Keyboard shortcuts for Hootsuite
Log into Hootsuite. Click Add Stream then select Search and enter these filters in the search bar with the keyword you want to track.
Find real humans, not spam and sales messages
Social media is filled with spam and vendors selling products, making it hard to see actual customer conversations. To get past this, you can tailor your search in Hootsuite to only show posts without links. This reveals actual human conversations—such as people talking about what fashion products they like, car enthusiasts sharing what accessories they’d buy, and other little communities.
To find posts without links, use the following filter after a keyword in hootsuite: -filter:links
Example: coffee -filter:links
Find social posts with links—filtering out chatter
On the other hand, you may want to only see posts that contain links (if you’re doing competitive research, for example).
To find posts with links, use the following filter after a keyword: filter:links
Example: coffee filter:links
Find customers near you
To find conversations happening close to your physical location, use the following filter after a keyword: near:[location]
Example: coffee near:Liverpool
(Of course, you would replace “Liverpool” with whatever city you’re searching for.)
Search social posts by language
If you want to find posts in a specific language, use your keyword, followed by “lang:” and the appropriate language code. So, if you want to search for Spanish speakers (language code “es”) searching for “café” that search would look like…
Example: café lang:es
This works for other languages as well (en, fr, zh-cn, and so on).
Search posts with questions
In Hootsuite, add a ? to your keyword and you’ll only see posts with questions. Whether you want to find customer questions you can easily resolve or need quick ideas for blog posts or social content, this filter can help you understand and engage with your customers better.
Example: best coffee machine?
