How it works
- Set Your Listening Parameters. Define what you want to hear: your brand name, competitor names, product categories, industry keywords, or specific buying-intent phrases like 'looking for a solution' or 'we need to replace.' MentionFox monitors 52+ platforms simultaneously, so you capture conversations across Reddit communities, professional networks, forums, podcasts, review sites, and mainstream social media in a single unified feed. Choose exact matches or broader topic signals—the choice is yours.
- Surface Intent and Sentiment in Real Time. Every mention arrives with sentiment scoring (positive, neutral, negative) and intent classification, so you immediately know which conversations matter most. A mention of your competitor on Hacker News paired with 'looking for alternatives' carries different weight than a passing reference. MentionFox prioritizes high-intent conversations, allowing you to focus on leads most likely to convert rather than drowning in vanity mentions.
- Mine Every Thread Participant as a Lead. Foxtrails technology extracts every person in a conversation thread as a potential prospect. If five people discuss your product category on Reddit, you surface all five—not just the original poster. Each participant is a signal of active interest, and MentionFox helps you identify which conversations contain the highest-quality buyer signals across your 52+ platform network.
- Enrich and Route to Your Pipeline. Push qualified mentions directly into your CRM, spreadsheet, or outreach workflow. Enrich results with additional context and metadata so your team has everything needed to personalize first contact. No manual copying and pasting—integrate Social Listening results into your existing sales motion in seconds.
- Convert to Automated Outreach. Turn high-intent mentions into personalized outreach campaigns. MentionFox can draft context-aware emails based on the conversation thread, the participant's role, and the buying signal detected. Every email requires your preview and click-to-send approval—MentionFox never auto-sends, ensuring you maintain full control and authenticity in every outreach.
What you get
52+ Platform Coverage
Unlike tools limited to Twitter or a handful of networks, MentionFox scans Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Quora, Hacker News, public forums, news aggregators, podcasts, review platforms, TikTok, YouTube, Substack, Medium, and dozens more. Your buyers are having conversations everywhere—MentionFox listens everywhere.
Sentiment and Intent Scoring
Each mention is automatically classified by sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and intent (passive mention vs. active buying signal). Prioritize conversations where someone is explicitly looking for a solution, comparing options, or expressing frustration with an incumbent—the moments when buyers are most receptive.
Foxtrails: Participant Thread Mining
Extract every participant in a conversation thread, not just the original poster. A discussion about your product category on Hacker News might include five engineers and a product manager—all of them are prospects. Foxtrails surfaces the full network of interested parties so you capture every lead signal in a single conversation.
CRM and Workflow Integration
Push listening results directly to your existing tools. Route high-intent mentions to a spreadsheet, CRM, or sales pipeline in real time. No manual data entry, no context loss—every lead flows seamlessly into your workflow.
Outreach-Ready Context
Each mention arrives with the original thread, participant profile, sentiment, intent score, and platform source. MentionFox can draft personalized emails referencing the specific conversation, making first contact feel natural and informed rather than generic cold outreach.
Manual Send Control
Every outreach email goes through user preview before sending. You see the exact message, recipient, and context. Click to send or iterate. MentionFox enforces a human-in-the-loop model—no auto-sending, no fire-and-forget campaigns—so your outreach stays authentic and compliant.
