What is media monitoring here for?
Media monitoring shows what people say about your brand and how well it is known — that is, how it ranks. Monitoring is not directly designed to measure brand awareness and does not give an exact picture of its position in the eyes of your audiences. However, tracking mentions encourages insights to promote the image.
1. Your image
Analyze which topics around your brand get the most attention. Do they work on brand awareness? If so, what brand features do they emphasize? Are all the features positive?The answers to these questions allow:a) check whether you communicate your brand features correctlyb) look at your brand differently — user comments on a resource you didn't even know about can highlight your unobvious advantagec) work out the negativeTracking mentions allows you to connect with their authors and do in-depth research on attitude to the brand. Mentions are also something that worries people. Gather this information to use topics from users in SEO texts.
2. New key words
Pay attention to the wording and words used in mentions of your brand and competitors. You can brainstorm weekly with your whole team for keyword searches, while media monitoring will show that people are using new phrases and word combinations. These keywords will be useful when working with SEO.
3. Brand RecallMentioning a brand users are not always linking it (either as a link or a tag). While this is an opportunity for a brand to once again declare itself and attract new users. Monitoring finds all the mentions, and you can not only answer the post or comment, but also add a link to your site. It is appropriate to appear where you have already been mentioned.

2. Valuable content
An effective way to keep an organic visitors flow to a company's website is to blog. A good search query place has to be obtained. The more people visit your website, the more they learn about the company. However, if a user appears at your landing and it did not meet his expectations, it affects SEO with a short session duration and no conscious return, and for a brand it means a company image can not solve a problem of potential customers.Work on content building:
3. Own niche
SEO allows a brand to occupy small niches. They will not bring mass sales, but still have a target audience — potential customers who can solve their problem with our product. This SEO opportunity is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses, which find it difficult to compete with large companies. However, it is valuable for a brand regardless of its size: customers from small niches are looking for a solution to a "rare" problem — if your brand efficiently helps them in this, the trust level and LTV grows.
