Social Scoring Refresh

Amber avatar
Shared by Amber • February 01, 2024

After analyzing years of social posts from thousands of companies, it was time to give our social scoring an overhaul.

Beginning tomorrow, social scoring now displays at a scale of 1-100, making it much more usable and easier to analyze. Our algorithm also accounts for outliers (like paid promoted posts).

Just like the design of our News-Value Index, both a numerical score and a color gauge help you quickly identify the engagement of a social post.

In the dashboard, you can also toggle scores to be based on a single company's posts or against all companies on your dashboard. This now allows you to view the engagement of a smaller company's social media posts without the impact of the engagement and following of a much larger company.

The social post scores shown in digest emails are compared to that company's posts and not all companies.

Have questions? Don't hesitate to reach out!

Newslever Launches View Modes for Every Type of User

Amber avatar
Shared by Amber • January 09, 2024

We’re excited to announce our latest feature: view modes. We know that members on your team use Newslever for different reasons and we found a way to support them.

Now in your Newslever dashboard you can toggle between Focused, Balanced and Expanded views and see changes in real-time. These views control the quantity and the quality of the content you see. You can also choose which view you prefer to receive for your Newslever digest.

Focused View

Contains only the most important news updates, without any marketing noise from social media, ads, emails, and blogs.

Focused view is for executives who want their morning email to only have meaningful insights and important updates. This view will exclude marketing updates from social media, ads, emails and blogs. Users of Focused view know that when a Newslever email hits their inbox in the morning there’s valuable news articles inside. With Focused view, you may not get an email every single day.

Types of users Focused view might be best for: sales teams, leadership teams, and other employees who don’t live in the marketing/communications world.

Expanded View

Contains all the news stories, industry news from custom phrases, and all the marketing content like social media posts, ads, emails and website content.

Expanded view is for the power user who doesn’t want to miss a single thing, even if they have to weed through a lot of content. You may have to spend some time finding what’s most important, but your competitors won’t post anything without you knowing.

Types of users Expanded view might be best for: competitor analysts and anyone who considers themselves a Newslever power-user. This mode is best experienced in the dashboard and not as a digest.

Balanced View

Contains relevant news stories along, your industry news, and the marketing content like social media, emails, etc.

If you’ve been using Newslever for a while, this is the view you’re used to seeing every day in your digest and dashboard. Balanced view is a comfortable middle ground between Focused and Expanded.

Types of users Balanced view might be best for: marketing teams, social media coordinators, and anyone who’s job is focused on competitors.

Updating Your View Mode

Users can update their digest view preferences by clicking the profile icon in the top right corner of the Newslever dashboards. Administrators can also update user preferences in the User Management Portal.

All users have the ability to toggle between the view modes in real-time while exploring their dashboard.

Schedule an Update Meeting

If you’d like to make any changes to your dashboard or if you have questions regarding view modes you can schedule a 15 minute update meeting with Amber, our Chief Client Officer.

Want to know how valuable a news story is? Now you can.

Shared by Amber • November 20, 2023

🎉 Newslever's News Value Index (NVI) went live this morning! We’ve heard from many clients that our social media scoring provides a lot of value, so we brought a similar concept to news stories.

What is the News Value Index? How does it work?

The NVI judges a news story’s potential value. While “value” is highly subjective, we’ve used machine learning and natural language processing to compare over 50 million news results, hundreds of thousands of domains and dozens of proprietary data points to produce a meaningful score. Reach, authority, frequency, and sentiment are all taken into consideration to generate the NVI.

News results are scored on a range of 0-100. The higher the score, the higher the likelihood that the article contains meaningful information.

You can see scores for all news stories now in your dashboards and starting tomorrow morning in your digest emails. Both a numerical score and a color gauge will help you quickly identify the most valuable news stories at a glance. Press releases are identified with “PR” inside the green color gauge.

Schedule an Update Meeting

If you’d like to make any changes to your dashboard or if you have questions regarding NVI scores you can schedule a 15 minute update meeting with Amber, our Chief Client Officer.
