This study aims to determine the influence of Social CRM activities undertaken by the @gojekindonesia Twitter account on customer loyalty. Therefore, this research surveyed 281 followers of the @gojekindonesia account, selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Statistical analysis of the collected data discovered some interesting findings.

Nonetheless, secondly, the regression analysis found a powerful influence on Gojek's SCRM activities in inducing their loyalty (83,5%), especially on @gojekindonesia's ability to identify context and sentiment in their content creation (analytic dimensions) which encourage active engagement of customers in using various services in Gojek application (customer value dimension).
