What problem were you trying to solve with your automation?
Most mention-tracking software is pricey and often lacks flexibility. On the other hand, tracking mentions manually is time-consuming and often leads to missed conversations.

With this automation, marketing, and PR teams can set up a customizable and budget-friendly workflow for tracking brand mentions.

Why did the problem exist?
In most companies, tracking brand mentions is a manual and resource-intensive process. Specialized software can simplify this, but it often comes with rigid features and high subscription costs.

DataForSEO’s automation solution offers more flexibility, allowing for tailored workflows that integrate seamlessly with tools like Сlaude and Airtable.

How did you solve the problem? What does your solution look like?
This automation performs a daily check for brand mentions across various platforms.

Once mentions are detected, they are sent as a structured email using Claude (AI tool), providing an easy-to-read summary. Additionally, the data is automatically added to Airtable for further analysis and trend tracking.

This approach combines real-time monitoring, structured reporting, and data storage, allowing teams to stay updated, analyze brand sentiment, and react quickly to important mentions without the need for manual tracking or expensive specialized software.
