# Getting Started with Catch The Good Ones

Welcome to Catch The Good Ones! This guide walks you through setting up your account and discovering your first people of interest.

## What is Catch The Good Ones?

Catch The Good Ones helps you understand **who** is engaging with your social media content - not just how many. It surfaces people of interest who have recently followed, liked, or engaged with your tracked accounts.

You can also explore another account's followers to find high-value people to connect with - useful for competitor analysis, finding collaborators, or building targeted audiences.

## Step 1: Create your account

1. Visit [catchthegoodones.com](https://www.catchthegoodones.com) and click **Sign Up**
2. Enter your email and create a password
3. You will be taken to the Streams page

## Step 2: Add an X account to track

1. In the sidebar, click **X** under Accounts
2. Enter the X handle you want to track (e.g. `elonmusk`)
3. Select a tier for the account (Starter, Growth, or Pro)
4. The handle will be verified and added to your tracked accounts list

## Step 3: Create a saved search

Before your first sync runs, you need to tell the app what makes someone a "good one" for you.

1. Go to the **Search** page in the sidebar
2. Type a description of your ideal audience in plain English (e.g. "Female tech founders with 10K+ followers")
3. Or use the inline edit panel to manually select values across filter dimensions
4. Your first saved search becomes the default for all tracked accounts

## Step 4: Wait for your first sync

Your first sync will run automatically based on your sync schedule. You can also trigger a manual sync from the Sync page.

During a sync, Catch The Good Ones will:

* Fetch new followers of your tracked accounts
* Fetch people who liked recent posts
* Remove bot accounts
* Classify real people using AI-powered filters you have defined
* Surface high fit and medium fit leads on the Leads page

## Step 5: Review your leads

Once a sync completes, visit the **Leads** page to see the people who matched your filters. Each lead card shows:

* Profile photo, name, and handle
* Follower count and engagement signals (e.g. "Followed you", "Liked 2 posts")
* Classification details based on your filter criteria

## What's next?

* [Set up notifications](/help/notifications) to get alerted when new leads are found
* [Generate an API key](/help/api-key) to integrate with Zapier or your own tools
* [Configure your sync schedule](/help/sync-schedule) to control when syncs run
