6 SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING TOOLS TO TRACK YOUR BRAND

Social Mention

• Social Mention is an excellent way to learn about brand mentions and interactions in an easy-to-digest visual format.

• Type in the name and click Search to see the links to your mentions. Sort by timeframe or source.

Mention

• Mention is one of the newer tools that replaced Google Alerts. (Google Alerts would send emails notifying you whenever a keyword or phrase you specified was cited online.)

Talkwalker

• Talkwalker gives you brand mentions over time, as well as the sources where these mentions occur.

– Tracks performance of the brand mention, the engagement levels, influencers talking about your brand (this includes websites, as well as social media).

Topsy

• Topsy is a search engine that lets you monitor brand mentions across the web, with a focus on social insights from top conversations online. Topsy’s database is in real time, and it measures sentiment and provides analytics.

Hootsuite

• Perhaps the easiest and most common brand-conversation monitor is Hootsuite. It helps you keep on top of chatter in real time on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

PinAlerts

• PinAlerts is more of a Pinterest alert system than a traditional brand monitoring platform. It monitors links to pins from your website, and notifies you via email when someone pins from your site.
