WHAT SHOULD YOU MONITOR?
WHAT SHOULD YOU MONITOR?
Your Personal Name: Monitor any media (and social media) mentions of your own name.
Your Company Name: also monitor any likely misspellings or legacy company names.
Your Products
WHAT SHOULD YOU MONITOR?
Your CEO and Media Spokesperson (and other execs): monitor all possible iterations of his name, so you can be the first to know–or at least know before the WSJ finds out.
Your Marketing Message & Intellectual Property:“So easy even a caveman can do it?” “Just do it!” What if those campaign slogans were accompanied by “sucks” or “I’ll never buy from them again?”
Your Competition: If Shell & Exxon are not actively listening to the complaints about how BP is handling the Gulf oil spill, they are crazy. Both could use BP’s crisis to explain how they’re “cleaner” “better” or “safer.”
WHAT SHOULD YOU MONITOR?
Your Industry: If you keep a watchful eye on industry trends, you can spot opportunities and potential disasters.
Your Known Weaknesses: If Toyota had been honest with itself about its sticking gas pedals, it could have prepared a crisis communication plan and conducted a recall in a manner that wouldn’t have tarnished its reputation (as much).
Your Business Partners: For you, maybe the CEO of a company you did that “co-branded” campaign with, was just snapped leaving a brothel–how would that reflect on your own reputation.11. Your Clients’ NewsMonitor the news for your clients and then send them a note to congratulate them on their accomplishments–or maybe “watch their back” if you see trouble brewing.12. Your Intellectual PropertyIf you invested the time–and expense–to register a trademark or copyright your work, shouldn’t you make sure it’s not being infringed upon?

2) Scan Google Alerts: Check your Google Alerts for your company name, products, executives or brand terms.
2) Google Alerts
Google Alerts are emails or notices in your RSS reader that alert you to a new page, article, blog etc. about a
specific search term.
2) Google Alerts
TIPS
1. I recommend having these go to a Google Reader rather than email so that they don’t continually distract you.
2. If you send them to email, send them to a unique email address that you don’t check very often. The alerts will
become overwhelming when you go on vacation!
3. If you have alerts come to email, set them up to come once/day or week otherwise they will constantly distract
you. (Unless the term is really important!)
2) Google Alerts
TIPS
1. If you set up alerts to come once/day or week, they will arrive around the time you set them up.
So, if you want them to arrive on Monday morning,set them up on Monday morning.
2. Test! Test! Google alerts can be very annoying Test your terms and get specific!
3) Answer Industry-related QuestionsSearch for questions on forums that you or members of
your company can answer. You can set up an RSS feed for specific question categories to go to your Google Reader as well. When you find a relevant question, respond and
include a link to your website.
