Key takeaways

  • Your search phrases run as X (Twitter) searches through your own signed-in session.

  • Buyer-intent grading ranks "any recommendations for…" above promotions and news.
  • The same phrases also cover Facebook groups, Reddit, LinkedIn and Nextdoor.

How Twitter keyword alerts work

BuyerSpotter is a Chrome extension that monitors Facebook groups, Reddit, LinkedIn, X (Twitter) and Nextdoor for posts where someone asks to buy, hire or get a recommendation, and alerts you so you can reply yourself. For X (Twitter), each of your phrases runs as a search through the X account already signed in to Chrome. BuyerSpotter checks those searches on a schedule, adds new matching posts to your inbox and grades each one by buyer intent.

Phrases that find buyers on X

Short request phrases work better than product names alone. Compare "CRM" with "what CRM do you use" or "any recommendations for a CRM". Add exclusions such as "hiring" or "giveaway" to skip noise. The guide to X advanced search for buyer requests shows how to test a search before you rely on it, and the free keyword builder suggests phrases for your offer.

Where the alerts go

Connect desktop notifications, a Telegram bot or any webhook URL. Alerts are optional; matches stay in the inbox either way. There is no native Slack sign-in; a webhook can post to a destination you configure.

What to expect

Results depend on what X search returns to your account. Checks run every 15, 30 or 45 minutes depending on setup size, and only while Chrome is open. BuyerSpotter is read-only: it never posts, likes or sends direct messages.

If your buyers are more likely to ask on LinkedIn, LinkedIn monitoring works the same way; SaaS teams can start with the SaaS use case.

How do I set up Twitter alerts for keywords?

Install BuyerSpotter in desktop Chrome, add your phrases, make sure you are signed in to X in the same Chrome profile, and connect a desktop, Telegram or webhook alert.

No. Searches run through your own signed-in session in Chrome.

How often does it check X?

As often as every 15 minutes for a small setup; larger setups use 30 or 45 minutes.

Can it reply or DM for me?

No. You open the post on X and reply yourself.
