🔎Industry monitoring

In this section you will learn how to create a topic and analyze the data in order to get an overview on what is said about your industry and your competitors.

🔡 Topic creation

In order to monitor a whole industry, we suggest you to focus ont two main points.

a. Keywords

You can start with making a list of all related keywords and adding them to the Rules (for more information see page Create a Topic). If you monitor in different languages make sure you've included all the spelling and linguistics variants.

X (formerly Twitter)

Meta/TikTok/Telegram/Youtube

On Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Telegram and YouTube, you have to write one word or expression per line. The sign * allows you to monitor several spelling variations having the same root. On the example below, we monitor the word bank but also banks, banking, onlinebank...

LinkedIn

On LinkedIn, you have to write one word or expression per line. Asterisks do not work for this network, you just have to put the different variants of your keywords. It is not necessary to mention the accents and plurals for LinkedIn : the word bank will also monitor banks.

b. Panel of influent people within your industry

In order to get the most qualified data, Visibrain suggests you to monitor people having a significant impact on your industry (competitors, CEO, journalists, bloggers...).

To do so, you shall use both operators from: and retweets_of: for a X (formerly Twitter) watch, and the section called "pages" for other social media. You can either listen everything they say, either focus on a specific subject adding keywords.

X (formerly Twitter)

🔎 Data analysis

You can customize the clouds (changing items' color and size), see occurences of each item in a table or click on it to get more information.

For a Facebook watch, you have access to a pie chart of reactions. It helps you to evaluate the ton of your subject.

b. Don't miss anything about your industry
