Google Alerts is a free tool that emails you when your keywords appear in Google's index, which sometimes catches Reddit threads. It is the cheapest, broadest way to keep half an eye on mentions, though coverage of Reddit is partial and delayed.
Subportly is everything Google Alerts is not. Those emails have no owner, no status, and arrive late. In Subportly, Reddit conversations become tracked items in a shared inbox, assigned, replied to from the right account, and resolved, in near real time when paired with a proper monitor or Subportly's own watch.
How Subportly and Google Alerts fit together
- Google Alerts is a fine free starting point, but it misses a lot of Reddit and lags.
- Forward its useful hits into Subportly, or use a real-time monitor, or Subportly's built-in watch.
- Whatever the source, Subportly gives every conversation an owner and a status.
- For Reddit specifically, pair Subportly with faster detection than Google Alerts can offer.
Google Alerts is a rough free net. Subportly is the workflow. For Reddit, pair Subportly with faster detection.
