Holidays are coming and it’s gonna be a really Hot time for the online competitions. Lots of people are using Google Social Search tool for searching their wins in different competitions and there is a handy guide Finding wins with Social Searcher thanks to Di Coke.
Recently we released a Social Monitoring feature update, which can help you to automate the process of finding your wins. In this article we’ll describe it step by step as well as some tips for the new competitions finding in real time.
Facebook real time search results are not that good for the rare requests like Your Name + Congratulations or Wins, that’s why we combined Google Social Search results and real time search results for the saved searches with started social monitoring.
Following steps will allow you to get email notifications about your wins, see the whole history of the mentions and get access to all other features of the premium plans.

Also you may add Your Name and twitter account or any other network account (for example, Instagram, if you are comping there too) to the Exact Keywords section. However, it will bring all other social buzz around your name, not only relevant to the wins.
