Most civic engagement tools miss out on your residents’ organic conversations

Know what your residents really care about
Identify trends in sentiment, leading topics, and the most influential communication channels to gain actionable insights into the things that matter most to your community members. Whether you directly asked residents for input on a topic or they’re discussing a community issue organically - you’ll know about it with Zencity.


Boost engagement by focusing on your community’s priorities
Optimize your reach across all channels to maximize engagement and make the decisions that will resonate best. Then, measure performance with benchmarking data from communities similar to yours.
