Best practices

1. Be specific with keywords

Overly generic keywords return a large volume of results that are hard to review.

Good example: Starbucks Frappuccino Avoid: coffee

2. Split groups by purpose

• One for monitoring your own brand
• One for monitoring competitors
• One for industry trends

Splitting groups by purpose makes them easier to manage.

3. Match frequency to purpose

• Daily: Right after a PR announcement, during a campaign, or when speed matters
• Weekly: Regular ongoing monitoring
• Monthly: Tracking long-term trends
