Discovering Content Ideas with GoHighLevel Social Listening

The discovery panel surfaces content ideas from major social networks so you can quickly understand what is working in your niche.

Supported platforms inside GoHighLevel

Social listening currently focuses on two content sources:

  • TikTok videos
  • YouTube videos

Both sources allow you to explore topics, creators, and engagement metrics in one place, without leaving GoHighLevel.

Searching by keywords and categories in GoHighLevel

At the top of the Social Listening screen, you can narrow results using text search and category filters.

  • Keyword search: Type a word or phrase related to your niche to find relevant TikTok or YouTube videos.
  • Category filter: Choose from a list of topics (for example, marketing, fitness, finance) to see content that fits your industry.

Use a combination of specific keywords and broad categories to get a balanced list of ideas.

Using Filters and Sorting in GoHighLevel Social Planner

Filters and sorting options help you find the most useful content quickly, so you can base your strategy on strong performance signals.

Filter options in GoHighLevel Social Listening

On the left side of the Social Listening panel, you will see several filters that refine your results:

  • Platforms: Choose TikTok, YouTube, or both.
  • Languages: Filter content by language to focus on audiences you serve.
  • Engagement metrics: Filter by minimum views, likes, or comments where available.
  • Date range: Limit results to content published within a certain period, such as last 7 days or last 30 days.

Apply multiple filters together to focus on fresh, high-performing content that matches your target audience.

Sorting results for better insights in GoHighLevel

Once your filters are set, you can sort the list of content to highlight what matters most.

  • Sort by views: Surface the most-watched videos first.
  • Sort by likes or engagement: Focus on content that triggers reactions.
  • Sort by date: Check what is trending right now versus what performed well in the past.

Experiment with different sorting options to spot patterns in topics, formats, and hooks that your audience is likely to respond to.
