Also known as: Brand monitoring, Mention tracking
Continuously tracking when and how a brand name is mentioned online — on social media, in blogs, on forums, or in reviews — so the brand can respond or spot trends.
For agencies, mention monitoring matters because clients expect an agency to know what's being said about them, even when they aren't tagged. Mention monitoring catches: (1) tagged mentions (easy — they arrive via notifications), (2) untagged mentions (harder — they require text search), (3) misspellings of the brand name.
Classic monitoring tools: Brand24, Mention, Hootsuite Insights. Many social media management platforms have basic monitoring built in. For deeper sentiment analysis (positive/negative/neutral) and share-of-voice measurement, a specialized tool is needed.
An agency's client sells organic cosmetics. Someone writes a blog post that mentions their product positively — without a tag. Mention monitoring catches this within 24 hours; the agency shares the mention with the client, posts a comment on the blog, and repurposes the quote in an Instagram post.
