Why Agorapulse Won 13 First Place G2 Awards
We have always adopted a continuous improvement approach when developing our social media management product features.
We listen to our G2 reviewers, who tell us what we’re doing well and what we could improve. And this approach is obviously paying off. With an average score of 4.5, from over 858 Agorapulse G2 reviews, we feel that we’ve truly earned those 13 first-place awards, especially in the following four categories:
G2 Award #1: The best social media analytics software
Any social media management platform worth its salt should have built-in analytics that allow you to track, measure, and report on the performance of your social media campaigns.
As a bare minimum, you’d expect your social media management platforms analytics to measure the following metrics:
- Reach
- Impressions
- Engagement rate
Agorapulse’s social media analytics give customers the ability to track, measure, and report on so much more than those three basic metrics.
Our intelligent analytic and reporting features allow you to get into the granular detail and measure things like:
- The organic, paid, and total reach of your content
- The clicks and number of engaged users
- The number of followers you gain and lose
- How often your content gets viewed
- How many interactions your content gets
- Team member’s average response times
- Social Media ROI
That is why we won first place for our social media analytics software.
But don’t just take our word for it.
Agorapulse G2 reviews: what users are saying
“What I like about Agorapulse, compared to other tools, is that it allows you to go in-depth into the data, especially on a post level. Metrics such as engagement rate, storytellers, and CTR are helpful to find out what type of posts are more interesting for the fans. In addition, it has a user-friendly graphic interface.” (Francesco C, Social Media Analyst)
“This app takes fan page management to the next level. The functionality and analytics make this app amazing… I get a lot of interesting stats I normally don’t get with other services. This type of social media integration is helping my company compete on the big business level and the free data we are getting about our performance, as well as customer response, is extremely valuable.” (Lee D, General Manager)
G2 Award #2: The best social media management software
The best social media management software should make the following tasks quicker, easier, and less stressful:
- Creating, scheduling, and publishing content across multiple social media networks
- Getting content approval from both internal and external stakeholders
- Monitoring and replying to messages, comments, and interactions
- Tracking, measuring, and reporting on performance
Not only that, but social media management software should also be affordable, easy to use, and have helpful and efficient 24/7 customer support.
This is exactly why, according to G2 reviewers, we are the best social media management software on the market.

G2 Award #3: The best hashtag monitoring
With Agorapulse’s hashtag monitoring feature, you can set up regular searches that allow you to monitor which hashtags are trending and how they’re performing. You can also listen to what people are saying about you and your competition and respond to comments, tweets, and DMs, instantly, from within the platform.
The Agorapulse G2 reviewers rate Agorapusle’s hashtag monitoring highly because it allows them to keep customer relationships strong, and establish what type of content works, what their audience likes and dislikes, and what they need to do to beat their competition.

Agorapulse G2 reviews: what users are saying
“The time you save with the social listening tools is a godsend, especially if you run events. Having the app means no matter where I am I can be on top of my social listening, and respond to customers quickly.” (Fiona L, Online Event Facilitator)
“The built-in listening tool keeps me on my toes and keeps conversations fresh and on target… Having this integrated listening feature is a huge bonus. I am truly getting everything I need in one service.” (Kelly H, Social Brand Building Strategist)
G2 Award #4: The best for estimating ROI
Monitoring metrics like the engagement rate or reach will show key stakeholders that your social media marketing activity is raising brand awareness.
But these sorts of metrics don’t prove that your activity is converting people into cold, hard sales, do they?
Engagement and reach are great for proving brand awareness, but they’re not effective for proving ROI.
Agorapulse is the only social media management platform that allows you to accurately measure and prove Social Media ROI.
We allow you to connect your Agorapulse account to your Google Analytics account, auto-add UTMs to your content, and track the journey your audience takes, with each piece of content you publish.
Quite clearly, the Agorapulse G2 reviewers love it.
