What Will My Listen Report Contain?
Each Listen Report will contain data from your Saved Search’s history. Any filters applied to your Search will not be considered. The time frame covered in your Report will depend on how often you opt to receive Reports (at step 5 from the guide below). For example, if you choose to receive a Report every month, you will receive the last month's data. If you choose to receive a Report every week, you will receive the last week's data.
In the Report, you will see:
- Volume history
- Daily mention volume broken down by sentiment, including the percentage increase and decrease compared with the previous period.
- Volume benchmark
- Total mention volume over the last 4 weeks against the previous 4 weeks, including the percentage increase and decrease.
- Content sources
- Total mention volume for queries broken down by content sources, including the percentage increase and decrease compared with the previous period.
- Content sources benchmark
- Total mention volume for content sources over the last 4 weeks against the previous 4 weeks, including the largest growth and the largest dip by content source.
- Word cloud
- Emojis, hashtags, locations, organisations, people, phrases, and keywords displayed by volume.
- Top authors
- Authors who have posted mentions about your brand the most, sorted by impact.
- Mentions
- Top mentions, sorted by impact.

Who Can Receive Listen Reports?

- From the top right, click the Create Report drop-down menu.
- Click Schedule Report.
- Enter a name for your report.
- Specify the frequency (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly).
- If applicable, click the Start date checkbox and use the calendar to select a start date.
- Input any applicable email addresses (separate multiple email addresses using a space or a comma).
- Click Schedule.
Editing and Deleting Listen Reports
Once you have successfully set up a Listen Report, you can adjust or delete it by following the steps below:
- From any page in Listen, click Reports from the top right (you do not need to visit the Saved Search).
