Market Research via Social Video

Understand what products, brands and trends actually appear in social video content. Visual signals. Not keyword clouds. Not engagement metrics.

◈ What people show. Not what they write.

Standard social listening tools analyze text: captions, hashtags, comments, transcripts. They miss everything that is shown but not described. A product sitting on a desk. A logo on a jacket. A food item in a cooking video. A car in a travel vlog. This visual layer of social video is enormous and almost entirely unmapped.

RHISEARCH indexes the visual content of social video directly. Search for any product, brand, object or trend and see exactly how much video content features it on screen. Compare visibility across platforms. Filter by language, gender, content type and presence rate.

What you can analyze

Product and category visibility

Search for a product type to understand how much video content features it across platforms. Compare visibility between product categories to identify which are over or underrepresented.

Brand share of visual voice

Compare how often two or more competing brands appear across the same platform and content type. This is not share of mentions. It is share of actual screen time in real video content.

Trend detection by content type

Sort by date to surface the most recent content featuring a product or topic. Use TikTok as a leading indicator: trends typically appear there first before spreading to Instagram and YouTube.

Demographic context

Add gender and age filters to understand who is creating and featuring content around a product category. Useful for positioning decisions and audience analysis.

Platform filter
Isolate YouTube, TikTok or Instagram to compare platform-specific behavior.
Language filter
Focus on content from specific language markets or compare across regions.
Presence rate filter
Control how central your search term must be to the video.
