Intro to Quid Compete

Quid Compete helps you maximize your social media impact and win out over your competitors with custom insights, competitive benchmarking, and a full suite of metrics. Quid Compete integrates with Quid Monitor in companion mode so you can easily access your existing Quid Monitor listening metrics for brand health, competitive research, and industry trends.

After your organization licenses Quid Compete, users can connect to any public topic in your Quid Monitor account and optionally apply any public Quid Monitor theme. With Quid Compete, instant and saved searches also have access to all data in your organization’s single-client data pool, such as Facebook, Instagram, and other types of data downloaded through Quid Monitor topics.

📝 NOTES:

  • If you have licensed Quid Compete and do not see the Quid Monitor Topics option on the left navigation bar, contact your Quid Account Manager or Quid Support.

  • Quid Compete trial accounts do not include the Quid Monitor Topics option.
