Why Keyword Tracking?

• Buying, hiring, and research intent is often shared openly in LinkedIn posts
• Keyword tracking helps you catch these conversations as soon as they happen
• You no longer need to manually search or scroll LinkedIn
• You can respond faster with better context and timing

How OutX.ai Helps with Keyword Tracking

OutX.ai continuously scans LinkedIn for keywords you define or describe in plain English. It groups matching posts into organized watchlists with labels for clarity. You see all relevant conversations in a single feed, updated automatically. From there, you can engage manually or automate engagement using simple rules.

​

Quick Setup Guide

​

1. Create a Watchlist

Go to Keyword Tracking and click + New to create a new watchlist. A watchlist is where you tell OutX.ai what kind of LinkedIn posts you want to monitor.

---

​

2. Add a Prompt (What should we track?)

Instead of manually setting up keywords right away, you can simply describe what you want to track in plain English. Think of this as telling OutX.ai what kind of conversations you care about. Example prompts (under 200 characters):

• “People hiring remote engineers”
• “Founders talking about CRM tools”
• “Posts about outbound sales or lead generation”

OutX.ai uses this prompt to suggest relevant keywords for your watchlist. If you want full control, you can skip this step and click Create Manually to add keywords yourself.

​

3. Watchlist Details & Keywords

This section helps OutX.ai understand how to track posts accurately and how often to check LinkedIn. Add a clear name and short description so the watchlist is easy to understand. Watchlist Name Give your watchlist a clear name so it’s easy to recognize later. Use names that describe the intent clearly. Examples:

• AI Hiring Signals
• Outbound Tool Mentions
• Remote Jobs – Founders

This is especially helpful when you have multiple watchlists.

---

Watchlist Description Add a short explanation of what this watchlist is for. This helps your team (and future you) understand:

• Why this watchlist exists
• What kind of posts should appear here

---

How often should we check for posts? This controls how frequently OutX.ai scans LinkedIn for new posts.

• More frequent checks = faster alerts
• Less frequent checks = fewer notifications

Choose a frequency that matches how quickly you want to act on new signals.

---

​

Primary Keywords

These are the main words or phrases OutX.ai looks for in LinkedIn posts. Use keywords that directly relate to your intent. Examples:

• “hiring remote”
• “looking for developers”
• “CRM recommendation”

Posts containing these keywords will be considered relevant.

---

​

Must Also Include Keywords

Use this when a post should contain more than one condition to be relevant. Example: Track posts only if they mention:

• “hiring” and
• “remote”

This helps reduce noise and improves accuracy.

---

​

Excluded Keywords

These keywords tell OutX.ai what to ignore. If a post contains an excluded keyword, it will not appear—even if it matches your main keywords. Examples:

• “internship”
• “freelance”
• “agency”

This is useful for filtering out irrelevant posts.

---

​

4. Labels

Labels help you categorize posts inside a watchlist. Instead of putting everything in one bucket, labels let you:

• Group similar posts together
• Quickly understand why a post was captured
• Route signals to the right people or workflows

Label Name A short category name, such as:

• Remote Hiring
• Tool Comparison
• Buying Intent

Label Description A short explanation of what this label represents. This makes it easier to:

• Review posts faster
• Share context with teammates

---

​

5. Configuration

Fine-tune how and when you’re notified:

• Fetch frequency: How often OutX.ai scans LinkedIn (e.g., every 12 hours)
• Team access: Add teammates to the watchlist
• Slack integration: Drop in your webhook URL to receive real-time alerts

---

​

6. Feed

Finally you have a live feed where you can posts with your targeted keywords. You can use filters to figure on left side to narrow down on your posts, to learn more about filters click here
