What Rally Considers

Relevance
Does this post match your brand?

Rally compares the post content against your brand profile, target audience, and hashtags.

  • -Topic alignment with your niche
  • -Audience overlap with your target demo
  • -Content tone matches your brand
Timing
Is the comment window still open?

Early comments get more visibility. Rally tells you how much time you have.

Now — Optimal window, comments can reach top

2-6 hours — Good window, still early engagement

6+ hours — Late, only if video is still growing fast

Quality
Is this creator worth engaging with?

Not all posts are equal. Rally evaluates the creator and content quality.

  • -Engagement rate on the post
  • -Creator authenticity and audience size
  • -Comment section activity
"Why I Picked This"
Rally explains its reasoning in plain English

Every surfaced post includes a plain-English explanation.

"High engagement rate (8.2%) on sustainable fashion topic. Creator's audience overlaps with your target demo. Optimal comment window: next 4 hours."

"This creator reviews products in your category. Comments are asking about alternatives — good opportunity to add value without selling."

If the reasoning doesn't resonate, skip it. Rally learns from your choices.

Using Scores Effectively

  • 90%+ confidence: High-quality opportunity. Worth your immediate attention.
  • 70-89% confidence: Good fit. Review the reasoning and decide.
  • Below 65%: Rally filters these out by default (configurable threshold).
  • Timing — Now: Act fast — this is your best window for visibility.
  • Trust your gut: If the reasoning doesn't make sense for your brand, skip it.
