"A Strategic Sales Tool: How We Leverage Path Social for Targeted Prospecting & Brand Authority."
What do you like best about Path Social?

We employ Path Social as a sales intelligence amplifier and prospecting amplifier for commercial use and rationale. Brand Directors and CMOs at sports franchises are inundated with cold outreach in B2B sports marketing. Our aim is to ensure that our agency pops into mind and has a reputation before the sales call.

We established one for Directors of athletic apparel brands, one for heads of marketing at European football clubs and one for sponsorship managers at global drinks companies. Path Socials artificial intelligence then coordinates our company content to be populated in the feeds of the specific professionals so they'll follow our page.

The quality of the work is its greatest strength. The gained followers are mostly verified professionals from our target accounts. This isn't vanity metrics; it's a relevance audience. Easy to use, I can manage this channel myself as a sales leader, rather than burdening marketing resources heavily. This creates a repeatable, high-frequency touchpoint that warms cold markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

Professional Gaps: While great for awareness, it lacks utility for integrating with direct sales workflow.

Our Salesforce CRM has no native integration for Integration Shortfall. I cant create a lead or flag an account automatically when a key person from the target company follows us. This means that one must do this manually, reducing efficiency

The dashboard displays numbers for top-line growth but doesn't offer any metrics that gauge this performance against sales. Since I can't point to a follower group that caused a new opportunity or closed deal, that makes the ROI calculation difficult.

I appreciate their execution abilities, but I wish their ability and team expertise included more strategic consultations on audience segmentation or content alignment for conversion, not just on growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Scaleable Growth Engine for Our B2B Tech Brand"
What do you like best about Path Social?

As a co-founder, I’m looking at tools from the perspective of strategic impact and operational efficiency. Path Social delivers on both. It was so easy to use that our marketing department could create focus campaigns for each tech niche (like DevOps, Data Science etc) without me getting involved. The service delivers gradual, steady and high-frequency growth adding genuine IT professionals and hiring managers to our follower base. This type of work in audience targeting is foundational it creates a community and not just a number. It works as a trusty, automated top-of-the-funnel source that aligns with our brand promise of helping talent connect with opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

This is a limited for us as a company of our size. We want that follower data to be fed right into our CRM (or marketing automation) so that we can follow the progression of leads. The dashboard and visualization are clear, but you should consider it as a reporting tool rather than an advanced performance metrics analysis. We supplement it with other tools to have a full-funnel view. My only wish is for them to be providing a quarterly business review (QBR)style document that provides insights and action based on the data, not just performance reports.

"Stealth is the New Black: Unknown Tool for No Effort Executive & Brand Expansion on LinkedIn"
What do you like best about Path Social?

My No. 1 objective was to boost our CEO’s voice and our company’s visibility on LinkedIn, without spending extra hours in the day that none of us had. It was a dream to be able use and to implement. I did all the setup myself, in one afternoon, setting the parameters for who we wanted to target (i.e., CFOs, treasury professionals, fintech leaders). Their service is immaculate in the sense that it hits back of the net behind the stage. From an EA point of view, the people and followers I gain are actually interested and genuine, and therefore not only legitimate connections but provide a value to our premium brand. The one summary email a week is all the management it needs from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

The platform is very much a “black box.” I trust these results, although there is not much on the dashboard. I don’t see a log of individual accounts they’re interacting with, which would be helpful for the CEO to personalize follow-ups. The customer support is friendly but occasionally provides canned responses to questions about targeting nuances. For a platform designed around personal branding, I do wish there were more recommendations or best practices on how to use the audience you just grew (such as content tips).

"A solid engine to scale brand presence in a competitive space"
What do you like best about Path Social?

The energy drink market is super-competitive, and both user-friendliness and predictability matter. How quickly was Path Social up and running? Path Social was quick to deploy, targeting fitness enthusiasts and gamers who share our brand values. It’s push, not pull: we don’t get in the way of IT or marketing comms, and the frequency of use is always-on (non-stop!) as we’re trying to grow our audience without a bit of daily manual command – that’s one big win for an always-busy team. Key feature, it's AI targeting that allows us to pull in genuine high energy followers who engage regularly and participate a lot on our community (very important for our brand virality / community feel) It's a set-it-and-forget-it growth layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

The trick is that for a data-driven marketing department, its analytics features are quite surface-level. I need follower spike correlations to specific campaign launches or product drops. The dashboard isn't sophisticated enough to present advanced stats good for competitive analysis. integrates with our performance marketing stack (like GA 4 or social ad platforms) and leaves blind spots in attribution. At our level, the availability of a custom reporting API would be game changing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Strategic Weaponry that Accelerates Thought Leadership & Brand Mission"
What do you like best about Path Social?

The tactical simplicity of the tactic meant our small team could move onto pursuing a credible new source of growth without distraction. The term frequency of use is passive in sense; it does not stop reminding us, dormenting ours to focuse on the little controversy and ensure our fan base matches up with our objective fans who agrees, sustainable fashion advocacy. This A1 AI targeting feature is great for reaching the sustainability, fashion professionals policy makers and media, which of course is what you need as an advocacy org. It’s the go-to digital ambassador for our brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

These features do not provide the strategic intelligence needed for board level reporting from an executive standpoint. The dashboard & data visualization don’t correlate follower growth to higher-level organizational KPIs (eg. influence on policy discourse, partnership leads generated). Integration with stakeholder management (CRM) services is a definite lacking point. The service seems to be relatively tactical for a CEO – I’d love to see their team’s strategic knowledge applied so as to offer consultative insights on an audience development strategy, not just execution.

"A Strong, Hands-Off Engine for Great Instagram Growth."
What do you like best about Path Social?

In the fast-paced world of fashion retail, implementation and use need to be easy. Path Social needed little setup after we defined the audience we were looking for (fashion-forward professionals, 25-45). The service works autonomously 24 hours, seven days a week, to find followers. The AI targeting, as the core feature, is effective at bringing the right users in who are actually passionate about luxury fashion, thus protecting our brand. It acts as a dependable engine for growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

The characteristics are not sufficient for industrial analysis. The dashboard and data visualization is too simple I have to export data add them together for tying follower growth to eCommerce campaigns or regional performance. There are no sophisticated integrations to our main platforms (>Shopify Plus and Salesforce Commerce Cloud), so there is a data silo. This is a significant hole for the global business in that they can't segment and report on growth by geographic regions (US vs. EMEA). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Headline Steady and Genuine Audience Growth on Instagram that works"
What do you like best about Path Social?

Ease of operation is perhaps its greatest asset. Path Social (the tool controlling all this magic) & I worked directly together - it took a less than a full day to on-board the target, home&garden techies. The service runs very often and there is a daily operation hidden in the background of it. Its most important, AI-based organic targeting will definitely bring you real followers who are interested in robotic cleaners. This has saved our small marketing team so much manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

The analytics are pretty simple. As a comm manager, I want richer follower and content data to inform our wider strategy. We also have no native integrations with our marketing stack (e.g., our email platform), which means we end up having to do manual audience syncing. The dashboard uses basic yet effective data visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The #1 Tool for Real Instagram Growth"
What do you like best about Path Social?

I’m responsible at Olipop for finding partners who create genuine value — not just flashy promises. I brought Path Social on for my marketing team to grow a genuinely loyal community, and not simply a list of followers. My favorite part is that everything just works smoothly. And once I signed off on the deal, my marketing team had it in place and targeting “healthy soda” and “gut health” enthusiasts within 15 minutes. This month to help me track growth I ask for a straight up report from them that just includes how many followers and the cost-per-follower – it’s a predictable little line item on budget these days. They’re real people who comment on your posts and tag their friends. That’s a quantifiable return for a procurement pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

My biggest gripe is we don’t have an account manager as a company of our size. As the budget holder, I want a QBR to review performance and strategy but comms are largely pushed through email support. But there’s no way to directly “speed up” growth for a big product launch without upgrading the plan (which itself requires a new procurement cycle), and all three report that upsells tend to annoy their users.

"An Implementable Plan to Create Real Market Presence"
What do you like best about Path Social?

For me, sourcing leads and also allowing brand dominance in particular regions is vital. The secret sauce of Path Social is the AI targeting. I can set parameters that reflect our ideal customer profile — industry, tech interests, even competitors they follow. It was a relief how simple it was for me to depoy and I set it up at our corporate account within 15 minutes without involvement of IT. Dashboard is clear and scales grow at a glance, so it’s very effective in use, I need only several check-ins per week to see how many things grow. It hums along in the background and provides a steady vehicle for early stage pipeline or top-of-funnel mindshare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

My two main criticisms are integration and functionality. I’m a manager, so I want to tie growth metrics back to our CRM pipe line, but there’s no native Salesforce or HubSpot integration. This introduces a reporting process, which needs to be done manually. And don't get me started on the sub-par analytics… It has enough features to scale while still not offering the depth I need. I can see follower gain but not what companies or job titles these now accounts may represent, and that's really important for my territory planning. The customer support is strong for technical issues, but not designed for strategic business consultations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organic Instagram Growth That Actually Works"
What do you like best about Path Social?

I help several brands grow on Instagram as a freelancer, so I'm always testing tools to see what really works. Path Social is the first platform that consistently delivered authentic growth without gimmicks. Their AI targeting connects my clients' accounts with real people in the right niches. Setup takes just minutes, the dashboard is intuitive , and I can tweak targeting without any steep learning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Path Social?

It's only instagram for now, so I can't roll the same approach out to other platforms yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
