For instance, Google Alerts is a free tool that allows users to set up alerts for specific keywords or phrases and sends email notifications when these keywords are mentioned online. Similarly, Mention is a paid tool that offers more features than Google Alerts, such as the ability to track mentions across multiple social media platforms, forums, and blogs. It also provides sentiment analysis, so you can see how people are feeling about a brand.

Companies are realizing the importance of maintaining a positive brand image. Media monitoring tools help them track mentions, assess sentiment, and respond promptly to both positive and negative discussions. Citing an instance, Starbucks used media monitoring tools to track mentions of its brand on social media after it closed its stores in 8,000 cities in the US for racial bias training in June 2020. The company used the data to identify and address negative sentiment and to amplify positive stories about its commitment to racial equity.

However, determining sentiment accurately from text and understanding the context in which content is mentioned can be complex for automated tools. Misinterpretations can lead to inaccurate insights and decisions, making it crucial for these tools to continuously improve their natural language processing capabilities, impacting their adoption rate. Besides, increasing concerns over data privacy and regulations such as GDPR and CCPA have put pressure on media monitoring tools to ensure that the data they collect and analyze is done so in a compliant manner. Stricter regulations can impact the scope and depth of data collection, affecting the capabilities of these tools.
