No matter how much we love Google Analytics, there are a number of features that Google doesn’t have. So, ever the trailblazers, we offer an additional solution called Branded3 Stats for all social media clients.

The key advantage over Google is live reporting. It means you’ll no longer have to wait 12-24 hours for the numbers to be crunched. Live reporting is really important for social media campaigns when you have to know as soon as traffic starts flowing from a certain source. Branded3 Stats has a live Spy view so you can see visitors arriving and moving around the site in real time.

Another great feature is the link analysis which allows you to see all the users who clicked on a particular link and where they originally came from – perfect for tracking the source of your RSS feed sign-ups.

Recently, we’ve also integrated Twitter monitoring into the system. This turns it into a great social media analytics platform too!
