A 90-second tour of GovFeeds.
Search what peer governments actually posted, filter to communities like yours, and let GovFeeds AI surface what’s working — the whole product in about a minute and a half.
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.
- Peer examples when council asks what others are doing.
- 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.
Learn from peer governments
Auto-generated insights drawn from what’s working across peer governments — no spreadsheet wrangling. The evidence you bring when council asks what’s driving results.
Monthly custom reports
A custom monthly report on the accounts you choose, with insights drawn from 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.

What is GovFeeds?
GovFeeds is a social-media benchmarking tool for U.S. local government. It tracks public engagement from 5,000+ city and county accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X, so you can see what’s working for peer communities, borrow it, and benchmark your own results. It’s flat team pricing from $80/month, with a 14-day free trial.
How do I see how my city’s social media compares to other cities?
Search GovFeeds for a topic, filter to peers by state, population, and post type, and you’ll see how engagement on similar posts compares across 5,000+ governments — and where your own results land. No spreadsheets or hand-built peer lists.
What should a city or county post on social media?
Start with what’s already working for peers. GovFeeds surfaces the posts driving the most engagement across thousands of local governments by topic — events, public safety, infrastructure, parks, recognition — so you can adapt proven ideas instead of guessing.
How much does GovFeeds cost?
Flat team pricing: $80/month (up to 5 users) or $160/month (up to 25), with a 14-day free trial that needs no credit card and no sales call. Annual options save two months, and at under $2,000/year it usually fits a PIO’s purchasing-card budget, under most local procurement thresholds. A smaller town or one-person shop?
