Consumer sentiment

Track how audiences feel about your brand, products, and campaigns. By collecting likes, shares, comment counts, hashtags, and mentions across posts and reels, you can surface sentiment shifts before they escalate. Monitor competitor profiles side-by-side to benchmark engagement rates and measure campaign response velocity.

Trend and market intelligence

Stay ahead of fast-moving markets by tracking trending hashtags, viral content formats, and emerging product categories before they go mainstream. Discover which products competitors are promoting, how they are positioning them, and what organic traction they are getting.

Influencer discovery and vetting

Go beyond follower counts. Identify genuine influencers by analyzing the full engagement picture -- likes-to-follower ratios, comment quality, posting frequency, reel view counts, and brand affiliation signals. Collect structured profile data including biography, follower count, verification status, and post history to build influencer profiles at scale.
