Mention

Mention monitors the web and social platforms for brand mentions and delivers real-time alerts and competitive intelligence.

Overview

Mention keeps tabs on your brand, competitors, and industry keywords across millions of sources including social media, news, forums, and review sites. Real-time alerts keep teams informed, while AI summaries digest noisy mention streams into actionable insights. Its competitive analysis shows share of voice against rivals, and built-in publishing lets social teams respond without switching tools.

Mention’s alert system is its backbone: choose sources, languages, and influence thresholds, and the platform pushes notifications through email, Slack, or mobile. The built-in publisher lets social teams respond and post from the same workspace where they monitor.
