Promotions effectiveness

Search listening alerts will help you measure the impact of your work. Start following the product you’re marketing and see how search behaviour changes over time as your work is implemented.

Monitor and react

Now more than ever, there is a need to be ready to react to people’s ever changing questions around your brand, product or service. Track public feeling on events that matter to your organisation with an automated email update of relevant queries—so you can act.

Competitor analysis

Set up Search Listening Alerts to monitor your own brand, and do the same for competitors so you can keep an eye out for what’s going on in their world.

Reputation Management

Once you set up an alert you will be notified about any new searches around you, your brand, your organisation...or even a product. This will allow you to react when anything–whether it’s negative or positive–changes. Interesting stuff.

Pre-empting crisis

By tracking your brand or product name, you can keep on top of how people are searching for you and be alerted when searches increase on a particular topic or issue, before you need to act.

We use AnswerThePublic to add insight, validation, and creativity to our digital PR and content strategies – even pitches and proposals. It uncovers rich, less crowded, and sometimes surprising areas of search demand we wouldn’t otherwise reach. It has increased the search potential of our clients’ website and content through organic search.”

Search Listening is the process of understanding what an audience truly thinks.

Use the ultimate source of insight–search data–to see the unbiased perspectives of millions of people.

Learn what people really think, not what they say they think

It’s candid, honest insight, which makes it incredibly valuable...particularly when thinking about the people behind the search box.

Reduce the potential for flawed data

Search listening is less suceptible to unreliable responses, which can happen in surveys, or from a desire to project a certain image rather than reality, which is a risk with social data.

It’s how you listen to what people want, that will set you apart from the competition.

Imagine what you’re missing out on if you don’t. Search listening is the insight SEO needs, now.
