Step-by-step workflow (5 steps, ~165 credits)

1
Search for brand mentions in content

Find web pages and articles mentioning your brand name.

What to look for

  • ✓Volume of mentions — more mentions generally means stronger brand awareness
  • ✓Mention sources — news sites carry more weight than forum posts
  • ✓Negative mentions — flag for response or PR action
2
Analyze brand sentiment

Get sentiment analysis for content mentioning your brand.

What to look for

  • ✓Overall sentiment ratio — healthy brands have 70%+ positive mentions
  • ✓Negative sentiment spikes — investigate the specific sources causing negativity
  • ✓Neutral sentiment — often means brand lacks differentiation

Decision point

If overall sentiment is below 50% positive, prioritize identifying and addressing the negative content sources before any marketing campaign.

3
Track brand mention trends over time

See how mention volume for your brand has changed over time.

What to look for

  • ✓Upward trend — healthy brand growth and increasing awareness
  • ✓Sudden spikes — correlate with press coverage, viral content, or incidents
  • ✓Declining trends — may indicate fading relevance or competitors capturing mindshare
4
Check Google Business Profile reviews

Pull Google reviews for your business.

What to look for

  • ✓Average rating — below 4.0 stars is a serious issue for customer acquisition
  • ✓Review velocity — consistent new reviews (2+/month) signal an active, healthy business
  • ✓Recurring complaint themes — patterns indicate systemic issues to fix
5
Analyze rating distribution across content

Get the distribution of ratings across all web content mentioning your brand.

What to look for

  • ✓Polarized distribution (many 1-star and 5-star, few in between) — indicates controversial product

  • ✓Heavy concentration at 1-2 stars — reputation crisis requiring immediate action
