Before analyzing you should identify your competitors and compare your brand to them, there is no golden standard for that in social media so you have to keep pushing it and improving your brand's online identity.

There are certain elements you should be looking at when analyzing any market:

  1. Compare Engagement Rates. (how you stack up against the competition)
  2. Measure Responsiveness Against Market Leaders. (How you compare to the standards set by other brands in your industry can play a key role in retaining current customers and growing your business)
  3. Quantify Your Reach with Market Context. (understanding how your reach stacks up to competitors)
  4. Measure Your “Share of Voice”. (evaluate how big your slice of the conversation is compared to your competitors)
  5. Dig Deeper with Content Analysis. (monitor what works best for your industry in each social channel

Now all these are very generic and you are going to have to set a more specific strategy to measure, maintain and analyze your brand's online statues and market statues.
