Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly how your social media ranks against competitors. Many tools just use ‘vanity’ metrics like follower numbers or engagement: but we believe there is more to it than that.
To us, your social media presence is like DNA, made up of multiple different elements that all play a role.
That’s why we launched Hydrogenetics – a new benchmarking product from Hydrogen. Hydrogenetics is a trademarked approach that measures where a brand sits against competitors on over 40 different factors, taking into consideration more than just the vanity metrics.
This isn’t an automated social media tool: our insights team review your posts and activity to bring that every level that AI can’t.

How does Hydrogenetics benchmark?
Our formula analyses a number of factors to give you – and your competitors – a score out of 100. This is broken down as a ranking of 25 from four different pillars: platform, output, engagement and conversation.
Platform: This pillar looks at how your brand presents itself across social media, including which channels a brand has, how they are branded, and the audience.
Output: This pillar takes a deep dive into the content produced and provides an audit into post frequency and content themes. This is something a lot of automated tools miss, but we feel it’s incredibly important.
Engagement: This pillar assesses the level of engagement received, as well as what is driving the engagement.
Conversations: This pillar looks at external communication around your brand, with a focus on social listening to see who is talking about you and what they are saying.
A Hydrogenetics report shows you exactly where you rank against competitors on each of these four pillars, as well as your overall score – meaning you can see exactly where you have room for improvement and what you can do to take your social media to the next level.
