Defining an audience is the first step in report creation. Audiense allows you to create different types of audiences. In this article, you will learn how to create audiences based on profile attributes.
This can be done through the Basic Audience Insights Manager or Advanced Audience Insights Manager (Note: the Advanced Insights Manager is only available for paid subscriptions).
Basic Audience Insights Manager:
With the basic audience manager you are able to define your audience using the following criteria:
- Followers of @handle: this can be your current community on Twitter, or your competitor’s
- Job role: this will search for profiles that have defined themselves with this role
- Bio Keywords: information users provide in their profile bio
- Interests: what the users are interested in
- Country: type it in and pick from the drop-down menu if you want to limit it to a specific country
Make sure you select the right category from the options you are given.
You can add multiple options, every filter added will expand the range of the search, acting as an OR boolean operator.
