Mention research you can schedule later

This playground runs Olostep brand intelligence. In production, the same job is a Google Search batch or an Answers task you can repeat.

  • Aliases and domains

    Include legal names and properties so mentions are not missed.

  • Platform filters

    Focus on news, forums, Reddit, X, or Instagram.

  • Time windows

    Look back 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days.

How it works

Each tool is designed around a direct job: provide the input, get a useful output, and move it into your workflow.

  • 1

    Name the brand

    Add aliases and domains if you have them.

  • 2

    Choose surfaces and timeframe

    Pick where to look and how far back.

  • 3

    Read the JSON

    Copy mentions into a digest or a recurring batch job.

Built for practical workflows

These tools are small on purpose: they solve the conversion job quickly, then point teams toward the API path when the workflow becomes recurring or high volume.

  • PR monitoring

    See news and forum mentions after a launch.

  • Reputation checks

    Scan review-adjacent and social chatter before a campaign.

  • Competitive watch

    Track a peer brand on the same surfaces.

Need this at scale?

Use /v1/batches with the Google Search parser for mention queries, or /v1/answers for a summarized digest. The snippet on this page shows the batch path.
