Four steps to track brand mentions on Reddit: list exact names, use Reddit search and its feed, add F5Bot email alerts, and know when a paid tool helps.

Bottom line: List the exact names people use for your brand, then watch Reddit search sorted by new, add free keyword email alerts from F5Bot, and review the results once a week. A paid tool such as Brand24, Awario or Syften adds dashboards or faster alerts. If you reply, say who you are in the first line.

What Brand24 is, how a project, a keyword and a mention work, which sources it lists and what its reports and alerts cover, read from the vendor's own pages.

Bottom line: Brand24 is a social listening service run by Brand24 Global Inc. You give it keywords, and it collects public posts, articles and reviews that contain them into a dashboard with sentiment, reach, reports and alerts. It watches from the day you set a project up, with a 30-day look back, and its plans cover monitoring, not post scheduling.
