Indeed it provides e-mail alerts, but that&#8217;s a <strong>primary feature of most monitoring tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What disappointed me is that Google Alerts sent us 3 random mentions in e-mail reports. I find it unuseful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, Brand24 sends alerts with the most interesting mentions. Customers love this feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d6fb3a3545c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d6fb3a3545c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"726\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/turn-off-google-alerts.png\" alt=\"How to turn off Google Alerts? - alternatives tools for media monitoring\" class=\"wp-image-176069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/turn-off-google-alerts.png 1010w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/turn-off-google-alerts-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/turn-off-google-alerts-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/brand24.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/turn-off-google-alerts-221x159.png 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1010px) 100vw, 1010px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how about trying an advanced tool?
