Intent Users

Definition and Context
Intent Users are audience members who demonstrate clear signals of purchase readiness, specific information seeking, or defined action orientation through their engagement patterns and behavioral cues. These users play a distinct role in social operations, yet their identification depends on accurate signal detection and segmentation methods. Compare within the same platform, topic, and audience segments, and track time‑series trends before drawing conclusions. SocialEcho automatically scores and segments intent users based on their engagement history and behavioral patterns.

Example Table Schema

Fields: date, platform, post_id, impressions, reach, likes, comments, shares, saves, link_clicks, view_starts, views_3s, views_5s, completes, avg_view_duration, dwell_time, scroll_depth.

Baselines and Benchmarks

• Build internal baselines per platform, content type, and time window;
• Describe spread using quartiles, not a single average;
• Segment by topic, first-screen elements, duration, and format to avoid the "average trap."

Pitfalls

• Relying on a single metric without cross-validation;
• Treating one spike as a lasting trend;
• Ignoring counting differences across platforms.

Diagnostic Questions

1. When do peaks occur and how do they align with posting windows?
2. Against same-topic posts in other formats, is the gap due to cover, headline, or structure?
3. Do drop-offs align with narrative density or CTA placement?
