The X Insights Tab gives you a better understanding of your X results.

Let's break down each widget within X Insights below:

NOTE: This tab is filtered by the source X. All data on this tab is for X only.


Mentions

The total volume of posts, the percentage change compared to the previous period, and the activity trend during the current period.

Authors

The number of unique X handles, the percentage change compared to the previous period, and the user trend during the current period.

Views

The number of views on all X mentions. Anyone logged into X who views a Post counts as a view, regardless of where they see it (e.g., Home, Search, Profiles, etc.) or whether or not they follow the author.

Estimated Reach

Reach is an estimate of the de-duplicated follower count for all unique X handles. It is an estimate of the potential total audience of the posts.

Estimated Impressions

An estimate calculation based on the number of followers per author. If an author has posted multiple times, they will be counted for each post. The percentage change compared to the previous period and the trend during the current period.

Each of the above metrics contains:

  1. Metric name

  2. Metric total volume

  3. Percentage change versus the previous period (based on the date selected. Green = positive, red = negative, grey = no change)

  4. Previous period total volume

Authors By Authority Level

This widget shows the authority score of users who posted with your keywords within the selected time range. We categorize authority scores into three levels: high, medium, and low.

The authority score is assigned using a proprietary algorithm based on the number of followers.

Most Reposted Content

Most Posted Content displays the most reposted posts that contain your keywords and that have been reposted within your given time frame. This means that you may see posts that fall outside your selected time frame, as they have continued to be reposted within the time frame selected. This analytic will return up to 60 posts.

Clicking on the handle or author name will open up the author's X page. Clicking on the date and time will open up the exact post.

Gender Breakdown

This widget is based on posts from authors for which we were able to infer gender using their names. Posts may not have a gender associated because personal info was unavailable or because it is an organization's X account without an associated gender. We currently do not have a way of identifying non-binary gender, so authors are identified as Male or Female.
