Find high-signal threads
Search Reddit for competitor names, "alternative to [product]," or category keywords in relevant subreddits. On X, search mentions, check replies under competitor launch posts, and follow hashtags in your niche.
Prioritize threads with recent activity and real opinions, not single spam comments. Save URLs in a spreadsheet column for repeat visits.
Scrape mentions with Social Scraper+
Open each thread or post. Scrape comments or replies. Export to CSV if you want to filter in Excel, or JSON if you are building a mention tracker.
Enable metadata fields so you have permalinks and timestamps. Useful when someone asks "where did you see that?" in a meeting.
Analyze what people actually say
Sort CSV by score to surface top-voted takes. Search for your brand name, competitor names, and pain keywords ("slow," "expensive," "missing feature").
Use AI export on the highest-signal threads for a quick summary memo. Paste into ChatGPT with a prompt like "list every competitor mentioned and whether sentiment is positive or negative."
Stay ethical and legal
Use exports for internal research and product decisions. Do not republish full threads as marketing content or pretend quotes are testimonials you collected.
Comply with Reddit and X terms of service. Social Scraper+ reads pages you open; it is not affiliated with either platform.
