Visual Search Suggestions is a new section appearing on your Discovery homepage, including a list of search prompts curated just for you. 

Earlier this year, we launched Visual Search to expand the possibilities of influencer discovery beyond traditional keyword or hashtag searches. With Visual Search, you can describe an ideal piece of content and get a targeted list of influencers posting content just like it. 

To provide guidance when transitioning into this new search method, we originally provided example search prompts when starting a Visual Search. But we didn’t want to stop there. To help tailor searches for optimal results, we’ve introduced Visual Search Suggestions.

Klear

Users using Klear’s Conversion Pixel can now import existing coupon codes from any eCommerce store to use in campaigns and track conversions.

For eCommerce brands, tracking conversions allows you to uncover your most successful influencers and see the overall impact of your influencer marketing efforts. This can be done in a number of ways like utilizing tracking links or coupon codes for each influencer. Previously, support for tracking coupon code conversions in Klear was limited to eCommerce brands using Shopify.

API Exports: Sampling

API

New API export options allow you to specify a maximum number of documents for a download, or a percentage of the results.

Previously, API exports returned a full volume of results matched by a search and time period. This left customers struggling to handle large volumes of data for high-volume topics, and made it very difficult for customers to stay within the data volume limits stated in their contracts. Now, you can use these refined export options to closely manage the volume of data you export from the API, knowing you’ll stay within your limits. Refocus on high-volume topics without being overwhelmed by data spikes, and discover sampled data for research projects, especially for broad searches.

Location data is now available for Instagram content in Explore results! Location data is AI-based, using post-level data, such as hashtags, language, user bio, etc., to infer the country/location of the person/handle.

By capturing where posts originate from, our users gain additional context on their audience sets. In other words, our users deepen their understanding of their audiences. For example, knowing where their audiences live or reside, can help Communications Pros run more targeted and location-relevant content or campaigns.

Access to this content is offered as add-on package. The 'Media format' lets you isolate print media when you have the add-on.

The subfilter works at the publisher level, classifying outlets according to the type of news media they mainly publish. For example, Marketwatch.com and all its published content fall in the Stock Market News category.

Klear: Influencers can now manually upload Instagram stories to campaigns

Klear

Previously, when influencers didn’t authenticate their Instagram account to Klear, the only way to report about the results of their Instagram Stories was for the brand to manually add those to the campaigns.

Often, when conducting exploratory research, you find a spike, dip, interesting word, etc., that interests you and you want to dive a little deeper into. However, you don’t want to have to alter your boolean or filters just to be able to. Now, with Filtered mentions, you can uncover the mentions driving these metrics, with a single click.

Monitor: Ability to create alerts + PDF download

Monitor

Save time and be informed of the key insights for your current searches without leaving the Monitor app. ‘Create alerts’ under the Create button at the top navigation bar allows users to set up various alerts based on their account’s entitlements. Alerts allow for passive media monitoring and for sharing key insights with others. 

‘PDF download’ is now an option under export content. You have the ability to download a PDF of the coverage you’ve selected.
How it works

Bulk Tracking Link in Connect

Klear

By sharing trackable links with influencers, you are able to view real-time insights on link performance, for a complete picture of the customer journey.

Previously, this was done by creating a unique tracking link, per influencer, and sharing it with them directly. Not anymore. Today, you share tracking links with multiple influencers at a time. They each receive a unique tracking link specific only to them, with a customized ID and UTM tags. This means what was once a very manual and time-consuming process, is now quick and automatic!
How it works

Select All for Location Filter

Explore

Announcing a new usability improvement for Explore users. The Location filter in Explore and Explore for MI have been updated to include a new Select All option. For clients that want to include several countries, or to simply exclude a few countries, it is faster to be able to select all, and then deselect the countries they wish to exclude from their results.

Support for Shopify Collections

Klear

In addition to selecting specific products during product gifting, Klear users now have the ability to also select from store collections. Instead of needing to select every individual product for a campaign, save time by selecting all products in a Shopify collection at once.

Calculate Engagement Rate by Reach

Klear

While follower count is a useful metric for social influencer campaigns, higher maturity rate customers asked for the ability to calculate reach. Reach is the ratio of total engagements divided by the number of users who actually saw it. While we recommend using Reach to calculate Engagement Rate, one size does not fit all. Some still prefer to calculate engagement rate using followers. That is why we’ve placed the power to choose in your hands. Simply go to your account settings and switch to the Reporting tab, and under Engagement Rate, select either Followers or Reach.

Klear - Filter Campaign Results with new Filters in Measure

Klear

Measure a specific subset of your campaign by network, media type, or influencer tag.

With the new Filter option in the measure tab of a campaign, you can now look more granularly, allowing for measurement within a subset of your overall campaign data. When paired with macro data, an easy way to look at microdata offers a more well-rounded view of your campaign. Filters include social network, media type, and influencer tag.

Smart Alerts Generic Webhook Integration

Integrations

Receive Meltwater Smart Alerts in the collaboration tools where you already conduct business.

A webhook in web development is how one app can send an automated message to another app. In this instance, it allows Meltwater to send Smart Alerts to other apps. Using an automation platform such as Zapier, Make, or IFTT (If This Then That), a user can connect to Discord, Google Chat, WhatsApp Business API, and many more!

By enabling this integration right from within Meltwater, our customers can now receive automated, AI-powered alerts sent directly to their preferred channels. Having a centralized channel with all Alerts flowing in will allow teams to better collaborate and act on business-critical news, market shifts/trends, and competitive intelligence.

  • Finding the right influencers that speak the language you need
  • Connect authentically with consumers in their native language
  • Expand to new markets and reach new cohorts

Radarly

In order to capture a more comprehensive global coverage, Linkfluence now offers access to Bilbili data via our Radarly consumer insights platform, along with a comprehensive range of other leading Asian social media platforms. You have access to Bilibili’s posts and authors, and can specifically manipulate Bilibili data using our filters, if you need to go deeper in the analysis of this platform.

You can find these new widgets on the Authors tab in Explore, and the Overview tab in Communities. Both are included in CSV exports and shareable dashboards.

Also, you can now sort the Authors tab in Communities, by Followers, Following, and Tweets. How it works
