They\u2019re a privately held company and had over $11 million in investment since their founding. They are based in Chicago in the US.<\/p> Sprout Social is a leading management platform which provides publishing, engagement, analytics and collaboration tools for any sized team.\u00a0 It is one of the very few social media management tools to provide customer relationship management (CRM) features.\u00a0 CRM is very similar to social media management but allows the user to have a complete profile of their customer which in turn helps to build a stronger and more profitable relationship.\u00a0<\/p> Sprout Social\u2019s suite is well designed and very user-friendly, offering all the necessary tools for small business owners or social media managers.\u00a0 The platform also supports all of the major social networks and includes Google Analytics which is integrated into its report line-up. It incorporates a range of social media tools, all in an easy to use platform, which allows a whole bunch of social activities to be handled within one area \u2013 it really is a must-have for small businesses.\u00a0<\/p> So, let’s start at the beginning…..<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t In this section, you\u2019ll learn whether this social media management tool is easy to use.<\/strong><\/p> You don\u2019t want to be spending hours and hours getting to grips with the dashboard.<\/p> So,\u00a0<\/strong>here goes\u2026..<\/p> Usually, when something is described as having a \u2018clean design,\u2019 warning bells start ringing, as this generally means that it lacks something.\u00a0 However, in Sprout Social\u2019s case, this isn\u2019t true \u2013 as the design really is clean.\u00a0 Looking at the top of the screen, you will see the Flow key Productivity bar shows dropdowns for Tasks, Messages, Publishing, Feeds Reports and Discovery.\u00a0 The font size and choice is elegant and modern and white and grey background which is restrained, entwined with colored icons along the top, the customer can click to invite more users, to add a profile or to receive the mobile app.\u00a0 Underneath these elements is the section for information, such as Audience Demographics and Group Trends, Team Members and Your Profiles.\u00a0\u00a0 In the top right-hand corner of the page is the icon, Universal Gear Settings. Sprout’s Social dashboard has been adapted, not only for English users, but also for available in Portuguese and Spanish (not nearly as many as Hootsuite!!), However, by using Google Translate, it can translate in over 50 languages (like Hootsuite Pro).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t By selecting Reports, the analytics area is easily reachable. You will automatically be navigated to the default which is the Reports Home Screen, this then displays all your profile statistics individually.\u00a0 When you reach to the bottom of the scroll-down page, providing that the app has been attached, then you will find all of your Google Analytics data.\u00a0 For those on the premium plan, there are 11 different types of standard reports and 14 for those on the Sprout’s Enterprise plan.<\/p>Effectiveness<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
