The Accuracy of Digital Scouting

[nimilar]

Data accuracy is the only thing that matters when you're trying to analyze social trends or competitor growth. How are we supposed to tell the difference between a high-quality tracking service and a generic app that just creates a list of random names to satisfy your curiosity?

I've tried a few different platforms lately but the results were always quite inconsistent and frustrating to deal with as a researcher. There is a lot of debate on https://linguaholic.com/topic/27041-how-accurate-are-instagram-follow-tracking-tools/ about whether these tools can actually keep up with the constant security updates. It is always better to do your own research first so you don't end up relying on metrics that are completely outdated. Knowing the truth behind the numbers is the first step toward better planning and execution.
