Social Profiles

Whether you are building an advisory board, sourcing expert quotes for content marketing, or identifying consultants for a project, you need to find people who are genuinely knowledgeable and publicly recognized in their field.

The Social Profiles tool lets you pull LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube profiles for potential experts. You can verify their credentials, assess their audience reach, check how actively they share expertise, and compare multiple candidates to find the best fit for your specific need.

This workflow is used by content teams seeking expert contributors, companies building advisory boards, and consulting firms identifying domain specialists. The profile data helps you distinguish genuine experts from self-proclaimed ones, based on audience size, engagement, and content depth.
