Know when you've been mentioned on YouTube

Type the brand, the person, the product, the competitor, or the topic. The first search is free, with no credit card, and it covers podcasts and YouTube. You get the sentence that was said, the channel, and the timestamp. Subscribe to keep watching new videos. The trailing 30 days are generally available within 24 hours of signup.

1. Search. Type the brand, the person, the product, the competitor, or the topic.
2. Read the mention. You get the sentence that was said, with the channel and the timestamp. The quote is never reworded.
3. Save the search. A saved search is a tracker. It keeps watching new videos.

YouTube mention tracking is a search of what was said in a video for a brand, a person, a product, a competitor, or a topic. You've Been Mentioned watches videos as they publish, across 150,000+ podcasts and YouTube channels. A mention is the unedited sentence that was said, the channel, and the timestamp. Sentiment is marked positive, negative, or neutral.

Each YouTube mention includes:

Text monitoring reads the written page. It never hears the video. We aim to surface a mention within minutes of the video being published. Processing times vary by source. Podcasts and YouTube are the sources. TikTok, Twitch, and Kick are not. TikTok is on the roadmap.

Save the search as a tracker and turn on the moments that should email you. When a new YouTube video matches, that alert goes to you. Every match from one check arrives in one email. You set the gap between alerts, from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Alerts require a subscription.

Office hours hold that email until your window opens. Mentions outside the types you turned on wait for one summary, daily or weekly. The weekly summary arrives on Monday at 9am, including on the free tier.

The moments you can turn on:

• Critical feedback. When someone expresses frustration, criticism, or pushback.
• Comparisons. When someone compares options, peers, rivals, or alternatives.
• Suggestions and requests. When someone suggests improvements, changes, or new ideas.
• Endorsements. When someone strongly praises or endorses the subject.
• First mention. When a new podcast or YouTube channel mentions your keywords.
• Mention spike. When mention volume jumps versus the prior period.
• Any mention. On every matching keyword mention.

Yes. A creator reviewing a product on camera is a mention, the same as a host reviewing it on a podcast. The quote is the sentence that was said, and it is never reworded. Sentiment is marked positive, negative, or neutral. You get the channel and the timestamp, so you can open that moment in the video.

You add a short description of who you mean. Each mention is checked against it, and videos about someone else drop out. Ed stays Ed Sheeran, rather than every Ed in a video. Spoken variants are searched too, because a name is often spelled the way it sounds. You can edit that description on the search.

A topic works the same way. “Self tanning products” keeps the mention on that category.

The first search is free, with no credit card. Standard is £99 a month, billed monthly, or £995 a year, billed yearly, which is £83 a month and a saving of £193 against paying monthly. It is one account: unlimited search across podcasts and YouTube, an email when a new mention matches what you chose, and a daily or weekly summary.

Alerts require a subscription. The weekly summary still arrives on the free tier, on Monday at 9am. Enterprise is custom: everything in Standard, plus unlimited alerts, tailor-made reports, and a dedicated account manager. The same prices and limits are in pricing.

Ask what the videos are saying, beside the mentions. The research tool answers from those mentions, such as what the reviews criticise or how they compare you with a competitor. Each point cites the sentence that was said, at that timestamp. The quote stays the sentence that was said, and it is never reworded.
