Mention is a versatile tool that serves various use cases across different departments. For the Marketing team, it is an essential tool for monitoring social media mentions that are not explicitly tagged to their company, enabling them to keep track of potential issues and sales leads. Additionally, Mention is used for SEO link building, helping businesses find unlinked brand mentions and obtain valuable backlinks.

Customer Service teams also benefit from Mention as it helps them catch critical mentions of the brand across the internet, whether they are customer complaints lost in obscure forums or missed on social media feeds. This empowers them to address complaints promptly and engage with customers more effectively. Moreover, small business owners find Mention useful for social media marketing, as it allows them to gauge the interaction and quality of their social media content, improving content development and gaining insight into audience preferences.

Furthermore, Mention provides valuable data on click-through rates, effectiveness, reach, and organic reach of posted content. This information helps companies identify areas for improvement and enhance engagement in their content campaigns. The software also automates the tedious task of manually searching for business mentions on the web that are not linked back to the company's website. This saves time for the team while contributing to search engine rankings and increasing organic traffic through acquired links.

Moreover, Mention is employed by PR teams to track brand mentions in real-time across various platforms. This contributes to a company's PR strategy by allowing them to join conversations promptly and build relationships with thought leaders. It is also a cost-effective alternative to expensive social media monitoring solutions, offering 360-degree visibility into what people are saying about a brand.

Lastly, Mention proves invaluable to Customer Service departments as it enables fast notifications and prompt response to interactions with the brand on social media. By receiving email notifications of brand mentions on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, they can catch comments and questions that would otherwise be missed.

In conclusion, Mention serves a diverse range of use cases, from social media monitoring and SEO link building to customer service and PR strategies. Its capabilities empower businesses to stay informed about what people are saying about their brand on the internet, contribute to content development and engagement enhancement, and monitor interactions with customers in real-time.

Users commonly recommend the following:

  • Try the free plan: Many users suggest trying Mention's free plan before committing to a paid subscription. This allows businesses to get a feel for the tool and see if it meets their needs without any financial commitment.

  • Set up specific filters: Users recommend setting up specific filters in Mention to sift through content that is relevant to their business. By customizing the filters, businesses can ensure that they only receive notifications for mentions that matter to them.

  • Use in conjunction with other tools: Many users recommend using Mention in conjunction with other PR and marketing tools for a more comprehensive monitoring solution. By combining Mention with other tools, businesses can enhance their analytics and tracking capabilities.

Overall, users find Mention to be a valuable tool for tracking brand mentions on the web. It is often suggested to take advantage of its dashboards, add all social media accounts to maximize benefits, and use it to monitor brand mentions or key conversations. However, some users mention that it may not be suitable for businesses with a limited budget, so it is recommended to evaluate the cost-effectiveness based on individual needs.

Our PR and SEO team uses mention to always stay informed of which articles are published, customer feedback and if there are any articles that mentioned us but did not link back. This is an essential part of our link building strategy. The entire team at Softorino uses it Mention pretty much because we all get a Slack notification allowing even the developers to know what is being said about us online.

Our marketing team (and more frequently) our PR person use it.

We take an inbound approach to marketing, so we produce a lot of content. We need to share this with our market, so our PR person uses Mention to find people who would be interested in our content. By knowing who cares most about our content themes, we have greater success in getting it promoted by influencers.

I'm the only one currently using Mention! I personally work on all the digital analytics for the organization, I post and manage the social media for the company and I'm the sole person working on SEO. Mention provides a great way to connect these three different work areas together and allow me to track all three in a matter of minutes. It's literally a lifesaver!

I am the only one in our business that uses Mention, but that is because we are a very small, family operated business. Although I have a social media assistant, I try to do as much of my own social media as I can. I prefer to respond to Mentions personally!

At this point, unfortunately, only one person is running our company. There have not been any employees at all at our company. Though options to fix this problem will be a daily challenge. Further consultation and resources will be reviewed to determine when, where, and how to get the task done in the future.

I personally use Mention for our company. I am the Customer Service Manager and I am also in charge of our social media marketing and content marketing endeavors. I use Mention directly for helping to track backlinks, earn more backlinks, interact socially, network with influencers, and reply to negative remarks before they spread.
