Residential Proxy Network for Social listening

Residential IPs for Social listening

Social listening means monitoring the performance of your online brand and following the relevant conversations that take place on social media to gain knowledge and insights on the market and your competitors.

Most online conversations today take place on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. It is therefore important to know how to orient yourself in this landscape and how to track those conversations (such as tweets, replies, and comment threads) that can be relevant to your business. Whether you want to understand how your brand is perceived online, or you want to monitor what your competitors are doing and how they are performing, social listening is the key tool for you.

Social listening allows you to…
● Track mentions of your brand
● Find conversations relevant to your market
● Analyze customer behavior
● Research specific keywords

In recent years, social listening has also become popular among journalism start-up companies that gather user-generated content.

In order to monitor social media effectively, companies often use tools to track them from one single platform. These tools allow you to avoid wasting lots of time and energy to monitor conversations manually.

How to prevent being blocked

When you’re scraping the web for information, in particular if you use scraping tools that work fast and on multiple sites, there is a high risk that you will be detected and blocked by your target sites. If your target site recognizes that you’re trying to scrape its data, its server will block you.

A common solution to prevent being blocked is to use a proxy server, which allows you to use – and even rotate between – Residential IPs. These IP addresses look unsuspicious and help you gather the data in total anonymity. Beware that if you’re using a proxy server but the IP you’re using is not residential, you might still be detected.
