Running Briefs
Custom Research Sources
Point Mavrtr at specific URLs to include in a brief.
Custom sources tell Mavrtr where to read beyond its default surfaces. Useful when you know there's a goldmine of customer language in a specific Reddit thread, competitor review page, or niche forum.
How to add custom sources
On the new brief page, after selecting a product, expand Advanced settings. Paste URLs one at a time into the custom sources field and press Enter.
| Plan | Max custom sources per brief |
|---|---|
| Trial / Operator | Not available |
| Studio | 3 |
| Agency | 6 |
Good sources: Reddit threads, competitor Trustpilot pages, niche forums, YouTube comment sections. Skip: the brand's own homepage (read automatically), generic category pages with no buyer discussion.
Workspace default sources
You can set default custom sources in Settings → Research Defaults. These are automatically included in every new brief in that workspace.
