Social Listening Overview
An overview of Social Listening in Lucidya, covering monitors, dashboards, sentiment analysis, alerts, benchmarking, reviews, TV and radio monitoring, and reporting.
Social Listening is a core product within Lucidya's Customer Experience Management platform. It collects and analyzes conversations about your brand, competitors, and industry across social media, news, blogs, forums, and public review platforms, then converts them into structured insights through dashboards, alerts, and reporting.
What Social Listening Includes
Listening Monitors
Monitors are the foundation of data collection. Three types are available: Managed Account Monitors for tracking accounts you own, Public Account Monitors for tracking any public account, and Keyword Monitors for tracking conversations by topic across platforms. See How to Create a Monitor in Social Listening for setup instructions.
Dashboards and Real-Time Insights
Dashboards visualize conversation volume, sentiment distribution, engagement trends, and performance metrics. Two types are available: Aggregate Dashboards that combine data from multiple monitors, and Custom Dashboards for tailored views of specific campaigns or topics. See Dashboard Types in Social Listening for details.
Sentiment Analysis
Conversations are automatically classified as positive, negative, or neutral. Lucidya processes sentiment natively per language, including 17+ Arabic dialects, rather than translating to English first.
Alerts
Real-time notifications detect sudden changes in mention volume, negative sentiment spikes, influencer activity, viral content, and verified user posts. See How to Set Up Alerts in Social Listening for configuration details.
Competitive Benchmarking
Measure share of voice and compare brand performance against competitors across monitors, channels, and time periods. See How to Use Benchmark in Lucidya for setup steps.
