Free Tools for Monitoring Your Brand's Reputation Online

Monitor Your Brand Reputation

Now that you’ve done all of this work to build a positive reputation for your brand, you will want to keep an eye out on any news about you or your business. The easiest (and free) way to do this is through Google Alerts. Google Alerts lets you set up searches for your name or your brand name and sends you emails when new results come up. Other sites that provide similar services include Social Mention (free), Trackur (paid), and Reputation.com (paid).

Google Alerts : 

Google Alerts is one of the most convenient and easy to step up tools to monitor your brand reputation. Go to google.com/alerts and fill out the search form with your company name. You have the option of filtering what type of media results you would like, how often you would like to be updated with your results and so on. Now every time your brand is mentioned online, Google will alert you!

TweetBeep

TweetBeep works very similar to Google Alerts, except it monitors your brand reputation solely on Twitter. You can get a free version of this service which gives you an hourly update every time you are mentioned on Twitter. Tweetbeep analyzes Twitter replies, mentions and links for any possible mention of your company. For a more in-depth analysis, Tweetbeep does offer a premium version of this service at a small monthly fee- but we think the free version works pretty well as is!

Social Mention

Social Mention can be a particularly helpful tool, as it uses data from a vast network of online sources. Once you give Social Mention your brand name, it creates a list of mentions and ranks them as positive, negative or neutral. Due to the fact this platform pulls data from so many sources, the only potential downfall with Social Mention is non-relevant are sometimes listed in your search. However, for such an extensive and helpful tool to be free, we’ll take it!

4. MonitorThis

Last but not least, MonitorThis tracks keyword (in this case, your company name) mentions on over 20 different search engines. Plus, you can set up MonitorThis results to important directly into your feed reader. MonitorThis is fast, free and easy!

Automated Reverse Image Search imageraider.com

Image Raider is an automated reverse-image search tool – spend a few minutes adding your photo or image catalogue, and we’ll let you know when we find any other websites using them.

Monitor blogs

Keep up to date with the latest relevant blog posts and comments with tools like BackType Blog Comments, BlogPulse and Technorati.  You can also run comprehensive searches by using Google Blog Search.  Monitoring blog posts and comments will give you some real insight as far as customer opinion is concerned.  A quick response to any negative feedback is largely dependent on finding that negative post within a reasonable time frame.

Work Stress – Causes Costs, Effects And Remedies

New Capabilities of Adobe Marketing Cloud Include

Touch Interface

Tablets have become mainstream in the enterprise, boosting efficiency as employees do critical parts of their jobs on the go. Adobe Marketing Cloud has been redesigned to reflect this trend, becoming a touch-based, mobile-first platform.
Adobe Marketing Cloud Cards Using a share dialog feature, content or data in any Adobe Marketing Cloud solution can be turned into a sharable “card.” This collaboration feature also allows marketers to leave annotations and comments on cards, so that everybody working on the campaign is on the same page.

Adobe Marketing Cloud Feed
The feed is an aggregation of shared cards. It provides each marketer with an at-a-glance view of everything in Adobe Marketing Cloud that is relevant to them. The feed helps marketers and their teams stay up to date.

Adobe Marketing Cloud Boards
Users can create a board to collect and curate cards. Like cards, boards can be shared and commented on. Boards give a marketing team a common base for discussion and improve coordination of activities in Adobe Marketing Cloud.

Unified Login
The Adobe Marketing Cloud now provides a common access point for solutions allowing customers to access, navigate, and collaborate between and across user experiences.

Integrated Digital Asset Management (coming soon)
The integrated DAM system will store, manage and share assets across all Adobe Marketing Cloud solutions. Marketers will be able to search, find, edit, annotate and upload assets and organize assets by folder and campaign, and it will include full metadata support.

Campaign Setup Wizard (coming soon)
Marketers will be able to quickly create a campaign, specifying campaign title, team and asset repository. If Adobe Creative Cloud users are invited, their Creative Cloud account will be synchronized automatically with the campaign's Digital Asset Management folder. Automatic synchronizations and integrated sharing, commenting and annotations mean that marketers will always be up to date with their creative team and that assets don’t get lost in transfer.

Customer Quotes
“The new UI for Adobe Marketing Cloud eliminates the sluggish complexity of surfacing and sharing key insights, drilling down to understand what’s going on and deciding on the right course of action,” said Adam Allamar, VP of Marketing, Barclaycard US. “I’m excited that my teams can now use Adobe Marketing Cloud to better connect and collaborate.”

“Because we have a large number of teams involved in the production of our websites and digital magazines, we need a better way to communicate key data and insights to people who are not digital analysts,” said Christopher Reynolds, vice president, marketing analytics, Conde Nast. “The new visualization, sharing and collaboration features within Adobe Marketing Cloud elegantly solve this challenge. No one on my team is going to miss static charts and lengthy email chains.”

Availability
The integrated digital asset manager and campaign setup wizard are expected to be available in the coming months. All other new functionality in Adobe Marketing Cloud is currently available in beta.
