Monitor your social media presence with Google Alerts

When you launch your social media campaign you will want to monitor and measure its effectiveness. An easy, free way to do that is with Google Alerts.

What are Google Alerts?

Google Alerts are emails sent to you when Google finds new results — such as web pages, newspaper articles, or blogs — that match your search term. You can use Google Alerts to monitor anything on the Web. For example, you could use Google Alerts to:

  • find out what is being said about you, your company or your product
  • monitor a developing news story that may impact your business
  • keep up to date on a competitor or industry

Here’s how it works:

  1. You enter a query ( keywords, search terms)  that you’re interested in.
  2. Google Alerts checks regularly to see if there are new results for your query.
  3. If there are new results, Google Alerts sends them to you in an email.
