Book a call." lang: en --- • MEDIA MONITORING # Media Monitoring Catch the articles naming your company while you can still turn them into links, replies and stronger visibility. Find and act on the articles, listings and conversations already naming your brand. We monitor mentions, qualify what matters, request links where they make sense and flag anything that needs a fast response.

Knowing what to do with one is the job. Brand mention work is only useful when someone acts on the alert. We set up the monitoring, filter the noise, review the mentions that matter and turn each one into a clear next step: request a link, correct the claim, reply or track the trend.

(06) ### • Tracking every name that matters Company name, products, executives, former trading names and the misspellings people actually type, watched across news, blogs, review platforms and public forums. ### • Turning unlinked mentions into links When a relevant article names your business without linking, we pick the destination page that genuinely helps the reader and ask the publisher for one specific edit, while the piece is still recent enough to change. ### • Watching your industry, not just your name We run news monitoring across the publications, topics and competitors shaping your category, so your team sees what is worth reacting to without wading through the rest. ### • Share-of-voice measurement Your mention volume against a fixed competitor set, on a fixed source list, over a fixed window, so the number means the same thing in March as it did in January. ### • AI answer visibility We run a fixed set of questions through the major AI search tools, record where your brand appears and note which third-party sources those answers lean on, so changes can be tracked rather than guessed. ### • Escalation and ownership We agree in advance what needs a human response and who that is. Link opportunities, negative coverage and high-value mentions go to a named person, not a shared inbox that gets missed. See our process • • Problems ## Why monitoring programs stop being useful A tool can return thousands of results and still leave your team unsure what deserves attention. We turn brand mentions into a short list of actions. Get my mention sweep • 01 ### Thousands of alerts, almost no signal A bare company-name alert returns every page that happens to contain the same word. We tighten the search with exclusions, context terms and source rules until the feed is short enough for your team to actually read. 02 ### You find the important article months late A link request is easiest while the piece is fresh and the editor is still willing to make a small edit. Once it has aged out of the newsroom's attention, the same request becomes a favor rather than a correction. 03 ### Your brand name means something else If your company shares a name with a place, a product or a common phrase, generic tracking returns noise forever. We build the query around the context that identifies your business, not the word itself. 04 ### Mentions get counted but never worked Knowing a publication named you does not create the link. We write to the editor, point at the sentence and explain why the change helps their reader. That work is the deliverable here. 05 ### Forums and communities are missing entirely Buyers do not only talk in news articles. Where the content is public we include forums, review platforms and the other places a purchase gets argued out, because those pages influence search results and AI answers. 06 ### Share of voice moves because the method moved A competitor gets added in month four, a new source is switched on halfway through the quarter, and the line on the chart jumps. The trend becomes impossible to trust because what the first month counted was never written down. • Brand monitoring process ## Our Media Monitoring Process (06) Phase 01 Phase 1 ### Engineer the queries We map brand names, products, executives, misspellings and the context terms separating your company from everything else sharing the word, then test the query on real results before it goes live. Phase 02 Phase 2 ### Run a historical baseline A backward sweep shows where you are already named, how many of those pages carry a link, and how your volume compares with the competitor set. Everything later is measured against it. Phase 03 Phase 3 ### Write the routing rules We define what counts as noise, what becomes a link opportunity and what needs a same-day response, then attach a named owner to each so nothing waits for a volunteer. Phase 04 Phase 4 ### Build the reclamation queue Unlinked brand mentions are ordered by relevance, recency and page strength, then worked from the top in small batches rather than sent out all at once, because the article published this month is the one an editor will still open. Phase 05 Phase 5 ### Work new mentions as they land Fresh opportunities enter the queue continuously. Replies, refusals and each outlet's linking behavior are recorded, so the next approach starts with what already happened. Phase 06 Phase 6 ### Report the movement each month Volume, share of voice, links requested against links earned, and any change in how AI tools answer questions about your category where that is in scope. Get started • • Demand ### Find the conversation while you can still change it. The mention exists whether or not anyone on your team sees it. It converts activity already happening into something you can act on: an article becomes a backlink, a wrong claim gets corrected before it spreads, and a competitor being quoted tells you which story to pitch next. • Articles found while an editor will still amend them • Unlinked mentions moved into an active queue • Share of voice measured the same way every month • High-value coverage routed to a named owner • What survives ### The record you build stays yours after we stop working on it. The query specification, the mention archive, the notes on which outlets link and the history of what was asked and answered all belong to you. If the tool or the agency changes later, the next team does not start again from an empty dashboard. What stops is the finding, not the intelligence already gathered. • Query specification and exclusions documented • Mention archive retained and exportable • Outlet linking behavior on the record • Reclaimed links keep working afterwards 2,500+ businesses served ## Media Monitoring Reviews > “I refer all my clients to Suff Digital whenever they need website or SEO needs.

If the tool you already pay for covers the sources you need and gives us usable exports, we build the process on top of it. The queries and the routing matter more than the logo on the dashboard." } } ] } ] } ] ```
