Geo-search streams are used to help you find tweets and Twitter conversations relevant to your brand that are happening in:

Geo-search streams in Hootsuite allow you to monitor Twitter conversations and tweets originating from specific geographical areas. This is crucial for local businesses, event organizers, or anyone needing to understand public sentiment or activity within a defined physical location or region. While you can filter by country, the power of geo-search lies in its ability to pinpoint much smaller, more precise areas, like a city, neighborhood, or even a specific venue. This is more granular than simply searching within your home country. Geo-search does not focus on pre-set topic areas (that's keyword searching), nor does it access private profiles or closed networks, as Twitter's API restricts this. It also doesn't apply to specific social networks, as geo-search is a Twitter-specific feature.
