Magnify Your Social Media Monitoring with mention, a “Google Alerts on Steroids”

Tracking a brand online is a tedious process—you need to work with multiple tools, sift through pages and pages of results and click on hundreds of links to finally see if there’s a legitimate brand mention. Thankfully, there’s a startup making that chore super simple, and it’s aptly named mention.

Mention’s ease of use and expansive utility exponentially grows today as it joins 250-plus other apps on the Zapier app automation platform.
