Social listening for SaaS companies
Your prospects are posting 'I need a tool like yours' every day on Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Buska finds them, scores their intent, and delivers them to your pipeline before competitors even notice.
Updated August 2026
The SaaS lead generation challenge
Traditional outbound is losing effectiveness. Cold emails get ignored, ads get expensive, and buying intent is scattered across dozens of social platforms. Your best leads are already talking about their needs online.
- Cold outreach conversion keeps dropping
- Manually monitoring Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn takes hours daily
- Competitor mentions and buying signals are missed
- No way to score or prioritize social leads by intent
How it works
Set up competitor and pain-point keywords
Add the keywords your prospects use when looking for solutions like yours. Include competitor names, pain points, and buying phrases.
Buska scans 30+ platforms for buying signals on your plan's schedule
Twitter/X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Hacker News, G2, Product Hunt, Quora, and more. Scans run every hour on Scale, every 3 hours on Growth, and once a day on Starter, so you never have to check manually.
AI scores each lead from 0-100 and matches your ICP
Every signal gets an intent score based on language, urgency, and fit. Leads matching your ICP are surfaced first.
Reply with AI-generated contextual messages or export to CRM
Use Reply Studio to craft personalized responses in seconds. Or push leads to HubSpot, Salesforce, or your outreach tool.
