Great article Google News Alerts from CD Baby’s DIY Musician, a very simple and basic tactic you can do to monitor your band and brand across the internet. I have Google News Alerts setup on my name, my url, clients and other phrases. I seem to always find links and mentions I never knew about.
Google Alerts are “email updates of the latest relevant Google results web, news, etc. based on your choice of query or topic.”By setting Google Alerts for your own band name, songs, and album titles, you’ll be able to stay on top of everything people are saying about you online. Sure, I know that sounds narcissistic, but it’ll make your marketing and promotion a bit easier. Plus, you can customize your results by choosing the type of source blog, news, video, etc. and frequency of notifications instantly, daily, or weekly.Setting Google Alerts will allow you to: see when your music goes live on many of CD Baby’s retail partner sites like AmazonMP3. monitor online chatter about your work so you can respond to fans and thank music critics who’ve written reviews. gauge the effectiveness of your promotional efforts.To set up a Google alert that will be sent to your email, click HERE.
