Getting Started
From sign-up to your first scan result in about 90 seconds. Here is exactly what happens.
Step 01
Sign up
Go to the Sightlabs homepage and click Get started. Enter your email and create a password. You will land directly in the dashboard. No email verification gate, no onboarding questionnaire.
Your account starts on a 14-day free trial with full Pro features. No credit card is required to begin.
Step 02
Choose a scan type
The scan widget has three modes. Pick the one that matches what you want to track:
Tracks mentions of a company or product name. Best for marketing and PR teams monitoring their own brand or a competitor.
Tracks mentions of a person or creator handle. Useful for creator relations, executive visibility, and personal brand monitoring.
Tracks a topic or phrase. Useful for market research, trend detection, and finding conversations where your brand could participate.
Step 03
Select sources and run
Type your query, check the platforms you want to include, and click Run Scan. Sightlabs queries each selected source in parallel. Most scans complete in under 5 seconds.
While the scan runs you will see a progress indicator. When it finishes, results appear inline, no page reload.
Step 04
Read your first result
Every scan result has four sections:
- Sentiment breakdown · Percentage of mentions that are positive, neutral, or negative.
- Sources · How many mentions came from each platform.
- Top mentions · The three most relevant individual posts, each with a sentiment tag.
- AI report · Themes, action items, and PR risk flags generated from the full mention set.
