X audience insights: see what your audience engages with, not just how many follow

the short answer

A follower count hides everything useful; x-signal shows what your X audience actually engages with, sorts your posts into performance tiers from viral to niche, and ranks the posts that drove real follower growth.

Follower count is the vanity metric everyone watches and the one that tells you least. Ten thousand followers where two hundred engage is a very different account from ten thousand where three thousand do, but the headline number looks identical.

What actually changes your decisions is knowing what your audience responds to: the kinds of engagement they give you, which of your posts truly landed, and which ones brought new followers in. This page covers the audience insights x-signal surfaces and why they beat a raw total.

What your audience actually engages with

x-signal breaks your engagement down by type, likes, reposts, replies, quotes and bookmarks, so you see how people interact rather than just how often. An audience that bookmarks and replies is telling you something very different from one that only likes, and that mix points at what to make more of.

It also shows the language mix across your recent posts, so if part of your audience engages in a different language than you write in, you can see it instead of guessing.

Which posts landed, and which grew you

Every post is sorted into a performance tier against your own account, viral (your top 1% for reach), strong (top 10%), mainstream (top 25%), steady (above your median) and niche (below it), so 'good' is measured against your normal, not a global number.

Then x-signal ranks your posts by the followers it attributes to each one, so you can see the specific posts that actually moved your audience, not just the ones that got likes. That is the difference between a post that performed and a post that grew you.

frequently asked

Does x-signal show me who my individual followers are?
No. x-signal analyses your audience in aggregate, how they engage and which posts grew your following, rather than profiling individual accounts.
How are performance tiers worked out?
Against your own history. A post is 'viral' if it's in roughly your top 1% for reach, down to 'niche' below your median, so the bar reflects your normal rather than a global average.
What does 'attributed followers' mean?
x-signal links follower gains back to the posts that drove them, so it can rank which of your posts actually brought people in, beyond raw likes or impressions.
Do I need to give posting access?
No. x-signal connects read-only and analyses your audience metrics without posting or changing anything.
