Mention Reviews

Mention is a great tool for a Marketing department to catch critical mentions of your brand across the internet. However, it is also a great tool for Customer Service or whoever is managing your Social Media accounts. I found that Mention helped me most by finding customer complaints that were lost within strange forums, websites or even simply missed on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feeds.

Mention is being used to track business mentions for our company. It is mostly used to find remarks on the web that are not linked back to our website. This allows our company to contact websites mentioning our brand and asking them for a link. Mention automates the tedious task of manually searching for places where our company is being mentioned but not linked to, saving me and my team hours and hours of work. The links we acquire using Mention also help us improve dramatically in search engine rankings, increasing our organic traffic.

The Blogsmith uses Mention to determine where the brand is being talked about online, especially unlinked mentions. It's useful for getting an alert when an interview goes live, finding people who are republishing my content without permission, and learning about article mentions I wouldn't otherwise know about.

Mention has been an on again, off again service we have used either on behalf of the agency or agency clients. I thought after a year or so away that I would find the product more up to date but it feels like in the recent trial that the product hasn't changed that much after a hiatus from using it. In general Mention provides a nice way to capture social activity, but at the end of the day, I am finding, especially with Twitter, that the Twitter UI is faster for me to find what I'm looking for and to see how things are playing out with retweets, comments and more.

I currently use Mention to monitor keywords in social media both for myself and the institution. It's used primarily by me, the director of integrated marketing. Using Mention I'm able to track multiple keywords plus combinations of keywords as they are used across social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Our marketing department uses Mention for social listening across the web, including social media.

Mention is being used primarily to monitor the web and social channels for any coverage of our brand. It helps us know who is talking about us so that we can join the conversation in real time. It is a crucial part of our PR strategy to be able to know the voice of our customers across the Internet and participate when relevant.

I use it personally and relay the information to those in my department. We use it to track our activity on social and gauge our marketing efforts. On a personal level, it's easier than sorting through mentions in singular apps.

We use Mention to be aware of what people around the internet are saying about us.

Currently, Mention is being used only by the Marketing department and honestly, only by myself! I manage all the SEO and social media projects in the department and find that I'm generally the only person that uses Mention daily. I use Mention for two specific tasks. First, I use it all the time to monitor social mentions that do not explicitly tag our company. This helps me keep track of potential issues, sale leads, and more in one easy to monitor software. The second major task I use the software for is SEO link building. In particular, I use Mention to find unlinked brand mentions. Using Mention I have been able to find and obtain many backlinks for the company and occasionally, ask for our company name to be removed from a site we do not wish to be associated with. With my busy schedule, I honestly couldn't succeed in these tasks if I didn't have Mention!

I've used Mention since the early days and they've really come a long way. They're such a great alternative to the insanely expensive guys who do social media monitoring. The enterprise guys will charge 6 figures (at least) and they certainly give a lot, but Mention is a lightweight solution that has pricing listed on their site and will really get you where you need to go if you're trying to monitor your own and competitor social channels and mentions.

Mention is used by the marketing department as a social listening tool.

It solves a few business problems for us:

• It lets us track what people say about our brand and our competitors on social media.
• We can easily find people who talk about subjects of interest to us.
• Mention ranks 'influencers' for those topics of interest. We then reach out to those influencers to share our content with them.

Just like it sounds, mention helps us keep track of mentions in social media and blog posts. Whenever someone tweets a post of ours or links to un in a blog post, we get those notifications delivered to our inbox. It's used by our marketing and it helps us keep track of PR

I use Mention to monitor mentions of my company on social media. We are a small company, so I am the only one that uses it. I get daily emails that show our top mentions of the day with links to each of them. I can also go to the Mention website and see ALL of the mentions, rather than just the top few. I often find Tweets, Instagram, and Facebook posts that mention my company, HeidiSongs.com, where I sell educational music and video collections for young children. I am then able to repost these and thank the poster! Occasionally, I have found some complaints that I have been able to handle immediately, so that I can do some instant damage control to protect my brand online. I find this to be an invaluable tool, and I only have used the free service!
I have recommended Mention to many of my friends that are in business, and they have ALL started using it- and love it! Mention is one of the best kept secrets for the small business owner on that uses social media marketing!

An Invaluable Tool Long Overdue For Small Businesses

Mention is used to gauge the interaction and quality of our social media content. We use the data to improve our content and gain insight into what our audience likes or dislikes. Seeing the click-through rate of our material helps with developing exciting content our followers will more likely be interested in reading. It also helps to know the effectiveness and reach our content gets once posted and the organic reach of older material. The data acquired when using mentions has proven to be an asset to our company. The features provided help us get an idea of what improvements are needed or may improve the engagement of our posts and impression on our audience. Without some of the features available, we would be spending countless dollars trying to keep track of all the details of running content campaigns. Having a small company on a limited budget, it helps to have mentioned as a tool that replaces the lack of employee power.

We actively use Mention to track how people across social media are interacting with our brand. Mention allows me to see when others have shared one of our articles or social media posts, as well as any tags or mentions of our brand online. While it is only within my Customer Service department that we use Mention, it is extremely useful for receiving fast notifications of mentions of our brand. That way we can choose to interact socially when it's happening or nip any complaints in the bud before they can impact too many people.

We use Mention within our marketing department. We have started when the company was very young and we wanted to know who and where mentioned us (without constantly Googling the brand's name). By now, we've grown and got our SEO specialist who monitors the mentions and links to us as well, but Mention is still a useful thing.

We use Mention to track real-time mentions of our company, products, and competitors. Our marketing team and company has access to Mention data through a Zapier integration to a Clack channel. We are a lean team, so this gives us the ability to all take ownership of our brand without additional effort. Mention is a great way to gain 360-degree visibility into what's being said about your brand.

I receive an email notification of mentions each day until I reach my quota for the month. It helps me catch comments/questions on social media that I would otherwise miss.

We use Mention as an additional component to other online monitoring services. Key words are monitored for mentions on blogs, forums and online news sites.
