10 Free Twitter Analytics Tools For 2018

Welcome to 2018.

For my first piece of content in 2018, I wanted to write about my favourite social network.

As you may know, Twitter is the social network that I am most engaged on. I have over 34,500 followers, and have been growing my Twitter audience through the use of a number of different tools.

Some of the tools I am going to share with you below, have helped me analyse what works for me on Twitter. With 6,000 Tweets being shared every single second, you need to be analysing your Twitter content to get the best possible exposure and engagement.

I am going to break down the following Twitter analytics tools into 4 different categories; content marketing, keywords and hashtags, analysing influencers and research.

Here are 10 free Twitter analytics tools that will help you grow your following in 2018.

Content Marketing

If, like me, you share content on Twitter on a regular basis, you are going to need to analyse this content to understand its performance. Here are two Twitter analytics tools that will help you achieve this.

1. Hootsuite

Hootsuite has been my favourite Social Media scheduling tool for a number of years. You can integrate the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn and manage all of the messages you share across each network in a matter of seconds.

Hootsuite helps me save a lot of time, because you can schedule in advance. Now being a father means that my time is even more precious, so a tool like Hootsuite that helps me save time when it comes to Social Media is a big plus in my book.

2. Buffer

Similar to Hootsuite in its ability to automate content, Buffer is a great option when looking at the best times to post your content on Twitter.

Buffer will suggest suitable times for every post, customises links automatically to allow easy tracking and makes team collaboration as easy as possible!
