Abstract

This disclosure pertains to a Multi-Location focused cloud based computer system and methods, which can be White Labeled, for creating, conducting, managing, monetizing and gauging the effectiveness of Social Media Marketing Campaigns across all content deployed to one or more social networks. The key components consists of Social messages, a time zone aware automated scheduling and posting module, an internal responsive Landing page builder and ‘plug-ins’ for use with external builders and Unified Metric System all managed from a Dashboard having Multi-Location Campaign management features. Together the components are referred to as Buzzes. A Campaign can have one or more Buzzes. The Unified Metrics System continuously tracks Follower Actions across all content then places them against a value matrix calculating a single effectiveness score called the BuzzScore. These components, in other systems, are typically disparate and require cobbling together multiple reports from various networks and web pages to determine effectiveness.
