Brand24

Brand24 is crossing into spoken-word monitoring, detecting brand mentions inside TikTok and YouTube audio before competitors do.

◆Current state
Brand24 has expanded well beyond text-based social listening. The product now ingests brand mentions from YouTube and TikTok video transcriptions, tracks how AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini reference brands, and offers Boolean-level query precision with AI-assisted search building. The Owned vs. Earned channel filter, launched in September, sharpens the core mention feed by separating a brand's own posts from organic external coverage — a data quality fix that improves nearly every downstream metric on the dashboard.
◆Where it's heading
Brand24 is systematically expanding its coverage surface from text toward audio and AI-generated content, then layering analytical depth on top. The pattern is clear: YouTube audio in June, TikTok video transcription in September, AI Visibility as a structured add-on since May. The product is positioning itself as a unified brand intelligence layer that spans traditional media, spoken web platforms, and LLM citation tracking — not just a social monitoring dashboard.
◆Prediction
The AI Visibility add-on will likely move from trial-gated to core-plan within two or three quarters, as LLM citation tracking becomes a standard budget line for brand teams. Advanced Search, currently Business/Enterprise-only, is a candidate for mid-tier rollout to reduce churn from power users on lower plans.

    Separate your own content from the conversations you earn

    Brand24 now classifies every mention as Owned or Earned — separating a brand's own posts and sites from organic external coverage. This fixes a data quality problem that previously inflated conversation volume metrics with self-generated noise, and makes the core dashboard more useful for earned media analysis without any manual filtering.

    Discover more TikTok mentions with video transcriptions

    ⚡ SPARK

    TikTok video transcription monitoring extends Brand24's audio coverage to the platform where brand mentions are increasingly spoken rather than typed. This directly continues the YouTube audio detection pattern from June, establishing transcription-based monitoring as a core product capability rather than a one-off feature.

    Advanced Search: build precise searches with AND, OR, NOT, and more

    Boolean search with parenthetical grouping, exact phrases, and proximity operators closes a capability gap that had pushed enterprise media monitoring buyers toward more specialized tools. The AI Helper integration for query construction lowers the barrier for non-technical users, making the feature practically accessible rather than just technically present.

    Brand24 launches PWA with push notifications across all platforms

    The PWA launch with platform-native push notifications reduces response latency for critical mentions — the core use case for PR and community management teams. Cross-platform installation without an app store is a meaningful friction reduction, though the underlying monitoring surface is unchanged.

    🎙️ Brand24 now detects your brand's spoken mentions in YouTube videos

    ⚡ SPARK

    YouTube audio monitoring was Brand24's first major expansion into non-text brand mentions, establishing transcription-based detection as a new product surface that the team has since applied to TikTok. This release marked a genuine directional shift — from tracking what people write about a brand to tracking what they say.
