What Is Keyword Monitoring?
You create monitors that watch for your keywords across platforms like Reddit, Hacker News, LinkedIn, X, Quora, and AI assistants. When a matching post appears, it shows up as a mention with engagement metrics, a sentiment read, and an AI relevance score. You can generate reply suggestions on the spot, get notified by email or in-app, and optionally sync new mentions into a Smart List.Creating a Monitor
- Select your company from the sidebar
- Click Keyword Monitoring (under Engage)
- On the Monitors tab, click New Monitor
- Fill in the details:
- Monitor Name — e.g., “Brand mentions”
- Keywords — add them comma-separated (press Enter or click Add)
- Platforms — pick one or more: Reddit, Hacker News, LinkedIn, X, Quora, ChatGPT, Google AI
- Check Frequency — Hourly, every 3 / 6 / 12 hours, Daily, or Weekly
- (Optional) Refine it:
- Subreddit filter (Reddit only) — limit to specific subreddits, or leave blank for all of Reddit
- AI Filter (on by default) — drops irrelevant mentions; add plain-language instructions like “Skip job postings”
- AI Prompt Template (for ChatGPT / Google AI) — customize the question asked, using
{keyword}as a placeholder
- Choose Notifications — Email and/or In-App — and pick which team members to notify
- (Optional) Sync to Smart List — new mentions are added as rows automatically, including suggested replies
- Review the per-run credit cost shown on the form, then click Create Monitor
Reviewing Mentions
- Open the Mentions tab
- Filter by monitor, status (New, Seen, Dismissed), or platform
- Each mention card shows the post, matched keywords, sentiment, and engagement (upvotes, comments, author, time)
- Click a mention to open it, then:
- Open Original to view the post on its platform
- Dismiss to hide it from your feed
- Generate Replies — add a bit of context about your product, and get reply drafts in several styles (value-first, educational, conversational, problem-solver); copy the one you like or regenerate
Managing Monitors
On the Monitors tab, each monitor’s menu (⋮) lets you:- Run Now — trigger a check immediately, outside the schedule
- Pause / Resume — stop or restart monitoring
- Edit — change keywords, platforms, filters, or notifications
- Delete — remove the monitor permanently
Credits
Most platforms (Reddit, Hacker News, LinkedIn, X, Quora) are included. A couple of AI-assistant platforms cost more per run because they query large models:- ChatGPT — 6 credits per keyword, per run
- Google AI — 2 credits per keyword, per run
Tips
- Start specific. Broad keywords catch a lot of noise; product names and branded phrases surface the mentions that matter.
- Lean on the AI filter. Add an instruction describing what you don’t want to see to cut irrelevant hits.
- Sync to a list when you want to follow up systematically — it turns mentions into a working pipeline.
