How a lookup works

Type one thing, then read what came back

  1. 1

    Type one thing

    A keyword, a handle, or a link. The page says what the lookup costs before you press Search.
  2. 2

    Read the saved answer

    It stays on your account with charts and plain sentences worked out from it. Opening it again is free until it ages out.
  3. 3

    Follow it to the next lookup

    A creator opens their posts and an app opens its reviews. Following a link only fills the search, so you choose when to spend.

What it does not do

  • Public accounts only.
  • The engagement audit costs 5 social credits, so it needs Growth or above.
  • There is no keyword-ideas lookup for Instagram. Its search returned accounts only when we tested it, so use TikTok's keyword ideas instead.

Questions people ask

What counts as a standout post?
A post is compared with the median of the other posts in the same list. 2× is notable, 5× an outlier, and 10× a breakout. Views are used when most posts have them; otherwise likes, comments, and shares.
Does it say when to post?
It shows a day by part-of-day grid in your own time zone. Below 20 dated posts it shows days only, because fewer posts cannot support an hour.
Can I download the results?
Yes. Every result has an Excel and a CSV download, built from the saved answer, so downloading does not use a lookup.
