After many months of development, we are pleased to announce WebNotes PR! If you’ve been following our blog, you know that we’ve been incredibly interested in how PR and communications professionals generate daily or weekly coverage reports.
Typically creating these daily scans is an enormously time consuming process, involving copying and pasting from a wide variety of sources like Google Alerts, blogs or traditional media monitoring services like Meltwater or Factiva.
Typically, since more than one source is required as only one of these sources will often miss valuable content, it necessitates a huge amount of time to comb through all available repositories. Further, creating a professional report from this content takes time to format with your firms look and feel. Because the human component is so important in this process, it seems it can never be fully automated. but this doesn’t mean that software can’t help! Enter WebNotes PR:
Supplement or Replace your Current Media Monitoring Process
Track your client coverage using WebNotes built-in media monitoring or just find content using your traditional search methods. To use WebNotes monitoring, input custom keywords for your clients and WebNotes will create live feeds from Google News, Google Blogs, Twitter and Technorati. Add your own RSS feeds as well to track industry blogs or other news sources.
