Evaluation by Tracking includes which elements?

• A. Attendance, ratings, online/social media interaction, behavior requests for more information.
• B. Media placements and impressions.
• C. Share of voice, tone of coverage.
• D. Online analytics and ad value equivalency.

Answer: (A)

Evaluation by tracking focuses on how the audience actually responds to a PR effort. It measures tangible, observable reactions that show engagement and interest: attendance at events, ratings of the experience, online and social media interactions (such as comments, shares, and mentions), and people requesting more information, which signals intent or further interest. These elements provide direct feedback on the reach and resonance of the message. Other options touch on exposure or content analysis rather than direct audience response: media placements and impressions gauge visibility, not how people react; share of voice and tone of coverage examine how the story is portrayed in the media rather than audience actions; online analytics and ad value equivalency mix digital metrics with value estimations, which don’t necessarily reflect actual audience reactions to the PR effort.
