Social media dashboards are websites or applications that connect multiple social media accounts in one central place to provide analytics, reports, and trends. They work by allowing users to sign up, connect their social media accounts, and organize a customizable layout to run analytics and create reports. Some popular dashboard options mentioned are TweetDeck, Bottlenose, MarketMuse, and Hootsuite, which are free or have paid plans and support various social networks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and more. Dashboards can help businesses by increasing brand awareness, strengthening customer relationships, funneling traffic, and providing organization, time management and analytics.
