general information

There are several types of communities:

Groups (open, closed, private)

join the group and invite friends
The user can hide his groups, then the parser will not be able to identify him as a member of a particular group

Events (meetings)

Used to promote online or offline events.
When joining such a community, a person can choose the options: Definitely going (participant) or Probably going (possible participant).
Participants are notified before the event starts.
The parser can find past or upcoming events.
Read more about working with this type of community here .

Public pages (publics)

Pages that cannot be hidden in profile settings.
subscribe to them and offer news .
The parser can find communities based on different criteria.

Consider searching for VKontakte groups by keyword in:

Name
Status
Descriptions

And now in more detail about each search method.

What is the difference between a group and a public page?

Groups and public pages have different functionality.

Public page

The information is open to everyone.
The wall is closed, all publications from visitors are made through the “Suggest news” function.
There are two sections in which you can consolidate important information.
It is possible to create events.
There is no possibility to conduct discussions on the wall with resource visitors.
You cannot delete people who have subscribed to the page.
For advertising, the “Tell Friends” function is used.

Group

There is a way to restrict access to a certain circle of people.
It is possible to open the wall, allowing users to freely communicate, comment or post pictures.
To pin posts, there are 3 sections available, which allows you to create an additional block and use it, for example, as a menu.
There is a document upload function.
You can remove unwanted participants.
You are allowed to invite up to 40 friends per day.
Subscribers can set their privacy so that your group will not appear on their page.

Regardless of what exactly you decide to create, there is always the opportunity to change the type of community. To decide whether a VK group or page is best suited for you, you need to clearly define the purpose for which the resource is being created. A public page cannot be hidden using privacy settings, and for frequent users, it will always be displayed in the left menu. This is the perfect unobtrusive advertising.

If you are promoting a brand or personality that is well-known among a certain category of people, then without a doubt choose this option. The group has the opportunity to open a wall so that readers of the public can leave their comments and participate in various discussions. Therefore, if you are going to make money from advertising or promote little-known products, this is an ideal choice. And if you just decide to chat with people who like the same things as you, don’t even think about a public page. There are few opportunities for communication, and all information is posted only with the permission of the owner.

Search for VKontakte groups by keyword in the title

Most often, words are added to the community name by which it can be identified. For example, a cafe, school, restaurant. This is the most common way to find a community.

Keyword in the community name

This is what the community name with the keyword looks like.

Let's figure out how to look for such communities.

To work, go to the Search tab > Communities > Key phrase

The logic of searching for communities using key phrases is simple. First, enter the key phrases that will be searched. Then we set other characteristics of communities if necessary.

In addition to general parameters, in the search you can select:

Verified communities

Such communities were checked and verified by VK
A special icon appears next to their name
When you hover you can read help information
If the community name says Official Community or an icon imitating a checkmark is placed, the parser will not collect such a community

Verified Community
This is how verified communities are displayed.

Only communities with goods

The parser will find communities that have products
Usually the Products is connected in commercial communities

Important : when displaying results in some communities, you may not see products. This means that in the settings the Products is connected, but is not filled in now.

Now let's look at the general settings for searching for communities.

What is a VKontakte group

In order to understand what a community is, let’s look at it using a photo gallery as an example. Let's imagine that you are selling photographs taken by a novice photographer. In order to attract clients, you rent some space, do renovations there, arrange furniture and post pictures. Perhaps you offer some promotions or special offers. So, the group is your gallery, into which you need to attract visitors in every possible way.

General search settings

Exact occurrence of the search phrase

no checkmark next to this option . That is, the parser will automatically collect all word forms for the given keywords
If you check the box, the search will be carried out according to the words that we write one at a time on a new line in the input data

Participants From and To

Shows the size of communities
You can select both borders ( From and To ), or one of them
Using the setting is useful to collect of interest by size

Large communities are not always suitable for analyzing target audiences (especially entertainment ones). Then you can limit the number of participants to 50,000 - 100,000.

In other projects, on the contrary, it is large publics that are of interest. And for still others, the gold is in small communities. Therefore, it is better to choose the size immediately based on further tasks.

Community type

If there is no special task to find a specific type of community, this option does not need to be selected.

Sorting

By default, the results are returned without any sorting.
If we choose sorting, the search results are limited to 1000 communities per keyword
Significantly reduces output

Geolocation

You can select the country and city/region
For Russia and Ukraine, be sure to also select a city/region

It is important to know one feature here. As soon as we select the country and city/region in the parser settings, we immediately cut off Publics . Even if we select the Community Type Public .

Creating a group in VK. General scheme

What will you need?

VK page
Login to the World Wide Web
free time to create a group

Instructions:

open an account
open the "My Groups" (on the left)
activate the line “Create a group”
review the options offered by the system: group, public, community. In this case, we create a group

"Create a group" option in the "My groups" section

enter the name of the group
press the "Create"
describe the theme of the group: business, music, favorite actors, etc.
indicate the country, city, locality (optional)
set up a wall for notes, discussion, photo exhibition (optional)

Specify the name of the group, press the “Create” button

define and set the type of group: open or closed. To do this, use the “Access: closed” item, press the “Save”
group creation is complete

Define the type of group, press the “Save” button

Where to look

In this drop-down menu you can select the databases in which the search will take place.

“Everywhere” is a familiar collection that has worked in this tool before. That is, key queries entered into the tool are searched not only in our collected database, but also real-time data is obtained using the API from VK

Important : TX looks for the entered key exclusively in the name of the community, while the search from VK finds keywords in the name, status, description and address.

Why are we clarifying this? So that users who open the task result are not surprised that the names of some communities do not contain the entered phrases.

“Only VKontakte” is a request from the service via API in real time. You need to be prepared for the fact that there will be little data. One key gives you the opportunity to get a maximum of 3k communities (1k for each type - publics, groups, events). This is a technical limitation that cannot be circumvented. Plus, you need to understand that using this method you will get communities where the keys are not only in the name, but also in the status, description, and address. Not all community administrators carefully monitor the content, so garbage may also end up in the collection, please review the list carefully

“Only in TargetHunter” - a collection of communities based on the internal technical database (updated every 3–4 days). Remember, the keyword will only be found in the names of the communities, and the number of collected communities will not be equal to the number of the same communities in VK

A universal recommendation is to use different search methods, then save everything in one cloud list (this way you will remove possible repetitions) and work further with this data array.

Here's what searching for a community using key phrases in the title might look like.

Search for a community using a key phrase in the name

Think about what additional settings for searching for communities you need to set in your project.

Recruiting friends

If you are wondering whether it is possible to make a group call on VK in a group conversation, we will make you happy again - it is possible. The developers gave us this opportunity in the spring of 2021. In the group conversation window, just find the handset icon. Next, you just need to add those with whom you want to communicate and discuss business matters. We answer the question right away - you can add new interlocutors during a conversation. However, a maximum of 8 people can participate in a video call at the same time. But always remember, if you want to call someone personally, you don’t have to join a group conversation. To do this, leave the group chat and open an individual one with the person you need.

It is likely that group calls on our favorite social network will expand their capabilities very soon. Developers always keep up with the times and try to meet the highest expectations of their users. We recommend being patient and not trusting unreliable instructions from dubious sites.

By the way, communication in VK calls is simply excellent, and besides, the developers guarantee complete security of the transmitted information. Well, what’s doubly nice is that the option is provided to all registered users absolutely free of charge!

Key phrase in status

The status of communities and users was originally planned to provide important and relevant news. For example, about sales or opening hours on holidays.

Nowadays you can often see keywords in the status that are not in the name of the community.

Keyword in community status

Look, from the name of this community it is generally impossible to understand what it is dedicated to. And here the status saves us: we immediately see that this is a private riding school.

Let's figure out how to look for such communities.

Open the Search tab > Communities > Status

Searching for communities with a keyword in the status is similar to searching for a community by name. We also include keywords or phrases to search for (one per new line).

If we have already worked in this niche, we can know the negative keywords. In this case, they can be immediately written down one at a time on a new line.

If we are not yet familiar with the niche, we leave this field blank. In post-filtering mode, when we find communities, we can go through and set negative keywords if they are found.

We determine the size of the community based on our further tasks. We remember that by setting the geo settings in the parser, we will automatically lose the public pages.

This is what searching for a community using key phrases in the status might look like.

Search for a community by keyword in status

Choose only those settings that will help you find possible communities as much as possible.

What to interest in the VKontakte group

In order for your resource to function properly and make a profit, you need visitors. In addition to the fact that people need to be somehow attracted to the community, they also need to be kept in it. Public pages with inflated subscribers, in which there is no activity, are useless, since in most cases users do not even know that they are members of some resource or are not interested in it. Let's see what ways you can use to spice up your project.

Publishing high-quality posts with bright and beautiful images.
Periodic placement of promotions, quizzes, and drawings with real prizes for the winners.
Appeals to users to support dialogue, involving participants in disputes.
Professional community design.
Regular posting.
Commenting on behalf of the group. Users should see admin activity.

After reading the article, you understood what a VK group is and how to distinguish it from a public page. Justify your choice based on what exactly you are going to promote on the resource. Having answered the question why you need a VK group, start creating it, and the variety of functions and huge audience reach will allow you to quickly promote almost any project.

Key phrase in description

Communities have an Information , where you can write in detail what you do, your working hours, or something else important. This is another place to find keywords that identify community activities.

Keyword in community description

Stories in either the title or status . It can only be found in the description (section Information ). It is from here that we find out what kind of magazine it is.

Let's figure out how to find communities based on this criterion.

To work, go to the Search tab > Communities > Description

The search algorithm is similar:

Enter keywords one on each line
If we know negative keywords , we also enter one at a time
Choosing the community size
type unless there is a special task
We do not display geo

Here's what searching for a community using key phrases in the description might look like.

Search for communities by keyword in the description

As a result, we found communities in three different ways.

Thus, we collected the maximum possible number of communities. Note that very few people search by status and description; everyone searches by name as standard. So you now have an advantage.

The following service for viewing statistics of VKontakte groups (only your own)

This is the service socialstats.ru (currently not working). Quite an old service, but it has useful functionality. You can scan (groups where you are an administrator): page/group wall, photo albums, popular groups among your friends.

I especially like the ability to analyze the active core of the group (the most active users). What can be useful in various competitions.

Rating of communities among friends

Another interesting functionality is “Rating of communities among friends.” The most popular communities among friends are displayed here:

Unfortunately, you can only watch and analyze your friends . Yes, and statistics of groups only in which you are in administrator status .

Results

What to do with the found communities? It all depends on further tasks.

Operations that can be done:

Merge bases using Tools > Base Crossing > Communities (select merge)
Filter using Tool > Community Filter (the more carefully you approach the filtering issue, the more valuable the database becomes)
Gather participants using Gather > Participants
Collect admins to add them to the exception using Collect > Community Contacts (more details)
Save links to communities and add them to the RK in the Community Subscribers or Activity in Communities (we first check how alive the community is)

The meaning of the VK network

The meaning of the existence of the VK is to search for friends, acquaintances, classmates, classmates, colleagues, employees, create groups based on interests, for work, for commercial issues. A user registers on the VK , how to do it

we described in our article here.

The user finds friends at his place of study or work, chats in real time, leaves posts on his wall, registers groups, inviting friends there. Registration allows the user to receive the following benefits:

your own account, with the ability to add brief or extended information about yourself
use of the network search database, the ability to enter the pages of registered users
ability to watch videos, music programs, computer games online
participation in groups, communities of interest or business

Aspects of creating a successful business group

Let's imagine several conditions for successful promotion of a group on the Internet:

group name: laconic, simple, essential
description: specific services, service, motivation for applying specifically to this group, contacts, period of work
photography: clear, interesting, designer, reflecting the essence of the business
discussion links
contacts. Indicated by each photo, album.
Links to the site are preferred.
surveys, seminars, discussions, promotions. Events are recommended several times a week
photographs of goods and services indicating prices and contacts
reviews from users, clients
conditions for purchasing goods: form of payment, delivery, exchange, etc.

We hope our tips will help you make your online business successful and profitable!
