Social Listening
Bring audience conversations into your planning.
Review relevant public conversations to inform your content, positioning and communications, with a clear view of what the selected tools can observe.
What we can work on together.
Start with the areas that matter most to your organisation. We shape the following capabilities into a defined project or an ongoing scope, with clear priorities and responsibilities.
Listening scope
Define brands, subjects, markets and sources to monitor, alongside the questions your team wants to answer.
Conversation review
Assess relevant mentions and themes, checking context rather than relying solely on automated sentiment labels.
Competitive context
Review visible discussion around comparable organisations and topics to inform your own decisions.
Reporting and response
Share useful findings and agree how emerging issues are escalated to the people responsible for communications.
Part of your wider digital picture.
Social Listening works best when it connects to the rest of your business. Through Cornerstone Partnerships, we can coordinate this work with the relevant brand, website and marketing priorities in one ongoing programme.
A clear process, from brief to delivery.
Your specialists work from the same brief, with priorities and review points agreed with your team.
Understand the context
We discuss the business, review the available material and clarify what the work needs to achieve.
Agree the scope
We define deliverables, responsibilities and review points so your team knows what is included and what we need from you.
Deliver together
We coordinate the agreed work with your team, share progress and raise decisions or dependencies as they arise.
Review the next steps
We review the delivery and relevant feedback, then agree whether further improvements or ongoing support would be useful.

What can this service include?
Review relevant public conversations to inform your content, positioning and communications, with a clear view of what the selected tools can observe. The scope can cover listening scope, conversation review, competitive context, reporting and response. We agree the priorities with you before starting.
Can you support our team?
Yes. We discuss your current capabilities and partners, then agree where Geeklab can contribute. Responsibilities, access and review points are made clear in the scope.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes. We are based in Cape Town and work with organisations internationally. We agree communication, review points and delivery arrangements around the people involved.
How are cost and timing agreed?
The schedule depends on the scope, inputs, integrations and review process. We agree milestones after understanding the brief and identify dependencies that could affect delivery. We prepare a proposal around the agreed deliverables and responsibilities. Relevant platform, media or third-party costs are identified separately where they apply.
Can this be part of an ongoing partnership?
Yes. Cornerstone Partnerships brings strategy, brand, websites and marketing into an ongoing relationship. We agree the work included and review priorities as your needs develop.
