Access the most complete and relevant data sets
Data is the lifeblood of social listening. That’s why we’re constantly investing in new and improved data sources, to ensure Talkwalker offers the most comprehensive data coverage on the market.
Here’s some of what we’ve added in this release.
X API V2
As an X Official Partner, Talkwalker provides you with the complete X Firehose. X is still the town square of the internet, where consumers come together to discuss the latest goings-on as they happen. The typical X user increased their activity by an average of 40 minutes per month at the end of 2023.
The new X API adds expanded insights, to learn more from this intriguing audience. These include -
- Twitter verification checkmarks - quickly distinguish between Premium Subscribers, Official Accounts & Government. Or segment your data using new Booleans
- New metrics - Add advanced metrics including impressions, video views, and bookmarks
- Cashtags - Track the performance of stocks and cryptocurrencies on X, using Cashtags as a text filter or in your query
- Long-form tweets - Analyze the entire content of long-form tweets (those longer than 280 characters). These can now be included in Blue Silk™ AI Summaries, Smart theme detection, and more!
Our X API V2 adds data enhancements to provide you with expanded capabilities and richer insights
Expanded Instagram insights
With 2 billion monthly active users, Instagram is the third most popular social network in the world. Making it a valuable source of consumer insights.
Instagram Reels coverage amplified
Reels are now a major part of the platform - prominently shown in people’s feeds, these mini-videos are a great way for brands and users to engage.
You can now monitor brand-related content within Reels (and find key influencers) through our amplified coverage. We’ll find when your brand channel is mentioned or tagged in a Reel, to provide a better understanding of audience engagement and interaction.
These mentions include Like, Comment Count, and Follower Count metrics, as well as comment content, to help you identify the most relevant content for your brand.
Instagram Comments enhanced with Likes & Replies
Instagram Comments are the way for consumers to connect with your brand. And for you to engage them in a conversation. But on busy channels, it’s hard to identify the comments most worth responding to.
In this update, we’ve added additional insights to Instagram comments to include -
- Likes on Comments - Identify the comments other consumers connect with, to find where your response will have the most impact
- Replies to Comments - Get a more comprehensive understanding of the context of comments, and follow the chains of conversation consumers are engaging in
Get a more comprehensive understanding of audience interactions with expanded Instagram Insights
Extended Reddit Partnership
Reddit has a community for everyone. Whatever your interest, hobby, or passion, there’s a community for you.
Because of this, Reddit provides valuable insights for any brand wanting to dig into the niches and audiences within their industry.
That’s why we’ve expanded our Reddit Partnership, to provide additional metrics from this channel. These include -
- Additional Post metrics - Upvotes, Downvotes, Total votes, and Subscribers count help find the most engaging consumers
- Addition of Karma for authors - Quickly find the most influential authors in your sector
- Improved search - Find polls, posts, and more relevant data for your brand

New Semrush metrics
To help you measure the impact of news, blogs, and forums, Talkwalker uses Semrush data to measure potential reach. The Semrush monthly unique visitors metric gives you a better understanding of how big an audience the content can reach.
This way, you can track if a mention is at risk of creating a crisis, or is influencing consumers.
In this release, we’ve added additional Semrush metrics -
- Desktop vs. mobile visitors
- SEMRush Traffic Rank #
- Time on Site and Bounce rates
These can be used to get a further understanding of how consumers engage with your brand-related stories, and how they impact your customer journey.
Glassdoor + Indeed employee reviews
Employees are your biggest brand advocates. If they’re not happy, you may be in trouble.
Our new Employee Reviews package allows you to monitor employee feedback from Indeed and Glassdoor. To help you track the sentiment around work issues, and tackle the issues that matter most to your team.
You can also include reviews from competitors or industry leaders, to help benchmark the satisfaction of employees.
Doubled podcast data
Talkwalker’s Podcast Monitoring was already a game changer, finding brand mentions hidden within the most popular podcasts. By using Blue Silk™ AI, we instantly transcribe podcasts into text, for complete analysis and valuable insights.
In this release, we’ve doubled our podcast coverage. Meaning we now index over 140,000 podcasts in languages including English, German, and Spanish. With more languages to come.
If consumers are literally talking about you, you can listen.
Automatically easily classify content
The joy of social listening is that every conversation comes from many perspectives. Every story is told from different angles, and a single topic can be categorized in numerous ways.
To help you segment data more effectively, and create granular views around topics, we’ve added over 300 new automatic classifications. These filters can be used to view a topic through a specific lens.
Segmenting data this way helps with -
Audience insights
Get granular with your audience data, and focus on the topics that matter most to your brand. Filter out the irrelevant noise, or automatically segment into core categories for deeper analysis.
Influencer marketing
Find the influencers that are most relevant to your audience. Boost your influencer strategy by identifying influencers within subcategories, to ensure all of your brand-related angles are covered.
Content ideation
Find the category topics that resonate most with your audience (and your competitors’ audience). Then create related content you know will work hard for your strategy.
Trend monitoring
Dive into the data to find the trends that are driving buzz. Filter your analysis to focus on mentions tagged within a category, to see exactly what’s getting people excited within your industry or niche.
Quickly categorize data into 300+ categories for additional insights
In the example above, we looked at conversations around what people were watching, then segmented the data by genre categories. We can see that Comedy is a popular choice in Brazil, while Science Fiction is a strong genre for France.
These segmented trends help adapt your content to match consumer preferences at a regional level.
And bonus tip! You can also use the categories within your Boolean queries, to target more relevant data for speed of use.
Location Insights
Want more from your Google My Business reviews? Our new Location Insights IQ App helps you analyze them in detail, to find your wins on a local, regional, or global level.
We’ve covered Location Insights in more detail in our blog.
Unlike other tools, Location Insights can also analyze your competitors’ reviews. Now you can uncover just what your competition is doing right (and wrong).

New Reports & Alerts customization
