Congratulations on the beautiful work! Some doubts: real-time alert only works in the agency account? Besides, what does campaign mean (would it be the same as a word)?
Razvan Gavrilas
@luffrj a campaign is a brand. a brand is defined by up to 5 keywords. for example: Campaign cognitiveSEO Keywords tracked: cognitiveseo cognitive seo seo cognitive seocognitive There is also a Quick Research Tool that allows you to just search (like in Google let's say) for individual keywords. That is real-time. We send daily alerts on the Growth Business Account. You can also specify the hour when to receive the alert. Also we have a tracking pixel that you add on your site and we monitor your traffic for new links. Those are sent in real-time when we detect them in the traffic.

Just signed up for the trial, and already finding it very useful. Just realised how inefficient Google Alerts is :) Congrats on the launch! πŸŽ‰
Razvan Gavrilas
@jijosunny tks. setup your tracking pixel so you can catch new links in real time ;)
Jijo Sunny
@razvan_gavrilas That's a neat idea. BTW do you have any offers for PH users? I'm interested in the second paid plan.
Razvan Gavrilas
@jijosunny we have the extended trial for the PH fans. but send me a mail now to support@brandmentions.com and I'll offer you something super cool for being so determined and wanting to upgrade.

It reminds me of the uberVU - another startup done by some cool romanian dudes. Congrats on the launch!
Razvan Gavrilas
@alincatalin tks for the comment and appreciation. UberVU (let's see if they monitor their own brand mentions and jump in) is on the enterprise side. We are on the SMB/Company side. We offer an affordable product for this market. There are other tools doing brand monitoring. Below is a short explanation about why BM was created and how I think it's a bit better than other alternatives: BrandMentions was designed to deliver much better results. It has more extensive coverage than other available services. By performing global monitoring, it saves lots of time and delivers a quick snapshot of all critical data. This feedback was given to us by most of our early-adopters (over 10k people). From a feature perspective here are some of the innovative things that we added to this full-stack brand monitoring tool: - we monitor your website traffic to deliver instant new links notifications (via a tracking pixel that you add on your site) - we provide a Quick Mention Research Tool that allows you to instantly view the mentions for any keyword that you type in, for the last 30 days; we provide smart filtering and detection for brands that use generic words (for example Orange, Majestic, etc.); - we provide in-depth analytics and filters; - plus all the juicy stuff like alerts, reports, sentiment analysis, historical mention recording and much more. Sure enterprise tool have much more charts and whistles ... but that makes them more complicated for our target audience. hope it makes sense.

@razvan_gavrilas Great work Razvan!

It worked wonders on social. Curious if it offers mentions from YouTube as well in this final version.

Pros:

I am having a small business (a cooking blog) and I've been using BrandMentions in their beta version for a couple of months.

Cons:

no cons right now

Razvan Gavrilas
tks for the review Georgiana ;)

This product does a good job at what it does but with the launch of the new version it's priced itself out as an option in my opinion. It's prior version did essentially the same without the bells and whistles. The addition of the bells and whistles doesn't justify the current price point.

Pros:

Provides consistent and complete search results

Cons:

Too Expensive

Amir Kendic
Does exactly as promised 😊
Razvan Gavrilas
to be able to provide those complete search results we have a lot of stuff behind the scenes. lots of crawlers and datasources. all of them cost lots. being able deliver as much as we do costs. even though those costs are invisible to you as a user. we do have a special offer for early adopters in the next 48hrs only (that is 40% OFF). let me know if you are interested.
Holy Moley
Totally agree with this. Yes, it does provide fairly good results (it often actually does NOT... so not all the results you get back contain the words you search for). So for what you get.. it's too expensive. If only 1/50 is usable, why would you want to pay the current (new) price? I mean, there are alternatives out there, so... I have to agree with David here that they'll price themselves out of the market.
Pawel Kadysz
All very nice... Now go to Google Analytics and check how many people view your website on a 13" screen. Congratulations. You're losing 100% of them: https://v.usetapes.com/KgLwyCHzyu
Razvan Gavrilas
@pawelkadysz ups. working on fixing that now. no launch is perfect. there is a saying that if it was you waited too much to launch :) tks man. fixing it.
Pawel Kadysz
@razvan_gavrilas I'm glad I could help ;)
Razvan Gavrilas
@pawelkadysz this was fixed. please check with a hard refresh. tks
William Woodhead
This looks super useful for a young company to track reach. Great product!
Rahul Ramchand
Hi @razvan_gavrilas! We use Brand24 and would love to know why we should shift to Brandmentions! Cheers!
Razvan Gavrilas
@rahulr047 I’ll try to underline some of the differences below: - We provide near real-time, daily or weekly e-mail alerts for mentions that appear on the web and on social. We have an mention engine that we carefully fine tune to eliminate most of the junk mentions. This is something that differentiates us greatly vs other tools. We report the mention that matter so we don’t flood you. - We monitor your website traffic (via a tracking pixel that you add on your site) and deliver instant new link notifications. This is really cool in my opinion. - We provide a Quick Mention Research Tool that allows you to instantly view the mentions for any keyword that you type in, for the last 30 days. Another cool feature that we offer in our package that you won’t find in any other tool. - We provide smart filtering and detection for brands that use common words (Orange, Majestic, etc).this may exist in other tools. - We provide in-depth filters and analytics. Lots of filters.
Razvan Gavrilas
@rahulr047 Probably the most in any other tool. - Plus all the juicy stuff like: reports, sentiment analysis and historical mention recording and more. These may be common. You ahould try it and see for yourself. Let me know your feedback.
Rahul Ramchand
@razvan_gavrilas Looks awesome. Probably better. No Slack integration?
Rahul Ramchand
@razvan_gavrilas Much more expensive though :(
Razvan Gavrilas
@rahulr047 slack and zapier are coming soon. I would not say it is more expensive. Check the pricing on both. Seems to me BM is more affordable.
