Thought I’d share a few links on some brand monitoring services.

These are tools to help monitor who is saying what about your brand.

And opportunities to monitor product/destination keywords and then provide information/feedback to those networks and online communities.

For some background, read this article for an introduction to online reputation management.

And the three tools:

  • Google Alerts – free and will help you gain an idea on what level of paid tool suits you.
  • Online Reputation Monitor – three pricing levels starting from £5/month. Free trial.
  • trackur – One of the more feature full programs. Free trial available.

I’ve not tried these yet but here are two tools specifically aimed at hotels.

10 Reputations All Hotels, Resorts & Inns Should Monitor Online

Any others you’d recommend?

    Technorati offers a service where you can create a search option and subscribe to that search (i.e. your brand). It’ll check who’s writing what (only blogs).

    I came across HowSocial? recently, but I think their visibility score could be improved:

    Hello all,
    I noticed this blogsite and thought I should take a look at it. I am actually the product manager for the review analyst program mentioned in the original entry.

    A variety of free programs are available, but very few of these will cover everything you want to have included, so you end up using several rather than just one. The reviewanalyst tool is customized for hoteliers, and monitors 9 online travel sites (and growing), youtube videos, flickr photos, and just for fun we through in google blogs.

    We also have alerts you can setup to let you know immediately when certain keywords or phrases are found within the travel site reviews.

    Please feel free to contact me directly if you’d like more information.

    Regards,
    Dean Schmit dean@standingdog.com
