularly. I have relied almost exclusively on it a lot and I am delighted with the performance.

sometimes you get content totally irrelevant to your keyword and it must be fixed. the pricing isn't cheap.

"Platform to analyze posts in your field and get reliable insights and useful information explicitly."
What do you like best about Social Animal?

The greatest experience I have had is that it makes it easier to discover brilliant concepts for material or content to either move on to our reader audience or use as concepts for the creation of original content. To see what perspective or content style fits best to improve interaction, you can quickly evaluate content.

What do you dislike about Social Animal?

One thing that made me feel uncomfortable while learning the software is that the learning curve is too steeper and that may be because it has too many features to offer and does so much. The newcomers may find it a bit difficult for using and working with it.

What problems is Social Animal solving and how is that benefiting you?

My overall interaction with social animals has been great actually. I never felt the need to find another approach for which Social Animal was always contrasted. Nevertheless, I'm glad that there is a program that allows me to have the potential to produce quality content at a lower cost.
