Setting Up Keywords
Your Reputation.com representative will set up your keyword query based on your defined goals—overall curiosity, crisis prevention, competitive weaknesses, brand awareness, etc. The query can include keywords, mentions, hashtags, authors, and specific sites.
It’s important to define these parameters clearly, otherwise you may receive a large amount of mentions and other data that are not relevant to your goals.
For example, you might choose to call out a particular blog author in the query because you see him as a potential threat to your brand. Focus on keywords related to your brand, and not on individual locations.
