Not Bad, but not enough just yet
I have been using comment marketing for my business, and I think Octolens works really well for commenting on YouTube and X. But on other platforms, it’s not used much for sellers to show their products. It would be awesome if you could add more places like Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Quora, and other communities.
Overall, I really like Octolens and have already commented on hundreds of posts!

Nov 11, 2024Hi Erin! Thanks for the positive review :) We also find that Reddit is great for comment marketing - which we support. We will definielty work on broadening our platform coverage in the future.

It's ok but needs improvements
- Location filtering needed, ie, United States only
- Limited platforms, this would be great if it actually scraped other platforms. Right now it's very limited. I can only do so much with LInkedin and Reddit.
This may work on topics constantly talked about. Mine was property management and the alerts were far and few in between. If I could keep an eye on a website like BiggerPockets or any other website using only the sites URL, that would be awesome and I know it can be done with Puppeteer and IP address rotator like Bright Data... but so be it. It was headed in the right direction, but not right for my needs.

Nov 11, 2024Hi Cientiros! Thanks a lot for your feedback. We will work on adding more platforms, next to Linkedin and Reddit we have X, Hacker News, YouTube, DEV, Stack Overflow, and GitHub already live. We are working also on forums and newsletters at the moment.
As for geotargeting, I totally get the need - we will need to check if we can implement this at some point, it would be very cool!
Again, thanks...

Good tool but low limits
I really like Octolense and am currently on the third tier. There are some bugs, but I see constant improvements, and support is active. My main concern is the limit set by the team on the second and third tiers it’s just not enough for a social monitoring tool. Since relevant posts aren’t always found, I’ve tried refining keywords multiple times with support's help, but with these limits, the tool can become unusable.
Buying additional mentions (1k for $5) doesn’t make sense. Ideally, the second tier should offer 5-6k mentions, and the third tier 10-12k, with at least 1,000 mentions per keyword. Otherwise, it feels like a monthly subscription under the label of a lifetime deal. I hope these limits will be adjusted and more platforms added in the future. Other than that, the tool performs as promised but the current limits are far too restrictive.

Nov 11, 2024Hi Verdant, thanks for sharing your feedback! I understand you would like higher limits, we are really trying our best to offer as much as possible in the tiers. We want to build a long lasting business and will try and improve all the time.
I am happy to hear that you do like the tool, and will note your feedback on limits. Thanks for taking the time to share this, it's always much appreciated...

It is essentially unusable due to these low limits.
After four days of using this tool, I already used 70 percent of the credits in the Tier 2 plan. Another issue is the lack of integrations with LinkedIn outreach tools like HeyReach or Wallaxy. I'm uncertain how you'll manage all the posts, as manual outreach isn't scalable. It would be beneficial if you could automate the process and push leads to discuss your targeted topics.

Nov 8, 2024Hi Manoj! Thanks for your review. You do need to monitor what keywords you choose and go a bit more targeted - that will also get you better results.
You can also work with advanced settings to cut down unnecessary results (E.g. negative keywords). Happy to have a look at your choices if you write support!
We now also have webhooks in tier 3 so you can feed mentions to other tools.

I love it. If finds opportunities for me online.
It finds me posts from LinkedIn & Reddit & X.
I love their AI engine that categorizes 'High, Medium, Low' intent.
My keywords settings are
"Looking for" AND "marketing OR sales OR Outreach"
My only concern is, The 2500 credits gets finished very quickly somehow.
My request, Include Quora.

Nov 7, 2024Hi! Thanks for your review :) Great that you are loving the AI relevance score.
I would suggest adding a more targeted keyword as a main keyword though!
We will be exploring Quora in the future also - thanks for the feedback.
