Want to understand how Public Account Monitors work and how to get the most out of them? Here are answers to the most common questions.
What is the difference between Public Account Monitors and Keyword Monitors?
Public Account Monitors focus on specific accounts and collect their publicly available activity, while Keyword Monitors capture conversations based on defined search terms without being tied to a single account. This makes Public Account Monitors better suited for teams that need a consistent, account-level view.
Do Public Account Monitors require account authentication or connection?
No, these monitors do not require any authentication. They collect publicly available data from tracked accounts directly, without the need for special access permissions.
Which platforms do Public Account Monitors support?
Public Account Monitors support X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and Public Reviews.
What type of data do Public Account Monitors collect?
These monitors collect published posts, audience comments, engagement signals such as likes and shares, and public discussions related to the tracked accounts. All data is presented in a unified view that makes it easy to follow activity across multiple platforms.
What are the main use cases for Public Account Monitors?
These monitors are primarily used in three scenarios: audience and content analysis to understand how different content formats perform, competitive benchmarking to compare account performance over time, and performance tracking to consistently monitor engagement trends and audience behavior.
