About Google Alerts

You can get emails when new results for a topic show up in Google Search. For example, you can get info about news, products, or mentions of your name. In the box at the top, enter a topic you want to follow. You can specify how often you get notifications, and what types of sites you want to be notified about. You can also specify the language and region you are interested in, as well as how many results you want to see. Google Alerts is a very effective and free media monitoring tool.

Brandchirps
The reliable, cost-efficient, and simple brand monitoring software you’ve been looking for. Brandchirps is a small company building software trying to help others scour the web for recent or updated mentions of keywords they want to monitor and track. These could be your brand, a competitor’s brand, or just any term that interest you. Think of us as a brand monitoring service. We find these mentions with our software and provide you the results so you can improve your bottom line. I wanted software that could reliably and completely scan the internet for mentions of my company’s brand name so I could react to both positive and negative news and conversations quickly. Later, I learned to do the same for my competitor’s brand names to jump in and promote my brand based on their conversations. Basically, this was “competitor brand analysis“. Currently, I track mentions of keywords in my industry to further expose my brand to even more potential customers.

    "Saves my time"

    Edited 2021-11-23

    Pros: I have benefited from Google Alerts because it saves me the time from having to check manually the keyword results that apply to my client's pages. Allows me to have confidence in what information is out there and how it may affect new customers getting to my client's websites.

    Cons: Sometimes the results aren't as specific as I would prefer, but in general covers all the bases I need.

    Overall: I am unable to tell or be notified by Google Alerts if my client's keywords are being searched organically by others.
