Estimated Views is a metric that approximates the number of times an average article from a publication has been viewed. This is accomplished by dividing a publication’s monthly page views by the number of articles it published in a given month. Additional logic is applied to eliminate outliers. Estimated Views are found across Meltwater, in Insight Reports, Dashboards, Explore, Media Relations, API (exports and streaming), and Content Stream Exports. The aggregate values are more relatable and trustworthy when used in a report outlining the impact of a campaign or an issue. With Estimated Views, you can rely on a more realistic metric across your Earned Media reporting.

Tagging people in posts expands reach and Instagram audiences: Reach a wider audience by tapping into the followers of the tagged profiles. This adds value when collaborating with influencers or other brands that are followed by a target audience. Showcases collaborations, partnerships, and creators while saving room in captions for additional content. By tagging profiles within the post, Engage users can save caption space. Unlike mentioning an account in a caption, tagged posts become part of the tagged content section on a profile, making it easier for Instagram users to discover related content.

Previously, you were limited to only being able to compare up to 10 inputs in Insights measuring Share of Voice. With this update, you can compare up to 25 brands, competitors, or other criteria within one Insight. Discover more comprehensive benchmarking by SOV (Share of Voice), report on earned media more effectively, and trust the reports you’re sharing with stakeholders. Advanced Benchmarking: compare more brands and competitors than previously possible in one view.

Now, admin users can decide if Custom Categories, Filter Sets, and Author Lists should be private to a Workspace, or shared across the larger organization. Assign Custom Categories, Filter Sets, or Author Lists to Workspaces according to their department, region, or project.

Ensure a consistent and visual brand identity across social by posting Instagram Carousel posts alongside FB, TW, LI, and YT.

We’re introducing a fifth Profile Type discoverable in Media Relations: Limited Profiles. Previously, profiles for journalists or other contacts that we considered inactive were not shown in Media Relations, nor were their profiles accessible. Limited profiles can be found in Meltwater in exact searches or when viewing older content. When you edit your list to remove limited profile types, you improve the chance of landing coverage.

As a result, you can engage authentically with those who find your message relevant, and discover media opportunities with accuracy.

Being able to scale the building of new Dashboards is really important. Similar to the option to duplicate entire Dashboards, we’re introducing the option to duplicate Insights. Duplicating an Insight reduces the amount of steps you take to the finished product. With less repeated configuration steps, you’re cutting down on the risk of accidental human error. 

Explainer leverages the power of LLMs to bring an AI-generated contextual explanation or summarization on the data you have selected and are investigating, allowing you to shorten the path to insight. After being rolled out in Discovery a few months ago to contextualize and bring to life insight recommendations found by Discovery, Explainer is now available in Insight Pages to summarize and bring context around a given post list.

Users spend a lot of their time working through content in the stream, processing mentions, researching, and categorizing. Now, the sort selection and order have been moved so that they are clearly displayed, ensuring users always know how their content is sorted, and how to make changes to the order.

AI-powered insights straight from the Mentions Trend widget in Explore, now with AI-powered plain language summary explanations to provide additional context, including the reasons for a spike. Spike analysis identifies and highlights statistically relevant shifts and anomalies in news and social conversations, guiding users to what’s truly impactful.

Our previous earned-media analytics features required a source to be specified for their analysis (for example, news or Facebook). As a result, developers had to create multiple analytics calls when retrieving the same analytics available in Explore.  This feature will update API analytics features to fully support Explore searches, and remove the need for customers to specify a source for their analysis. 

Previously, when creating a stacked bar chart cart in an Insight Page, the displayed value format was only able to display percentages. We’re improving this feature by adding the raw values as a displayed option! See and compare the precise values of each category in the dataset. Raw values can make it easier to see the scale of each category you are working with.

Klear allows brands to integrate their email accounts to easily scale their outreach by sending emails to hundreds of influencers at once, simplify their outreach workflows, and amplify their recruitment strategies by integrating application forms.

Trust the data and tell the complete story to stakeholders with confidence. As for the ability to select all when filtering? Sometimes, you have a specific language or location you’d like excluded rather than included. Now, instead of selecting manually, you can select all before making more changes in the settings.

Addressing a common need for more detailed PR reporting in Dashboards, we're introducing a new set of insights that break down metrics across news media types; TV, radio, online news and print news.

Sort content in your Daily Digest, using any of the seven different values to help surface the most impactful content first. The two new options are Social Echo and Engagement. Previously, sorting by Reach, Relevance, Prominence, Geography, Language, and Date were the only available selections when scheduling Daily Digest Reports.

With more customizable Daily Digests, users will be able to create relevant, accurate, and actionable reports.

Klear Users with access to an HQ Dashboard can now create and export high-level reports including workspace metrics. These reports are customizable to include aggregated metrics from either multiple workspaces or multiple campaigns. So, for example, if you run two holiday-focused campaigns, each in a different workspace (one in a UK workspace, one in a US workspace), you can create one aggregated report including metrics across these two campaigns. For enterprise brands and agencies, this means less time manually combining reports across workspaces to create comprehensive weekly, monthly, or yearly reports. Helping to streamline presentations to key stakeholders and leaving more time to focus on strategy.

Easily discover profiles with our new media profile icons for authors (Twitter/X) and journalists (Editorial/news). We’ve surfaced clear followup actions when scrolling through authors and journalists. See which content has expandable profile previews at-a-glance without leaving your Monitoring View or other content stream. Unlock faster tagging and sorting: Spend a lot of time researching journalists in Explore or Monitor? Consistent media research is now even simpler with an icon that shows clickable profiles.

Visual Search results can now be displayed by posts or by influencers. With results by posts, you’ll see a feed-style view of the exact pieces of content matching your search query instead of the influencer card view. Visual Search, much like a Topic or Keyword search, displays results by influencers. But, for campaigns requiring niche content creation, you might need to evaluate content first. So, we’ve expanded the options for how Visual Search results can be displayed to streamline the discovery process.

But today, we have expanded coupon code capabilities to support all eCommerce stores using Klear’s Conversion Pixel!

New API export options allow you to specify a maximum number of documents for a download, or a percentage of the results.

Previously, API exports returned a full volume of results matched by a search and time period. This left customers struggling to handle large volumes of data for high-volume topics, and made it very difficult for customers to stay within the data volume limits stated in their contracts. Now, you can use these refined export options to closely manage the volume of data you export from the API, knowing you’ll stay within your limits.

The actions available for searches in Explore have been replicated from the search drop-down menu to the purple Actions button for Keyword, Advanced, and Combined searches. Moving search actions under the Actions button helps declutter the search dropdown, and is a more intuitive design for users. By placing all actions under the Actions button, we’ve streamlined the workflow and behavior of users to put these options where they would naturally first look for them.

We’ve added a new banner for Engage users on the homepage that prompts users to connect their social accounts right away. The same banner also reminds them to reconnect accounts that are 48 hours away from expiring. The banner applies to all types of connections - paid, earned, and owned, ensuring workflows are streamlined, and no data is missed. Reduce the risk of losing access to your accounts and spending extra time reconnecting. These banners bring required actions front and center, so you can rest easy, without managing an expiration reminder calendar in the background.

We’ve updated the Spike Detection alert to include two additional new details:

1. Message Type - message type driving the spike (i.e. Twitter Retweet)
2. Top Topics - the most relevant topics driving the spike (i.e. people and society)
