▤ MarkdownTrack competitor mentions
Find recent public discussion of a competitor and separate themes from anecdotes.
What are people publicly saying about a competitor this month?
This is a task pattern. The Plugin or API available in your account and Agent session determines the actual steps, cost, and output.
What to provide
- Competitor name, aliases, and product category.
- Platforms, language, time window, and maximum number of posts to inspect.
- Topics worth tracking, such as a launch, complaint, or feature request.
Copy this prompt
Use SpringBrand to review public mentions of [competitor and aliases] on [platforms] during [date range].
Ask for missing scope. Inspect the available Competitor Mention Tracking Plugin or Social media API and any cost before running. Limit the sample to [N] public posts.
Group repeated themes, include representative links and dates, and show how many posts support each theme. Distinguish direct statements from inferred sentiment and explain sampling limits.
Return a concise watchlist of themes and two follow-up questions. Do not reply, follow, or contact anyone.Possible SpringBrand capabilities
- Competitor Mention Tracking is a public Playbook example.
- Reddit or X can help find public posts about the competitor. See Understand customers.
What the result could look like
Illustrative structure — placeholders, not a live result
Theme: [Repeated topic] — [sample count] of [total reviewed] public posts; include representative URLs and dates.
Counterexample: [A post that disagrees with the main theme], so the pattern is not presented as unanimous.
Follow-up: Check whether the same theme appears in another platform or time period.
Review the result
- Check that posts actually refer to the intended competitor and time window.
- Read examples behind each theme; a small public sample is not market share.
- Keep sentiment, inference, and direct quotations distinct.
Next step
Turn a verified theme into a customer interview question or a product comparison hypothesis.
