A Keyword Alert tool — would you use it?

[Artashes]

Inspired by this conversation, I decided to assess the degree of interest in adding a keyword alert tool as a functionality. Would anyone here use it? Those that would, would you use it even if there was a fee attached to it? What fee would you consider to be totally worthy of your business?

For transparency, I've setup the function and have been testing it for the past couple of days. I got to say—it is pretty awesome. Received a few email alerts so far, all on point. It's great if you want to stay on top of your points of interest, and to be able to respond quickly. I can see the value in following the name of your company, your competition, or a specific product/service.

I use something similar - Google Alerts. Basically I have trigger keywords like name of company, target regions, and of course main principals of businesses and then receive email alerts based on that. USUALLY those alerts come in the form of News or PR releases, but sometimes it's articles written. Not sure if it's something similar that you're talking about - https://www.google.com/alerts/

I also use Google Alerts and have been for years. I would certainly test your keyword alert tool. Sounds interesting.

It functions in a similar way. It sends an email if a keyword is mentioned in post.
