AlertRank FAQ

WHY SHOULD I USE ALERTRANK?

What is AlertRank?

AlertRank is an add-on for Google Alerts that makes it easy to prioritize and manage the flood of alert emails for Google Alerts users.

AlertRank adds more than a dozen key ranking values to each alert, so you can quickly zero-in on alerts that need immediate response. A daily Excel email digest lets you sort and search each day's alerts with ease. An online buzz management system with detailed analytics lets you review all your past alerts, and create custom PDF reports.

Who should use AlertRank

If you rely on Google Alerts to track the online buzz for your business and clients, then you're going to love AlertRank. This essential update organizer saves time and eliminates headaches for PR managers, marketers, corporate reputation managers, and SEOs. AlertRank users find it typically pays for itself within just a few days of use.

Why is AlertRank better than just using Google Alerts?

Google Alerts alone is a great tool if you're running only a handful of searches. But add several clients and multiple search terms to your daily mix and soon you're flooded with alert messages. That's where AlertRank comes in. You get the key market intelligence and management tools you need to prioritize your responses quickly.

Why is the ranking of Google Alerts so important?

When you do a normal Google search, the results are organized with the most influential sources listed first. So most people just look at the first page of results. Google Alerts, however, is unranked and based on recency (the most recent results for your keywords.) That means you're receiving alerts on items that would normally appear many pages down in a regular Google search.

Because all alerts are not created equal and come from Google Alerts unranked, AlertRank takes the extra step for you. Rather than an unranked list of who knows what, you get the contextual data you need to decide if an alert is relevant and from an influential source.

This is critical for PR and reputation managers needing to make sure comments from key influencers are addressed immediately, as well as SEOs who are looking for the best sites for placement of links.
