Brand monitoring · X (Twitter)

X moves fast. Your brand mentions shouldn't slip past.

A bad experience doesn't wait for a feedback form — it gets posted from the parking lot, and X gives it wheels. Reputably scans public posts on X (formerly Twitter) for your brand, your competitors and your keywords, scores the sentiment of every mention, and drafts your reply — so the post that could snowball meets a calm answer in minutes, not days.

“Two hours past my install window and Comfort Bros just told me ‘maybe Thursday.’ Posting this from my very warm living room.”

Suggested reply — you post it That's a miss on our part, full stop. DM us your address — I'll have our on-call tech out today and I'll call you myself within the hour. — Dave, owner

Why it matters

One angry post can outrun a hundred happy customers.

Nobody drafts a complaint email from the parking lot. They post it. X is where a bad experience goes public first — before the review, before the phone call, sometimes before your customer has left the premises. And unlike a review that sits on your profile, a post travels: retweets and quote posts can put it in front of thousands of strangers by dinner.

X is also where journalists and local influencers spend their day. A complaint that would die quietly elsewhere can get screenshotted and amplified into something much bigger — and the same is true in reverse: a glowing mention from the right account is advertising you can't buy. Either way, you want to know while the post is minutes old, not when a customer forwards it to you a week later.

To be straight with you: for most local businesses, X is lower-volume than Reddit or Facebook groups. But it's the highest-urgency channel when it fires — and the customer who posts the complaint at 2pm is often the same one who writes the one-star review by 5. Catch the post early and you can fix the problem before it hardens into a review.

How it works

From keyword to caught post in three steps.

1

Set your keywords

Your brand name, your competitors, and the category phrases customers use — “HVAC recommendation”, “best physio near me”, whatever fits your business.

2

We scan public posts

Reputably sweeps public posts on X for your keywords and runs sentiment on every hit. No account to connect, nothing to install.

3

You see it, you decide

Every mention lands in one feed with sentiment and context. Complaint? A de-escalation is drafted. Someone asking for a recommendation? So is your pitch.

Sentiment & intent

Know if X is complaining, recommending, or just name-dropping.

Every mention is scored — positive, negative or neutral — the moment it's caught, so you can skim a week of posts in seconds and jump straight to the one that needs you right now.

  • Sentiment on every mention. Praise, complaints and neutral name-drops are labelled automatically — no scrolling the feed to find the fire.
  • Intent scores on buyers. When someone asks “who do you actually trust for this?”, Reputably scores how close they are to booking — and drafts the reply.
  • Competitors too. Track rival names alongside yours — when a competitor gets called out for a no-show, that's your opening.

“Melbourne people — shoulder's been wrecked for six weeks and I'm done googling. Is there a physio you'd actually vouch for?”

Suggested reply — you post it Physio here (Peak Physio, Richmond) — six weeks in, get it assessed before it settles in for good. We hold same-week slots for exactly this. Even if you go elsewhere, don't wait it out.

“Shout-out to BrightNest — booked a deep clean at 9pm, crew showed up 8am sharp. Didn't know that was legal.”

Monitoring → action

Don't just watch it spread. Answer it.

Alerts are table stakes. Reputably drafts the response — a de-escalation for the complaint, a helpful answer for the recommendation request — using the same intent engine that turns Reddit threads into booked customers, pointed at X.

  • Drafts that cool things down. Complaint replies acknowledge, own the miss and move it to DMs — written to end the thread, not win it.
  • Nothing posts automatically. No account to connect, no auto-replies. You review the draft, tweak it if you like, and post it from your own profile.
  • Right-sized for local. X fires less often than Reddit or Facebook groups — so it's included in every plan from $99/month, not sold as an add-on.

FAQ

X monitoring, answered.

What is X (Twitter) monitoring?

X (Twitter) monitoring means tracking what people say about your brand, your competitors and your category on X — complaints, shout-outs, questions and recommendation requests — as they're posted. Reputably scans public posts for your tracked keywords, scores the sentiment of every mention, and drafts a reply when a post is worth answering.

Is it still called Twitter monitoring?

Both names are in use. The platform rebranded to X in 2023, but plenty of people — and plenty of search results — still say Twitter. Reputably monitors the same platform either way: public posts on x.com, tracked by the keywords you choose.

Do I need to connect my X account?

No. Reputably monitors public posts — there is nothing to connect and nothing posts automatically. When a post deserves a response, Reputably drafts it and you post it from your own account, so every reply is authentically you.

Why does speed matter so much on X?

Because X is where complaints go public first. A bad experience gets posted from the parking lot, and retweets and quote posts can spread it within hours — sometimes into the feeds of journalists and local influencers. A calm reply in the first hour usually contains it; the same reply a day later reads like damage control.

Is X worth monitoring for a local business?

Honestly: X is usually lower-volume for local businesses than Reddit or Facebook groups — but when it fires, it's the highest-urgency channel you have. That's why Reputably includes X monitoring in every plan from $99/month, alongside Reddit, Facebook groups and YouTube, rather than selling it as an add-on.
