Online monitoring

Posts about your brand and industry are scattered across various online channels. Listen aggregates them into a single platform, saving you time searching and helping you quickly identify posts that require attention.

With the Search Assistant, you can build search queries around your brand, products, competitors, or topics. Exclude noise and refine your results by source or date range, for example. For more complex analyses, you can use search operators to compare multiple brands, search for exact word combinations, or monitor specific topics like complaints and campaigns.

Save your search queries and use them for alerts, dashboards, reports, and automated periodic overviews. With Alerts, Coosto automatically keeps you informed of new posts and significant changes in activity or sentiment. This allows you to share signals internally faster and decide on necessary actions in time, for instance, before a situation escalates into a crisis.

Brand monitoring: see what impacts your reputation

See who is talking about your brand, through which channels, and how much traction posts are getting. Analyze authors, reach, sentiment, and trending topics to understand which conversations impact your reputation.

This helps you identify where appreciation is growing, where criticism arises, and which individuals or channels are driving the conversation. It enables communication and reputation management teams to better contextualize situations and back up decisions with real-time data.

From sentiment to better understanding what requires attention

Sentiment indicates whether posts are positive, negative, or neutral, helping you track how the overall tone around your brand or topic develops. EmotionAI adds extra context by recognizing specific emotions—such as frustration, appreciation, concern, joy, and sarcasm—and showing how intense those emotions are, along with the underlying reasons.

This gives you a clearer view of what is happening and the appropriate follow-up action: responding, providing extra clarification, escalating to customer service or communications, or simply continuing to monitor.

Real-time alerts for effective crisis monitoring

With alerts, Coosto automatically signals notable changes around your brand, product, or topic, such as a spike in posts or an increase in negative reactions. You can also set up a notification for every new post within a search query.

Once alerted, you can immediately see which posts are causing the change. This allows you to assess the situation faster, scale up internally, and prevent an important signal from being handled too late.
