"Finding trending content used to mean hours scrolling through feeds. PostNext's viral discovery shows me exactly what's working in my niche with AI analysis of why. We've replicated viral strategies and our average post reach increased from 5K to 87K in two months."

James Sullivan

"The engagement pattern analysis is pure gold. We discovered video carousels with music perform 4x better for our audience than static posts. Armed with these insights, we increased our follower growth rate by 320% and hit 500K followers last month."

Viral Content Discovery Tool Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about viral content research? Our support team is here to help.

What is the Viral Content Discovery Tool?

The Viral Content Discovery Tool is an AI-powered research platform that finds and analyzes trending social media posts across LinkedIn, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook. Instead of manually scrolling through feeds looking for inspiration, you can search by topic or industry, filter by platform and timeframe, and instantly discover what content is going viral in your niche—complete with engagement metrics, AI analysis of why it's working, and actionable recommendations for your own content strategy.

Which social media platforms does it search?

The tool searches across all major social platforms: LinkedIn (posts, articles), Instagram (feed posts, reels), X/Twitter (tweets, threads), TikTok (videos), and Facebook (posts, videos). You can search all platforms simultaneously to see what's trending across social media, or filter by specific platforms to focus on where your audience is most active. Each platform's unique engagement metrics are captured and analyzed.

How does the AI analysis work?

Our AI analyzes thousands of high-performing posts to identify patterns in content that drives engagement. It looks at common themes across viral posts, content formats (videos vs images vs text), emotional triggers and storytelling techniques, posting times and frequency, hashtag strategies, and engagement patterns (what drives comments vs shares). The AI then generates insights explaining what's working and why, giving you strategic guidance rather than just showing raw data.

Can I filter by specific time periods?

Yes! You can adjust the time range to discover content from the past 7 days (for very recent trends), 14 days (for emerging trends), or 30 days (for established patterns). This flexibility lets you spot new trends early before they become saturated, validate that trends have staying power before investing in them, or analyze seasonal content from previous periods for planning purposes.

What metrics does it show for each viral post?

For each discovered post, you'll see platform-specific engagement metrics including: total engagement (likes + comments + shares combined), individual breakdowns (likes, comments, shares, saves, views), engagement rate percentage, posting date and time, relevance score (how closely it matches your search), and author information. This gives you complete visibility into actual performance, not just vanity metrics.

How does it generate content recommendations?

Based on your search and the viral content discovered, our AI identifies content opportunities by finding topics that are trending in your industry but underrepresented in your content mix, suggesting content formats (video, carousel, thread) that are driving engagement in your niche, recommending optimal posting times based on when similar content performed best, identifying hashtag strategies and themes that resonate with your target audience, and highlighting gaps your competitors haven't addressed yet.

Can I save discovered content for inspiration?

Absolutely! You can save individual viral posts to your inspiration library, create collections organized by theme or campaign, add notes about what you want to adapt from each post, share discoveries with team members for collaboration, and reference saved content when creating new posts. Think of it as your personal swipe file of proven, high-performing content ideas.

How often is viral content data updated?

Our discovery engine continuously monitors social platforms and updates viral content data in real-time. When you perform a search, you're seeing the most recent trending posts based on current engagement levels. For rapidly developing trends (like breaking news or viral moments), you can re-search at any time to see updated results with fresh viral content and evolving engagement metrics.
