BrandMentions
· #381 most-usedMonitor every mention, act on every signal
BrandMentions is a brand monitoring and social listening platform that tracks every mention of your brand, competitors, and target keywords across the web and social media. It analyses sentiment, surfaces influencers driving reach, and enables on-demand keyword searches across billions of indexed pages. Connect BrandMentions to Actionist and your agents can run daily mention digests, route negative mentions to the support queue, pull competitor share-of-voice data, identify new influencer contacts for the CRM, manage the monitoring project registry, and alert the right team within about a minute of any significant signal — all without anyone logging into the BrandMentions dashboard.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the daily manual brand monitoring routine — checking dashboards, filtering mentions, copying data to Slack or spreadsheets, and managing the project registry — replacing it with scheduled agent tasks that run without human input.
What your BrandMentions agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
BrandMentions × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Campaign monitoring project live before the first asset ships
When a campaign launch event appears on the marketing calendar, the agent checks keyword credit cost, creates a BrandMentions monitoring project for the campaign keywords, backfills three months of historical baseline data, and builds a Notion campaign tracking page — all before the first piece of creative goes live.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.
What you do manually today
What your agent runs for you
- Sales60 min / weekManual competitor mention monitoring
Reps manually check BrandMentions, try to identify who is discussing competitors, look them up in HubSpot one by one, and create contacts manually — a process most reps skip entirely.
Sales Agent0 minAgent surfaces competitor intent signals in the CRMEach week the agent retrieves competitor mentions, identifies the source accounts, and cross-references them against HubSpot — new intent-signalling prospects are added as contacts with context before the rep's first call.
- Marketing90 min / weekManual daily brand monitoring
A team member logs into BrandMentions each morning, filters by date, sorts by reach, screenshots the top mentions, and pastes them into a Slack message — taking 15-20 minutes every single morning.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent posts the daily brand digest to Slack automaticallyEvery morning the agent retrieves yesterday's top mentions by reach, attaches sentiment labels, and posts a ranked list to #marketing — the team sees brand coverage before the first standup without opening BrandMentions.
- Customer Support45 min / weekManual negative mention triage
A support team member manually checks BrandMentions for negative mentions, copies the text and URL, and creates a ticket for each one — a process usually done once or twice a day at best.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent routes negative mentions to the support queue within about a minuteThe agent polls for negative-sentiment mentions on a schedule and creates helpdesk tickets for each one ranked by reach, so support responds to high-visibility complaints before they escalate.
- Human Resources60 min / weekManual employer brand monitoring
An HR team member manually checks Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and other platforms individually, compiles notes, and writes a summary — a task that takes an hour and often gets de-prioritised when the team is busy.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent delivers a weekly employer reputation digest to the People teamEvery Thursday the agent retrieves employer brand mentions, calculates the sentiment split, and posts a structured digest to the People team Slack — HR has a reputation pulse without a dedicated monitoring task.
- Finance30 min / weekManual financial media monitoring
Finance relies on Google Alerts and occasional manual BrandMentions checks to catch financial press coverage — volume spikes are often discovered after the fact, limiting the team's ability to respond proactively.
Finance Agent0 minAgent flags financial media volume spikes to the CFO before they escalateThe agent checks mention volume weekly against a four-week average and immediately runs a deep PostSearch when a spike is detected — the CFO receives an alert with context before the spike reaches board awareness.
- Operations30 min / weekManual monitoring project management
Operations manually audits the BrandMentions project list periodically, checks which projects are still active, and deletes stale ones — a task that rarely gets done on a consistent schedule.
Operations Agent0 minAgent maintains the project registry and retires stale projects automaticallyEvery Monday the agent syncs all active projects to a Notion registry, identifies zero-mention stale projects, and deletes them — the account stays lean without anyone manually auditing the project list.
- Legal45 min / weekManual trademark mention monitoring
Legal manually searches for trademark misuse signals across the web, compiles source URLs and context into a document, and emails it to counsel — a process that takes days and relies on someone remembering to do it.
Legal Agent0 minAgent runs a trademark sweep and drafts the legal brief within the same business dayWhen a trademark concern is flagged, the agent immediately searches BrandMentions for misuse signals, logs all findings to the legal risk database, and drafts a briefing email to counsel — turning concern into evidence in hours.
