Signals desk · weekdays, 12:30 UTC

Someone described your product today. They just didn't use your name.

Every weekday Sonar comes back with the people publicly complaining about your competitor, asking which tool to buy, or typing out the exact problem you remove — quoted, linked, and paired with an opening line you can send in the thread.

What lands in your table

One weekday. Five people asking out loud.

A real sweep for a B2B reporting tool — the top rows, exactly as they arrive.

“Our reporting tool just doubled at renewal with zero warning. Has anyone actually moved off it recently?”

How it works

Describe the category once. Read intent every weekday after that.

01Point the sweep

What you sell, who you sell against, and the words your buyers use for the problem. Five minutes, set once, editable whenever your positioning moves.

0212:30 UTC, Monday to Friday

Sonar reads Reddit, X and the public communities for competitor complaints, recommendation asks and problem posts inside your category — then quotes each one verbatim.

03Reply while the thread is warm

Open the table, read the quote, take the suggested opener, and answer in the thread from your own account. Same-day, in public, where the question was asked.

Inside every sweep

Three things a contact list will never give you.

Intent, not titles

Nobody here matched a persona filter. They wrote a post this week asking for help with the thing you sell — that is a different quality of lead entirely.

The quote is the context

Every row carries their own sentence and a link to the live thread, so your reply answers what they actually said instead of what a firmographic guessed.

Timing you can't fake

A recommendation thread answered the same day converts. Answered next month it is already closed. Sonar exists to close that gap to hours.

Who runs the desk

Our three best customers came from one thread I found by accident.

Twin Labs · Pipeline desk

Sweeping public threads for buying intent since 2025.

I stumbled into a competitor-complaint thread, replied honestly, and closed three of the people in it. Then I spent a year trying to repeat the accident by hand and mostly forgot to look. Sonar is that habit turned into an instrument: same sweep, every weekday, opening lines included, nothing left to remember.

FAQ

The three fair objections.

What if my category is quiet — five signals or zero?

Whatever is actually there. Sonar found five in one weekday for the B2B reporting tool above; a narrower category returns fewer, and some days the honest answer is one. That is exactly why the first sweep is free and runs the same day — you see your real number before you pay for the thirtieth.

Isn't this just social listening under a new name?

Listening tools count mentions of you. Nobody venting about your competitor's renewal price mentions you — they have never heard of you. Sonar searches the problem and the competitor instead of your brand, which is why the rows are strangers rather than existing customers.

Does it post, DM or email anyone on my behalf?

Never. Sonar captures the quote, the link and a suggested opening line, and stops there. Every reply is written and sent by you, from your own account, in the public thread where the question was asked.

Run one sweep. See your real number.

Point Sonar at your category and read the live signals, quoted and linked, before you pay anything.
