Should My Business Use X Pro? (Formerly TweetDeck)

Updated on:
Updated by: Ciaran Connolly

In the fast-paced digital marketplace of 2025, SMEs across Northern Ireland and the UK are constantly seeking effective ways to cut through the noise. Social media—particularly X (formerly Twitter)—remains a vital channel for building brand presence, engaging with customers, and driving business growth. Yet for busy entrepreneurs and marketing teams in bustling hubs like Belfast or growing towns such as Newry, managing social media effectively can be a significant drain on resources.

Enter X Pro, the evolution of the once-beloved (and free) TweetDeck, now a premium offering. For many NI and UK businesses, the question is straightforward: Is X Pro worth the investment, or is it just another subscription eating into your budget?

“At ProfileTree, we’ve seen first-hand how robust social media management, powered by tools like X Pro and augmented with AI insights, can transform client engagement and growth,” notes Ciaran Connolly, Director at ProfileTree. “It’s about leveraging these platforms strategically to connect with your local audience, whether you’re a retail business in Lisburn or a B2B service targeting clients across the UK. The key is understanding if X Pro aligns with your specific business goals and how it integrates into a smarter, AI-enhanced digital strategy.”

This comprehensive guide cuts through the marketing hype to provide practical insights for UK and NI business owners. We’ll examine what X Pro offers in 2025, explore tangible benefits for various business types across Northern Ireland and the wider UK, and—most importantly—help you assess its potential return on investment for your specific situation.

Understanding the Shift: From TweetDeck to X Pro

For years, TweetDeck was the go-to dashboard for social media professionals, small business owners, and communications teams. Its multi-column interface offered an unmatched overview of X feeds, searches, and messages—all without cost. A small café in Derry/Londonderry could monitor local event hashtags like #MaidensCity, track mentions of their business, and respond to customer queries, all from a single screen.

However, following X’s strategic repositioning under new ownership, TweetDeck underwent a fundamental transformation. In 2023, it was rebranded as X Pro and moved behind the X Premium+ subscription paywall. This wasn’t merely a name change; it represented a complete shift in accessibility and value proposition.

For many UK SMEs and independent professionals who had built their social workflows around the free TweetDeck, this change prompted an urgent reassessment. Local businesses that relied on TweetDeck for campaign monitoring and customer service now faced a choice: justify a new subscription cost, find alternatives, or revert to the more limited standard X interface.

This transition also reflects X’s broader strategy to monetise its power users while creating a more integrated premium ecosystem. While some features have been enhanced, the core question remains: Does X Pro deliver enough additional value to warrant its cost for your specific business needs?

X Pro in 2025: Key Features & Current Pricing for UK Businesses

X Pro has evolved significantly since its TweetDeck days. As of May 2025, here’s what UK and NI businesses can expect from the platform:

Core Business Features

  • Advanced Multi-Column Dashboard: Customisable layout offering simultaneous viewing of multiple feeds, searches, messages, and lists
  • Multi-Account Management: Control and post from multiple profiles without constant logging in and out
  • Scheduled Posting: Plan content days or weeks in advance, with visual calendar integration
  • Advanced Search Capabilities: Monitor complex search queries using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to filter for precise content
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Track brand mentions, hashtags, and keywords as they happen
  • Team Collaboration Tools: Delegate access levels to team members (basic in Premium, more advanced in Premium+)
  • Ad-free Experience: No promotional content within the X Pro interface
  • Content Organisation: Create and manage collections of content for reference or repurposing
  • Enhanced Analytics Integration: Better visibility of post performance directly in your dashboard

Current UK Pricing Structure (May 2025)

X Pro is available exclusively through X Premium+ subscription:

  • X Premium+: £16/month (billed monthly) or £168/year (£14/month billed annually)
  • X Premium (Basic): £8/month (offers limited X Pro features)

For UK businesses, it’s worth noting that this subscription is tax-deductible as a business expense, effectively reducing the actual cost. A Belfast marketing agency managing multiple client accounts might find the Premium+ tier essential, while a sole trader in Bangor might consider if the basic Premium tier meets their needs.

The Business Case: How X Pro Can Benefit Different UK SME Types

The value of X Pro varies significantly depending on your business type and social media objectives. Let’s explore how different NI and UK businesses can leverage this tool effectively:

For Retail Businesses (e.g., Boutiques in Lisburn, Online Shops across NI)

X Pro offers retail businesses powerful ways to boost local engagement and sales:

  • Local Hashtag Monitoring: Track conversations around #ShopLocalNI or #BelfastShopping to identify potential customers
  • Customer Service Hub: Respond quickly to product questions and feedback through a dedicated customer service column
  • Promotional Planning: Schedule promotional posts to coincide with local events or shopping seasons

Real-world application: A specialty food shop in Ballymena uses X Pro to monitor mentions of “artisan food NI” and “local produce Belfast,” allowing them to join relevant conversations and attract new customers. They’ve set up columns to track competitors and food festivals across Northern Ireland, helping them stay on top of industry trends and events where they might exhibit.

For Service-Based Businesses (e.g., Consultants in Newry, Tradespeople in Omagh)

Professional service providers can use X Pro to build authority and generate leads:

  • Thought Leadership: Share relevant industry insights and professional advice on a consistent schedule
  • Networking Efficiency: Monitor and engage with potential clients and partners through tailored lists
  • Opportunity Alerts: Create search columns for terms like “looking for recommendations” in your service area

Real-world application: An accountancy firm in Armagh uses X Pro to schedule weekly tax tips and regulatory updates, positioning themselves as experts. They maintain separate columns tracking financial discussions relevant to their SME clients and have seen a 22% increase in website visits from X since implementing this approach.

For B2B Companies (e.g., Software firms in Belfast, Manufacturing in Craigavon)

B2B enterprises can leverage X Pro for market intelligence and relationship building:

  • Decision-maker Engagement: Follow and interact with potential client companies’ key personnel
  • Industry Monitoring: Track sector-specific conversations and breaking news affecting your market
  • Competitive Intelligence: Keep tabs on competitor announcements and customer interactions

Real-world application: A B2B software company in the Titanic Quarter uses X Pro to monitor conversations around “digital transformation NI” and “enterprise software UK.” They maintain lists of industry analysts, potential clients, and competitors, allowing them to quickly engage with relevant discussions. Their business development team attributes at least three major leads per quarter directly to relationships initiated through these monitored conversations.

For Tourism and Hospitality (e.g., Hotels in Newcastle, Tour Operators in Fermanagh)

Tourism businesses can use X Pro to capitalise on travel trends and visitor engagement:

  • Seasonal Planning: Schedule content around key tourism periods and local events
  • Visitor Experience: Monitor and respond to visitor feedback in real-time
  • Destination Marketing: Track conversations about Northern Ireland tourism to join relevant discussions

Real-world application: A boutique hotel in the Causeway Coast area uses X Pro to monitor mentions of “Northern Ireland travel” and “Giant’s Causeway visit.” They’ve created a dedicated column for tracking international travel bloggers interested in Ireland, allowing them to build relationships and secure valuable coverage. During peak season, they report that X Pro helps them respond to guest queries up to 74% faster than their previous approach.

Calculating the ROI: Is X Pro Worth the Investment for Your SME?

Perhaps the most critical question for any NI or UK business owner considering X Pro is straightforward: “Will this tool pay for itself?” With X Pro now requiring a subscription, understanding its potential return on investment is essential.

While attributing direct sales to social media activities can be complex, we can approach ROI from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives:

Quantifiable Benefits

  • Time Savings: The most immediate and measurable benefit
  • Increased Engagement: Measurable improvements in interactions with your content
  • Lead Generation: Enquiries or website visits attributable to X
  • Response Efficiency: Faster customer service resolution times
  • Content Performance: Improved reach and impact of your posts

A Practical ROI Framework for UK SMEs

To help you assess potential ROI, consider this straightforward calculation approach:

1. Estimate Time Saved

  • Current weekly hours spent on X management: ___ hours
  • Estimated weekly hours saved with X Pro: ___ hours
  • Hourly rate of staff managing social media: £___
  • Annual time cost saving: (Hours saved × Hourly rate × 52 weeks) = £___

2. Value Potential Lead Increase

3. Calculate Basic ROI

  • Annual X Premium+ subscription: £168 (2025 pricing)
  • Basic ROI: [(Time savings + Revenue potential – Subscription cost) ÷ Subscription cost] × 100%

Example calculation for a Banbridge consultancy firm:

  • 3 hours saved weekly × £18/hour × 52 weeks = £2,808 time saving
  • 2 additional monthly leads × 12 months × 20% conversion × £1,500 average project = £7,200 potential revenue
  • ROI = [(£2,808 + £7,200 – £168) ÷ £168] × 100% = 5,857% potential return

While this example shows a compelling return, your actual results will vary based on your specific business, market position, and how effectively you use the tool.

Beyond Numbers: Qualitative Benefits for NI Businesses

Some benefits are harder to quantify but still valuable:

  • Brand Perception: More consistent, responsive presence improves how your brand is perceived
  • Market Intelligence: Better awareness of industry trends and competitor activities
  • Crisis Management: Faster detection and response to potential PR issues
  • Team Efficiency: Reduced stress and improved workflow for marketing staff

For a local business in Northern Ireland, these qualitative benefits can be particularly significant. In tightly-knit communities where word-of-mouth and reputation matter tremendously, the ability to monitor and engage with local conversations promptly can yield disproportionate returns.

X Pro Analytics: Measuring Your Success

Effective measurement is essential to maximise your return on X Pro. The platform offers several analytics capabilities to help NI and UK businesses track performance:

Native Analytics Features

Within X Pro and the broader X Premium+ subscription, you’ll have access to:

  • Impression Tracking: See how many users viewed your posts
  • Engagement Metrics: Monitor replies, reposts, likes, and clicks
  • Follower Growth: Track audience growth over time
  • Post Performance: Identify your highest-performing content
  • Audience Insights: Basic demographic data about your followers

Interpreting These Metrics for Business Insights

The real value comes from turning these metrics into actionable business intelligence:

  • Content Optimisation: Identify which topics, formats, and posting times drive the most engagement
  • Audience Understanding: Refine your target audience based on who actually engages with your content
  • ROI Validation: Connect social media activities to website traffic and lead generation
  • Competitive Benchmarking: Compare your performance against industry standards

Analytics Limitations and Solutions

X Pro’s native analytics, while useful, have certain limitations for businesses requiring deeper insights:

  • Limited Attribution: Difficulty tracking user journeys from X to conversion
  • Restricted Historical Data: Limited access to long-term performance trends
  • Basic Audience Segmentation: Less granular than dedicated analytics platforms

For businesses needing more comprehensive analytics, ProfileTree recommends supplementing X Pro with:

  • Google Analytics integration: To track website traffic from X
  • UTM parameters: For better attribution of clicks and conversions
  • Third-party social listening tools: For broader sentiment analysis and industry benchmarking

A local electronics retailer in Coleraine found that combining X Pro’s native analytics with Google Analytics increased their ability to attribute sales to specific social campaigns by 47%, allowing for much more precise ROI calculation.

The Rise of AI in Social Media: How ProfileTree Leverages AI for Enhanced Results

The integration of artificial intelligence into social media management represents the next frontier for businesses seeking competitive advantage. ProfileTree has been at the forefront of this evolution, helping NI and UK businesses leverage AI alongside platforms like X Pro.

How ProfileTree Integrates AI into Your Social Media Strategy

Content Optimisation & Distribution: AI tools can transform how businesses approach content creation and scheduling:

  • AI-Driven Content Suggestions: Analysing trending topics relevant to your NI/UK audience
  • Optimal Posting Time Analysis: Using AI to determine when your specific audience is most active
  • Hashtag Optimisation: Identifying the most effective hashtags based on performance data

Example: A tech startup in Belfast’s Innovation Factory used AI analysis to discover their audience was most responsive to content posted on Wednesday evenings, contrary to general best practices. This insight led to a 31% increase in engagement after adjusting their X Pro scheduling.

Audience Insights & Sentiment Analysis: AI can uncover deeper patterns in how audiences perceive and interact with your brand:

  • Automated Sentiment Tracking: Monitoring the emotional tone of conversations about your brand
  • Topic Clustering: Identifying common themes in customer feedback
  • Audience Segmentation: Dividing your audience into more precise behavioural groups

Example: A tourism business promoting the Mourne Mountains used AI sentiment analysis to discover that international visitors were particularly impressed with local hospitality, while UK visitors emphasized scenery. This insight allowed them to tailor their messaging more effectively to different audience segments.

Performance Analysis & Reporting: AI excels at finding patterns in complex data that humans might miss:

  • Anomaly Detection: Automatically flagging unusual spikes or drops in engagement
  • Content Format Analysis: Identifying which content types (text, images, videos) perform best
  • Competitive Performance Comparison: Benchmarking your metrics against similar businesses

Example: A retail chain with stores in Belfast, Derry and Newry used AI-powered analysis to discover that product showcase videos performed 3.4x better than static images, but only when they featured local staff members—a pattern they wouldn’t have identified through manual analysis.

  • Set up automated sharing of new website content to X
  • Establish processes for routing X-generated leads to your CRM system
  • Create channel-specific goals that align with overall marketing objectives

ProfileTree’s Integrated Approach

ProfileTree specialises in creating these seamless connections between platforms:

Example: A manufacturing business in Dungannon worked with ProfileTree to integrate their X Pro management with their broader content strategy. Their approach included:

  1. Creating monthly themes aligned with industry events and seasonal needs
  2. Developing cornerstone content pieces for their website
  3. Breaking these into smaller, X-friendly formats shared via X Pro
  4. Monitoring engagement through X Pro to identify high-interest topics
  5. Expanding popular topics into new website content
  6. Using X Pro’s search capabilities to identify new content opportunities

This integrated approach resulted in a 27% increase in website traffic, with visitors from X spending 41% longer on the site than average visitors—demonstrating the power of strategic integration.

While X Pro offers compelling benefits, it’s not the only social media management tool available to NI and UK businesses. Understanding the alternatives helps ensure you choose the right solution for your specific needs.

Local Market Considerations

For NI businesses specifically, consider:

  • Local Business Networks: Many NI business networking groups are particularly active on X
  • Public Sector Engagement: Government agencies and support organisations in NI are generally more responsive on X than other platforms

FAQ: Your X Pro Questions Answered for Businesses

Is X Pro difficult to learn if I used the old TweetDeck?

If you were familiar with TweetDeck, you’ll find X Pro relatively easy to adapt to. The core column-based interface remains similar, though some features have been relocated and enhanced. Most businesses report a short learning curve of about 1-2 weeks to become fully comfortable with the new interface. ProfileTree offers quick-start training sessions specifically designed for teams transitioning from TweetDeck to X Pro.

What are the main security considerations for managing multiple accounts on X Pro?

Security is paramount when managing multiple accounts. Key considerations include:

  • Access Management: Carefully control who has access to your X Pro dashboard
  • Regular Password Updates: Change passwords quarterly at minimum
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Enable this for all linked accounts
  • Session Management: Regularly check for and remove any unauthorised sessions
  • Secure Network Usage: Avoid using X Pro on public Wi-Fi without a VPN

ProfileTree recommends implementing a social media security policy that addresses these concerns specifically.

Can I manage my personal X account and business accounts from one X Pro dashboard?

Yes, X Pro allows you to manage both personal and business accounts from a single dashboard. However, we recommend considering these best practices:

  • Create clear visual distinction between personal and business columns
  • Consider setting up separate browser profiles to avoid accidental cross-posting
  • Establish a verification process before posting to prevent publishing personal content to business accounts

Many professionals in Northern Ireland maintain this separation successfully while enjoying the convenience of a unified dashboard.

How does X Pro handle team collaboration if multiple staff need access?

X Pro’s team collaboration features vary by subscription level:

  • X Premium+: Supports team access with basic permission settings
  • For more advanced team needs, some businesses supplement X Pro with additional team management tools

For NI businesses with multiple team members managing social accounts, ProfileTree can help establish workflows that maximise collaboration while maintaining security.

What’s the first step if I want ProfileTree to help me with X Pro and my social media strategy?

The journey begins with a no-obligation discovery call to understand your current situation and objectives. During this call, we’ll:

  1. Discuss your business goals and target audience
  2. Review your current social media presence
  3. Explain how X Pro and AI-enhanced management might benefit your specific situation
  4. Outline potential next steps and investment levels

To arrange this call, simply reach out through our website contact form or call our Belfast office directly.

How can smaller businesses in Northern Ireland justify the cost of X Pro plus professional management?

For smaller businesses with limited budgets, we recommend:

  1. Start with a focused strategy that targets specific business objectives
  2. Consider a phased approach, beginning with setup and training, then moving to ongoing management
  3. Look at combined services that integrate social media with other essential digital marketing elements

ProfileTree offers flexible service packages specifically designed for NI small businesses with varying budget constraints.

Can X Pro help my business reach international markets beyond Northern Ireland and the UK?

Absolutely. X Pro is particularly valuable for businesses looking to expand their reach:

  • Creating dedicated columns to monitor conversations in target international markets
  • Scheduling posts to reach audiences in different time zones
  • Building relationships with influencers and potential partners in new markets

ProfileTree has helped numerous NI businesses use X effectively as part of their international growth strategies, from food producers targeting European markets to technology firms reaching North American clients.
