When leadership asks “is this the right approach?”
Local-government communications staff work in high-scrutiny environments. Every social-media decision can land in front of a council member, a city manager, or a journalist asking why you chose that headline, that photo, that posting time.
Most teams answer with what feels right. The good ones answer with evidence.
GovFeeds is the authority layer.
- Data when leadership questions your approach.
- Benchmarks when council wants peer comparisons.
- Peer context when you defend a strategy choice.
You don’t need a platform. You need an answer.
The tools built for governments cost five figures and take months to roll out. The tools that are affordable were built for brands and don’t know your peers exist. GovFeeds is the third option.

See what works. Borrow it. Prove it.
Not a generic social-listening tool. GovFeeds does the two things civic communicators need most: borrow what’s working from peer governments, and prove your results to the people you answer to.
See what your peers post
Every post from every U.S. city and county government account we track — across Facebook, Instagram, and X, updated daily. See what’s working across governments like yours.
Find what works, then borrow it
Filter by topic, geography, population, engagement tier, and post type to surface the highest-performing posts from peers — then borrow the approach.
Benchmark your engagement
Auto-generated comparisons against peer governments — no spreadsheet wrangling. The numbers you bring when council asks how you compare.
Monthly custom reports
A custom monthly report comparing the accounts you choose to the peers you choose — ready to drop into your update to leadership.
Ask GovFeeds AI — optional by design
An in-app assistant that answers questions about the data and helps draft posts, grounded in real government posts. And because some agencies restrict generative AI, it’s fully optional: an admin can turn GovFeeds AI off for your organization entirely, so the AI features simply don’t appear.
