The platforms changed.
The listening tools didn't.

Social listening was built for the open web. Lurk is built for the algorithmic feeds that replaced it.

THEN

The Open Web

Public. Chronological. Searchable.
Everyone saw the same conversation.

NOW

Echo Chambers

Algorithmic. Personalized. Opaque.
Every audience sees a different feed.

What breaks when you can't see the feed

False Consensus

Your message resonates inside a cluster that already agrees with you.

Optimizing for the Converted

Content gets tuned for your base. The persuadable audience never sees it.

Narrative Blind Spots

Parallel narratives in adjacent audiences that never show up in your mentions.

A new category of listening tool

Social Listening

Tracks what audiences say

× Can't see inside feeds

Influencer Platforms

Tracks how creators perform

× Can't see audience feeds

Feed Intelligence

Shows what audiences see

What we're building

How it works

STEP 01

Build personas

Define synthetic personas that mirror your target audience — by age, location, interests, and political lean.

STEP 02

Train the algorithm

Over multiple sessions, we interact with the feed until the algorithm personalizes. You don't have to do anything.

What feed data unlocks

Feed Shift Alerts

Know when the environment changes — before your content underperforms.

Content-Feed Fit Score

Pre-flight check: will the algorithm distribute this?

Share of Feed

Not share of voice. How much do people actually see you?

Creator by Feed Presence

How often the algorithm puts a creator in front of your audience.

Feed Briefings

A photograph of what the feed looks like right now, for your audience.

Whitespace Finder

What's not in the feed. The gap the algorithm is waiting to fill.

Five decisions feed data changes

This isn't a new report. It's a new input to your decisions.

01

Change the creative

Your feed briefing shows short-form humor is dominating. Your 60-second brand story won't break through. Adjust format, hook, pacing, and tone to match what the algorithm is distributing.

02

Pick a different creator

The influencer with 2M followers never appears in your target's feed. The one with 200k shows up in 60% of them. Select creators by feed presence, not follower count.

03

Time the launch

Three competitors just flooded the feed with similar content. Wait a week, or find the whitespace they missed. Enter the feed when there's room, not when it's saturated.

04

Shift the spend

Your target audience sees 3x more relevant content on TikTok than Instagram. Reallocate budget between platforms based on content-environment fit.

05

Kill before launch

The feed is saturated with this exact format and tone. Spending money on it would be wasted. Kill it before you launch, not after it underperforms.
