The topic to investigate

  1. Example question

    After the headphones launch, which issues do the press and customers report?

  2. What you read

    The detail view distinguishes a personal account from an original article and a reprint of the same story. Available sources help trace its origin and updates.

  3. The next step

    Open the sources for the topic, check the issue and assign a task with an owner to the team.

Volume alone does not measure reputation or trust. Original articles and reprints of the same story must be distinguished before comparison.

What you get

Your brand, in the right context.

Set the brand name, domain and variants. Review collected mentions, exclude namesakes and identify copies of the same content: the detail view lets you trace the source.

From name to relevant mention
  1. Identify the subject

    Compare the name, aliases, domain and context with the identity of the brand being researched.

  2. Separate repetitions

    Distinguish a new experience from a copy or reprint of content already collected.

  3. Review uncertainty

    Keep doubtful attributions and the reasons for decisions identifiable before including them in the analysis.

What you get

From frequency to meaning.

More conversations about support may reveal a recurring question to clarify on your website. Filter by period and topic, read examples and assign a check to the relevant team. Collection depends on contracted source coverage.

Brand identity

Your name. The right context.

A company, product and everyday term may share a name. Useful monitoring starts by separating what actually concerns your brand from references to similarly named subjects.

The official domain, aliases, product names and market help qualify observations. A brief mention may require reading the conversation or full article, where available and permitted. Uncertain cases should remain separate from confirmed results: adding them to the total to increase coverage would make topics and comparisons less reliable.

Identity

The name, domain and aliases define the subject before collection.

Relevance

Product, language and context help identify correct references.

Review

Uncertain attributions remain open to verification rather than becoming automatic confirmations.

Connected channels

Follow the story to its source.

When news about your brand appears in several items, use the title, URL and date to trace the original. Then read the available reposts: you can identify the information still circulating and decide whether a correction or communication update is needed.

Manually compare the passage about your brand and any updates. If an AI answer also cites that article, open the relevant observation to check what is repeated. Active sources determine which materials can be consulted; a complete dissemination path is not reconstructed automatically.

Information context
  1. Original source
  2. News republications
  3. Citations in AI answers

Team priorities

From signals to useful questions.

A spike in mentions opens an investigation: does it concern a launch, a service problem or news affecting the category? The answer determines who needs to act and with what objective.

Your team can examine the topics, products and sources contributing to the change, comparing them with a consistent period. Evidence helps prepare a proposal: clarify information, investigate a support difficulty or examine an article. Collection remains subject to authorised channels; an uncovered area must not appear to have no conversations.
