Create a Cision Social Listening Saved Search

Social Listening Quick Searches, Guided Quick Searches and Advanced Searches can be saved to provide you with future access to the search results, without having to recreate the initial search string. Saving a search also provides 12 months of historical data. (NOTE: The number of available saved searches is based upon the package included with your account.)
