Import Google Alerts into Prezly
Automatically import articles from a google alert into Prezly
Google Alerts is a free online tool that allows users to monitor the web for specific topics or keywords. With its real-time monitoring solution, Google Alerts provides realtime updates whenever your brand of keyword is mentioned on the web.
- Go to your Google Alerts page
- Create a new alert based on the keyword you want to monitor
Here are some tips on how to make google alerts like a pro:
- quotes around "your keyword" if you want to phrase match
- use 'OR' if you want to monitor two things "Megan Markle" OR "Harry"
- use site: if you want to only see results from one site
- use - sign if you want to exclude
