Is hootsuite damaging my online reputation?

[LandlordReferencing]

I've also got several accounts for the company I work for. Would it be considered detrimental to be tweeting the same things to each account or should I instead be tweeting different things to each account and then logging into the different company accounts and increasing the interaction between them by retweeting etc. At the moment I've just been doing things how the previous employee did and I'm trying to make changes that will be constructive without undoing all the work they've done.

Sorry, I have lots of questions!

From someone who follows landlord referencing, Paul R and the LRS database one, I can say that it is very repetitive. It is made especially so because you sync all three profiles to tweet the same thing at the same time so we get the same message three times.

Hope this helps

I think Amelia's comment could hit the nail on the head... and I have to agree after taking a look at your twitter account. It is a tad repetitive. It might be worth hand picking the best and most valuable articles to tweet about rather than everything.

Have you considered performing a survey to see what people would like to hear about?

[LandlordReferencing]

I cannot tell you how helpful this feedback is. As I've just come on board I don't want to push too many changes without having some sort of proof and seeing as you've actually said what I've been thinking I can implement a change in tactics!

At the moment I'm trying to get more content on the site and only tweet about it once. Maybe I'll do it on one account and then comment on the other accounts so that if someone only follows one of the accounts they'll still get to see it but someone in your position won't get bombarded with the same info.

I might be cheeky and find you again for feedback a bit further down the line if you don't mind? Hopefully I'll be able to make some positive changes. It's actually really exciting.

No not yet, but that's a great idea. We've really struggled with comments on our forums recently and I think it is because the information is repetitive and so people don't want to get involved. A survey would be a great way to encourage interaction.

By all means get in touch with me - I was going to offer some help but thought you may think I was taking the mick!

I believe you have Ben's email and direct phone number? (you should be able to get it from Paul R if not) Ben will give you my direct number if you ask for it.

Best wishes,

Amelia

This is an excellent suggestion! I may follow it for my own site!

Help is very much appreciated. Like I said, I'm the new kid on the block and really want to make a positive impact on the company.

Brilliant, I will get hold of Ben and get your contact details that way.

Thanks again.

Hi,

When I get issues like this I take a look at the information from a followers perspective and from a search engine perspective.

If you really think that every tweet is useful and relevant to the readers then consider how to better format the information so you don't need so many tweets. If you're repeat tweeting the same information then it looks bad for readers and SEs will see it as spam.

I know it seems like an easy way to get lots of social points by having all those tweets picked up, but as with links - it's quality that counts more than quantity.

[LandlordReferencing]

I think the spam thing is a real problem. Because the companies been doing it this way for a few months I think I'm may have quite a task ahead of me. I'm hoping that by focussing less on social media and more on SEO I'll be able to draw in a more balanced audience.
