What Cool Tabs Social Listening is
Cool Tabs Social Listening monitors hashtags, mentions, and keywords on X and Instagram, with real-time measures of campaign reach, activity, and participation. Alerts can flag volume peaks, sentiment shifts, or mentions from influential accounts. Its analysis tools include natural language processing with custom dictionaries, sentiment analysis through IBM Watson Analytics, and automatic categorization. The service can geolocate up to 40% of X content for territorial analysis, and reports can be exported in PDF or Excel. Instagram hashtag monitoring covers content from the last 24 hours onward; X monitoring is on demand, costs extra, and is capped at 10,000 posts per month. A free 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
