If you have multiple Saved Searches in Listen, you can compare up to ten of them at a time for aggregated analysis in your Listen dashboard. Comparing multiple Listen searches can have a number of benefits, from comparing your brand's share of voice with your competitors’ to gauging the success of multiple campaigns side by side.
Tip: For a refresher on how to create and save an individual search in Listen, see our article on Creating and Saving Searches.
Adding multiple searches to your Listen dashboard
Note: It’s not possible to add multiple Quick Searches to your Listen dashboard — instead, save the Quick Search as a Saved Search before adding it to your dashboard. Please keep in mind that only Social Media Management users with a user role of Team Leader or Admin can save Quick Searches as a Saved Search.
In Listen, view any existing Saved Search (or, save your search if viewing a Quick Search).
Click Add Saved Search in the navigation bar at the top of your dashboard, and a drop-down menu with your Saved Searches will open. If desired, add up to nine additional Saved Searches to your dashboard (you can compare up to a maximum of ten Saved Searches in each dashboard).
After adding multiple searches, you will see your dashboard components update to display an aggregated analysis of your searches.
Editing a multiple search dashboard
From the Saved Searches menu, you can see which of your search dashboards have multiple searches applied to them. Open the respective dashboard to add or remove searches from it. Click the X icon next to a search in the navigation bar of your dashboard to remove it from that dashboard.
How does Listen compare data from multiple searches?
When you add multiple Saved Searches to your Listen dashboard, your dashboard will aggregate key insights and metrics from all of the searches you selected, in addition to offering insights broken down by individual search to help you easily compare and benchmark your data.
Your Multiple Search dashboard will include the following components:
Warning: If the same Mention exists in the multiple searches that you add to your dashboard, it is displayed once for each search it is brought into.
Exporting insights from a multiple search dashboard
Note: At this time, creating Alerts, scheduling reports, and exporting files of individual dashboard components is not supported for dashboards with multiple searches.
Exporting Mentions from multiple searches
Multiple search mentions can be exported as a PDF from your dashboard using the same process as exporting mentions from an individual search. For more information on exporting mentions, see our article on Exporting Mentions in Listen.
Exporting a PDF report of multiple searches
Multiple search reports can be exported as a PDF from your dashboard using the same process as exporting a PDF report for an individual search. For more information on exporting PDF reports, see our article on Exporting Insights in Listen.
