Getting Started with Brand Monitoring

In today’s digital landscape, a strong brand reputation is one of the most valuable assets your business can have. Whether you’re running a small company or managing a large enterprise, understanding how people perceive your brand helps you make smarter business decisions. With Insight Gainer’s Brand Monitoring feature, you can easily track brand mentions, monitor customer sentiment, and compare your performance against industry benchmarks.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Add Your Keyword

The first step in brand monitoring is to enter a keyword that represents your brand. This could be your:

• Company name (e.g., Insight Gainer)
  
• Website domain (e.g., insightgainer.com)
  
• Product or campaign names (e.g., Insight Gainer SEO Tool)
  

By adding the right keyword, Insight Gainer will begin tracking all relevant mentions and conversations associated with your brand.
Pro Tip: Include variations of your brand name or product name to capture a broader set of results. For example, “Insight Gainer,” “InsightGainer,” and “Insight Gainer Software.”
Click the “+” button to save your keyword.

Set Your Monitoring Period

In the Categories section, you’ll see a date range field. This allows you to define the monitoring period for collecting sentiment and performance data—an essential part of brand monitoring.

Choose a specific timeline (e.g., 08/30/2025 – 09/29/2025) for campaign-based tracking.
For ongoing tracking, select a rolling 30-day or 90-day window to keep insights fresh and actionable.

Pro Tip: Align your monitoring period with your marketing campaigns, product launches, or seasonal promotions to measure impact effectively.

Select Industry Categories

To gain a competitive advantage, Insight Gainer allows you to benchmark your brand sentiment against industry categories. This step enhances the depth of your brand monitoring process.

Here’s how:
Open the “Select a Category” dropdown and browse through available options such as:

• Apparel
  
• Apparel Accessories
  
• Bags & Packs
  
• Handbags & Purses
  
• Laptop & Computer Bags
  …and more.
  

Choose the category most relevant to your brand or product.
Click the “+” button to add it to your monitoring list.

This feature enables you to understand not only how customers feel about Insight Gainer, but also how your sentiment compares to that of competitors in the same space.
Pro Tip: If your brand covers multiple product lines, add various categories to monitor trends across different segments for more comprehensive brand monitoring.

Step 4: Save and Start Monitoring

Once you’ve entered your keyword(s), set the monitoring period, and selected categories, simply click Save. From here, Insight Gainer will automatically collect sentiment data, track online mentions, and generate insights tailored to your brand.
