Why search across platforms
Buyers do not post in just one place
One search, every community
Run a query once across up to 13 communities instead of checking each site by hand.
Ranked by buying intent
Each result is scored for intent and sentiment, so recommendation and switching threads come first.
Filtered for relevance
Results are checked against your query and brand, so you are not reading every passing keyword mention.
Auto Search on a schedule
Save a brand and Needle reruns the search for you, then alerts your team about new threads.
Problem phrases, not just brand names
Search how buyers describe the pain to find people who have never heard of you yet.
You reply, Needle never does
Needle finds and ranks threads. Every reply is written and posted by you, within each community’s rules.
Your next customer just posted on social media. Will you be the first to reply?
