Alert when your name is in the news

You want to know when someone writes about you, your business, or a person you follow. Checking a search engine every few days is easy to forget. By the time you look, the story may be old, and you may have missed a chance to reply, share it, or fix an error.

WatchForMe does the checking for you. You type what to watch in plain English, like "Email me when there is news about Your Name." The request becomes a watch automatically. When a new news article appears about that name, brand, or topic, you get an email right away. There is no app to install and no account to create.

How to set it up

  1. Type a sentence naming the person, business, or topic, such as Email me when there is news about "Your Name".
  2. Pick a plan: $3 for 1 watch, $5 for 3 watches, or $12 for 10 watches, each for 30 days as a one-time payment.
  3. Wait for the email. Each watch also has a private link where you can see it or stop it any time.

Questions

What counts as news?

WatchForMe looks for new news articles about a name, brand, or topic. You get an email when one shows up.

How fast will I hear about it?

You get an email the moment a new article is found. How often we check depends on your plan: every 60 minutes on the $3 plan, every 30 minutes on $5, and every 15 minutes on $12.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. It is not a browser extension, and there is no app. You pay once, and each watch has a private link to see or stop it.

Is this a subscription?

No. Each plan is a one-time payment that covers 30 days. Prices include tax.

What if it does not work for me?

You can ask for a refund within 7 days if it does not work for your page.
