"Our role is to identify the next in travel and accelerate that. We wanted to understand how consumer sentiment towards travel has changed in the last 5 years. Quid helped us quantify and gave us a time series of how the sentiment has changed over time. We communicated the results of the study to Lufthansa Group in order to improve the customer experience based on the concrete data and numbers we were able to get from Quid.”

Social Listening: FAQ

The questions teams ask most often when they are choosing a social listening platform, answered plainly.

What is social listening?

Social listening is the practice of collecting and analyzing public conversation across social platforms, forums, reviews and news to understand what audiences think about a brand, a category or a topic. It goes further than counting mentions: the analysis groups conversation into themes and explains what is driving them. Quid runs social listening across licensed data from TikTok, Reddit, X, Instagram, YouTube and more.

What is the difference between social monitoring and social listening?

Social monitoring tracks individual mentions and responds to them one at a time, which suits customer care and inbox management. Social listening analyzes the whole body of conversation to find patterns, themes and shifts in what audiences care about, which suits strategy, research and brand planning. Most teams need both, and they are usually different tools.

What is the best social listening platform?

The best social listening platform depends on how much of the conversation it can legally reach and how much analysis it does for you. Look for licensed platform access rather than scraped samples, coverage of the platforms your audience actually uses, and analysis that names themes rather than only counting sentiment. Quid covers TikTok, Reddit, X, Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Pinterest, VK, Facebook and RedNote, and adds news, patents, earnings calls and company data alongside social.

What should an enterprise social listening platform include?

An enterprise social listening platform should include licensed and compliant data access, unlimited historical backfill, custom classifiers trained on your own taxonomy, role-based access for multiple teams, and an API or integration path into the tools your business already runs on. Quid provides all of these, including MCP access and connections to Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Copilot.

How do I build a social listening strategy?

Start with the decision the listening is meant to inform, then work backwards to the query. Define the category and competitor set you want to track, decide which platforms your audience actually uses, set a baseline period before you start reporting on change, and agree who acts on what the analysis says. A standing program beats one-off pulls, because most of the value is in movement over time.

Which data sources does social listening need to cover?

Social listening needs to cover the platforms where your audience actually talks, which now means short-form video and community forums as much as the traditional feeds. Quid covers TikTok, Reddit, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Bluesky, Pinterest, VK and RedNote, and runs the same analysis across news, blogs, reviews, patents and earnings calls.
