Small business owners have a lot to do. Checking the news for your company name is not usually on the list. But a news story about you, or about a competitor, can matter. You may want to share it, respond to it, or just know about it before a customer brings it up.
WatchForMe does the checking for you. You describe what to watch in plain English, like "Email me when there is news about Your Company Name." We turn that into a news watch. When a new article shows up, you get an email right away. There is no account to make and no app to install.
How to set it up
Type your request in plain English, such as a company name, a competitor's brand, or a topic in your industry.
Pick a plan: $3 for 1 watch, $5 for 3 watches, or $12 for 10 watches. Each is a one-time payment for 30 days.
Wait for the email. You get one when a new news article matches, and a private link lets you see or stop the watch.
Things you can type
“Email me when there is news about "Your Company Name"”
“Tell me when a new article mentions [competitor brand name]”
“Alert me to new news about [your product or industry topic]”
“Email me when the news covers [owner or founder name]”
Start a watch in a minute
Describe it in plain English. From $3 for 30 days, one-time, no account or app.
Use the exact name people use for your business. If your name is common, add a detail like your city or industry so you get fewer unrelated stories.
Use extra watches for competitors. The $5 plan covers 3 names, and the $12 plan covers 10. For example, you could watch your company, two rivals, and a topic.
This is for news articles. It does not watch social media posts, reviews, or pages behind a login.
Faster plans check more often. The $3 plan checks every 60 minutes, $5 every 30 minutes, and $12 every 15 minutes. That is quick, but not instant.
Questions
What counts as a brand mention?
WatchForMe watches for new news articles about a name, brand, or topic. That can be your company, a competitor, a product line, or a person.
Can I watch a competitor too?
Yes. Each competitor name is its own watch. The $5 plan gives you 3 watches and the $12 plan gives you 10.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. It is not a browser extension and needs no app. You pay once, and alerts come by email. Each watch has a private link where you can see or stop it.
How long does a watch last and how often does it check?
Every plan lasts 30 days. The $3 plan checks every 60 minutes, the $5 plan every 30 minutes, and the $12 plan every 15 minutes. Prices include tax.
What if it doesn't work for what I need?
You can ask for a refund within 7 days if it doesn't work for your page.
We'll email you on Wednesday, November 25, so you can set your price-drop and restock watches before the sales start, and once more before Cyber Monday.
