7 things every business should be monitoring with Google Alerts

Google Alerts is a free service that emails you updates based on search criteria you specify. Seven things you should be monitoring for your business:

  1. Your boss. He or she will appreciate being informed on what others are saying, good or bad.
  2. Your company. How is your company being talked about on the Internet air waves?
  3. Your products. What are customers saying about your products? Do they like them or are they complaining?
  4. Your top three customers. Enhance your relationship with your top customers by congratulating them when they win awards or notifying them if their customers express concerns.
  5. Your top three prospective customers. As with your current customers, build a relationship by acknowledging their accomplishments, recognitions, awards, etc.
  6. Your industry's important issues. Are there critical issues that will affect your industry (e.g., a piece of legislation)? Keep your current and prospective customers informed too.
  7. Your competitors. What products are they releasing? Who are their new clients? What are their customers saying about them?
