Social Listening
Real-time tracking on multiple social media platforms

Alerts
Set alerts that actually matter
Tired of irrelevant alerts? With EmbedSocial, you decide exactly which keywords, hashtags, or competitor mentions you want to track. That means fewer false positives and more meaningful insights compared to Google Alerts.
UGC Rights

While Google Alerts stops at notifications, EmbedSocial lets you republish approved user content directly to your social channels or website. Turn mentions into live posts or widgets with one click, transforming passive listening into active engagement.
