What is Brand Monitoring?
Brand monitoring is the process of tracking mentions, sentiment, and conversations about your brand across digital channels including social media, review sites, news outlets, blogs, and forums. It enables businesses to protect brand reputation, respond to customer feedback, detect counterfeit products, and understand public perception. Effective brand monitoring at scale requires proxy infrastructure to access geo-restricted content and avoid platform rate limits.

Configure notifications for negative mentions, spikes in activity, or specific keywords to respond quickly.
03
Track competitor brands
Monitor competitor mentions alongside your own. Understand market perception and identify opportunities.

Analyze sentiment trends
Track sentiment over time, not just individual mentions. Identify patterns and measure campaign impact.

Monitor regional variations
Brand perception varies by region. Use geo-targeted monitoring to understand local sentiment.

Include misspellings
Track common misspellings and variations of your brand name to capture all relevant mentions.
