The goal is to take all those individual mentions of your brand or competitors, and visualize them with easy-to-understand graphs. That way, you can see trends over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also need to be simple to set up &#8211; otherwise what&#8217;s the point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We like to think we succeeded on the first part: you can make beautiful, insightful reports in Mention. But they just weren&#8217;t as easy to create as we wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we&#8217;ve given our reports a major overhaul. And we&#8217;re thrilled with the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, what&#8217;s changed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mention reports and dashboards are now one<\/strong>. Instead of creating a dashboard first, then going to the Reports tab to schedule it, you can do the whole process from one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply create a report, then <strong>choose whether to schedule it to send to your colleagues and clients<\/strong>, or leave it unscheduled for your own analysis.<br> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1000\" class=\"wp-image-13749 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report.png\" alt=\"black friday business report\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report.png 1600w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-450x281.png 450w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-187x117.png 187w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-24x15.png 24w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-36x23.png 36w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/black-friday-business-report-48x30.png 48w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1000;\" \/><br> We&#8217;ve also added a ton of new templates to let you set up reports even faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Included in this big update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already familiar with Mention reports, here are the other big changes we&#8217;ve made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Social performance reports for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More filters for mention lists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A complete redesign to make reports easier to use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ability to include your branding in public reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have an account, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.mention.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">log in<\/a>&nbsp;and see this for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re brand new, <a href=\"https:\/\/social.agorapulse.com\/mention-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we&#8217;d be happy to show you how they work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-you-should-care-about-brand-reports\">Why You Should Care About Brand Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re not going to love reports just because we tell you to. So what&#8217;s the point of all this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said above, the idea is to show you what&#8217;s happening online, on a macro scale. If you&#8217;re a marketing executive or an agency with clients to think about, what&#8217;s said about you is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why we built Mention: <strong>to help people keep track of conversations online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While reports can be used for all sorts of reasons, here are a few of our favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monitor specific campaigns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You launch marketing campaigns because you&#8217;re trying to achieve a goal.

Or perhaps to want to get more mentions on social media and build a bigger following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mention tracks all these comments all over social media and the web.
