Iconosquare Review from a Nonprofit Marketer

Pros

  • Provides in-depth analytics on engagement.
  • Provides in-depth analytics on consistencies among your follower base.
  • Provides insight into ways to grow your followership and refine your content.

Cons

  • I think they could offer some deeper analytics if they allowed users to tag the type of content you were posting to see any trends by that tag.
  • Iconosquare's service should be cheaper. I know lots of organizations who could benefit from using the tool, but it's just not within budget for them.
  • The filtering options for date ranges and other queries isn't user-friendly.

Return on Investment

  • It's allowed us to see which content resonates with our audience so we can post more similar images.
  • It's allowed us to find other followers and hashtags that would be good to be associated with to grow our brand.
  • It has helped us develop partnerships with other followers who it recommends we should know well based on their number of followers.
