What, Who and Why?
• An influencer can be anyone engaged with a certain brand or
topic.
• The key thing to consider is what type of influencer is important
to you.

What, Who and Why?
• Highly influential people are great, they have huge reach and the
potential to spread a brand message far and wide.
• But you can also identify groups that represent your typical
consumer and buyer. What else can we learn about them?

quick and easy to identify segments of

Research Queries
• Finding influencers that are known to your brand is easy, but
what about an area of conversation currently unknown to your
brand
• We must construct a research query around an area of
discussion that we want to explore, use all of the data available
to you to do this
• Research query’s don’t have to be around a specific brand or
product, they are just looking at a topic of discussion.

Tips On Writing Research Queries
• Start narrow – think about what you want to find (opposite to a
brand query)
• Jump into the data and use your findings to add to the query.
How are people talking? Where are they talking?
• Use Channels and specific sites where you know the
conversations are happening to determine the types of language
people use

Use The Tools at Your Disposal
• Author lists and rules using filters will make it easy to keep tabs
on the most influential people and their online activity.
• How long you track a group is up to you, but be sure to look for
patterns and changes in the way they interact.
• Monitor demographics to understand how to tailor content to your
audience.

Author Queries
• Use the Author operator to string together a query around
influential people
• Run this query to find out what else they are talking about online
• Cross comparing with other lists will determine who is influential
in certain topics
• Peer Index integration will make this process much easier!
