You’ve now explored how to identify influential voices, build Author and Source Lists, refine social data with X filters, and monitor key conversations in real time.
Now it’s your turn to put those skills into practice.
Choose a brand, competitor, or industry topic search you actively monitor, and build a simple influence map using what you learned in this module.
Try things like:
- Identifying influential voices with Boolean + the Authors tab 🕵️
- Building a reusable Author, Source, or Media Contact list to surface key voices 🗃️
- Refining News and X results to cut through the noise 🛠️
- Tracking key voices in real time through Monitor 📰
Share your takeaway:
- Which voices or outlets stood out once you refined your results?
- What did Monitor reveal that you wouldn’t have spotted in Explore alone?
- Did News or X filtering change the quality or tone of the conversation you saw?
Describe your workflow, share a snippet of your findings, or pass along a tip you’d give another analyst building their influence map.
Looking forward to seeing the voices shaping your world – and how you’re using these tools to stay ahead of the conversation.
