KEYWORD FILTERING

Narrow the feed without a query language.

A broad keyword, a common brand word, a category term, can bury the mentions that actually matter under noise. Social Line's "must also mention" and "hide if it mentions" modifiers narrow a keyword down to what's relevant, in plain language instead of Boolean query syntax.

HOW IT WORKS

The workflow, step by step.

01

Start with the keyword you actually care about

A brand, product, competitor, or category term, tracked the same way any keyword is.

02

Add "must also mention" to narrow it

Require a second term, a city, a product line, a qualifier, so only mentions containing both match.

03

Add "hide if it mentions" to cut noise

Exclude mentions containing a term that signals irrelevance, without writing a Boolean query.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What makes this work.

Plain-language modifiers

"Must also mention" and "hide if it mentions" replace AND/OR/NOT query syntax with two filters anyone on the team can set up.

Works on any keyword

Brand, product, competitor, or category keywords all support the same two modifiers.

Organize alongside filtering

Group filtered keywords into Brand, Competitors, and Campaigns so the sidebar stays readable at ten keywords or a hundred.

Applies across all seven platforms

Modifiers narrow a keyword the same way regardless of which platforms you've enabled it on.

FAQ

Questions about boolean keyword filtering

Is this a full Boolean query language?

No, by design. "Must also mention" and "hide if it mentions" cover the common cases (requiring a qualifier, excluding an irrelevant term) without needing AND/OR/NOT syntax.

Can I combine both modifiers on one keyword?

Yes, a single keyword can have both a "must also mention" and a "hide if it mentions" term set at once.

Do the modifiers apply per platform or per keyword?

Per keyword. The same filter applies across whichever platforms you've enabled for that keyword.
