Listen where your customers are—from one neighbourhood to a whole country.
Choose the named places your business can serve. Reputably combines that location context with buyer-intent scoring, so the conversations at the top of your feed are relevant both commercially and geographically.

“Our cleaner cancelled before settlement. Anyone around Fitzroy available for a move-out clean this week?”
A lead outside your market is still noise.
Social listening tools often begin with a keyword and end with an alert. That works for global brand awareness, but it is a poor fit for a dentist with one clinic, an HVAC company covering a specific city, or an agency responsible for ten clients in ten different markets.
Reputably starts with a more useful question: where can this business actually win a customer? Named-area targeting lets a local team focus tightly, a multi-location operator separate markets, and a national business expand coverage without changing the core workflow.
Location is not used alone. Reputably considers it alongside the words, context, intent and freshness of the conversation. That is how a vague mention becomes a low priority while a nearby “who do you recommend?” request rises to the top.
Match the listening area to the business.
Use one named area or monitor multiple markets. The targeting model stays understandable for the people who need to act on the results.
How documented location controls compare.
Public documentation shows that mainstream listening products handle geography differently. The important question is not whether a tool has a location filter; it is whether that filter matches the market your team needs to act in.
| Platform | Documented location behaviour | What that means for a local team |
|---|---|---|
| Reputably | Targets named neighbourhoods, cities, states and countries. | Match listening to the actual service area. |
| Mention | Its documentation describes country-level filtering and says city or state filtering is not supported. | Useful for country analysis, but broader than many local markets. |
| Brand24 | Its geolocation documentation describes filtering by countries and continents. | Broad geographic filtering rather than named local-area targeting. |
| Sprout Social Listening | Its documentation says a query cannot be built for a specific geographic area and that location is unavailable at message level. | Geographic audience analysis is different from filtering every opportunity to a service area. |

Location targeting works with intent—not instead of it.
Choose named markets
Define the neighbourhoods, cities, states, or countries where the business can serve customers.
Read the conversation
Reputably evaluates what the person needs, how close they are to buying, and whether the place is relevant.
Route the right lead
The relevant team sees a prioritised conversation and a draft response while the opportunity is still fresh.
Location-targeted listening, answered.
What locations can Reputably target?
Named neighbourhoods, cities, states, and countries. A local business can focus on a small service area, while a multi-location or national business can monitor several markets or an entire country.
Does Reputably use radius targeting?
Reputably's location targeting is based on named areas rather than a mileage or kilometre radius. Choose the neighbourhoods, cities, states, or countries relevant to your operation.
How does location targeting reduce noise?
It helps separate an actionable local recommendation request from a similar conversation in a market you cannot serve. Reputably uses location together with intent and conversation context when prioritising results.
Can agencies target different locations for different clients?
Yes. Agencies can configure the appropriate named markets for each client, while multi-location businesses can keep each team focused on its own service areas.
