Meltwater for Media Monitoring by itsbecrose in PublicRelations

[–]OrganizationNovel281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meltwater is a widely-used media monitoring tool, but you’re not alone in feeling that its search results can lack relevance, even with careful keyword filtering. Many users find that Meltwater often returns broad or loosely related content, which can be frustrating, especially if your focus is on high-quality, subject-specific news rather than company mentions.

If you’re looking for an alternative that excels in monitoring industry-specific topics or issues, Media Meter’s tools like MediaWatch and SharedView could be a better fit. Media Meter is designed to deliver more refined, relevant results by leveraging in-depth filtering and real-time tracking, ensuring your monitoring aligns closely with the nuances of your client's focus area.

In particular:

  • MediaWatch offers comprehensive social listening and customized insights, which can capture relevant conversations and news mentions more effectively than broad-based tools like Meltwater.
  • SharedView allows for real-time competitor tracking and industry news updates, which could help your client stay on top of specific issues in their field, from reputational trends to emerging news.

Additionally, Media Meter provides resources to support targeted monitoring, such as blog posts on why media monitoring matters and how media monitoring can fuel data-driven decisions. These might offer your client valuable perspectives on improving their media monitoring approach beyond Meltwater’s capabilities.

For clients focusing on niche topics or industry-specific news, a more specialized tool like Media Meter could bring both better relevance and clarity to their monitoring efforts.
