Think about the X accounts that matter in your world. The companies, the thought leaders, the media outlets, the conference accounts. Each one has a follower list, and buried in those lists are mena-based public figures. The problem is that X only lets you scroll through a long list of profile photos and short bios with no way to intelligently filter for the people you are looking for.
Public figures - politicians, athletes, entertainers, activists, journalists - carry enormous social capital. A public figure following an account is not just a vanity metric; it is an opportunity. They might share content with millions, become a brand ambassador, or open doors to opportunities that normal channels cannot reach. Identifying which public figures are in a given audience turns invisible influence into actionable intelligence.
Catch The Good Ones fixes that. Add any public X account and we classify every new follower using customisable AI-powered filters you define in plain English. The mena-based public figures surface to the top, classified and ready to act on. It works for any account - your own, a competitor, a thought leader, a conference, a media outlet. If an account has followers, we can find the mena-based public figures among them.
The Middle East and North Africa region has a rapidly growing ecosystem in this space, with active X communities.

Run a sync
Syncs run automatically on your schedule (up to 4x/day on Pro). Every new follower is classified by job role, personality, skills, and more.
Explore your matches
Your dashboard shows only the people who match your criteria. Full profile, job title, personality traits, and the date they followed.

See how it works for youBrands looking for celebrity or athlete endorsements
A public figure who already follows your brand is the warmest possible endorsement lead. They chose to follow you. That genuine interest is worth more than any paid placement.
See how it works for youPR teams monitoring brand visibility
You need to know when prominent people engage with your brand. A public figure following your company account is a newsworthy signal that your PR team can act on immediately.

How does Catch The Good Ones identify public figures?
We classify every new follower using AI that analyses their bio, recent posts, and profile data against your customisable filter dimensions. Public figures are identified by signals like verification status, audience size, media mentions, and professional positioning - but you define exactly what matters to you in plain English.
Can I filter for specific types of public figures?
Yes. Describe your target - for example, "journalists who cover technology" or "athletes with 500K+ followers". The customisable filters let you define exactly who qualifies as a public figure for your use case.
Does this work for verified accounts only?
No. Verification status is one signal among many, but it is not required. Many notable people are not verified on X. Our AI classification uses multiple signals to identify prominent individuals regardless of their verification status.
Can I really track any public X account?
Yes. Any public account. You do not need to own it, manage it, or have any relationship with it. Just add the handle and we start classifying their followers against your custom filters.
How many accounts can I track?
As many as you want. Each tracked account is billed separately based on the tier you choose (Starter, Growth, or Pro), so you can start with one and expand as you see results.
What does MENA cover?
Middle East and North Africa - including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and surrounding countries. Profiles referencing organisations, cities, or institutions in this region are captured.
