LinkedIn Keyword Alerts: Track Mentions and Hashtags on LinkedIn
Get an alert when a new LinkedIn post mentions your company, a competitor, a hashtag or a topic. Setup, examples and costs.
Short answer: LinkedIn notifies you when someone tags your page, but not when a post mentions your name in plain text, a competitor, or a hashtag. Create a LinkedIn post search monitor in AyeWatch. Each check searches posts from the last day, and you get an alert when new ones match.
Set it up
- Open Create a monitor → LinkedIn.
- In Monitor, choose Post search.
- Type the words, like
"series A" fintech, your company name, or a hashtag like#fintech. - Write what you want in Only alert me about, like "funding announcements from fintech startups". LinkedIn search is loose, so the filter matters here.
- Pick how often to check and click Create monitor.
What people track
| Goal | Query | Filter |
|---|---|---|
| Mentions of your company | "Acme Analytics" | posts about our product, not job ads |
| A hashtag | #productmanagement | posts sharing a framework or case study |
| Sales triggers | "series A" fintech | funding announcements |
| Competitor mentions | "Brightpath CRM" | people comparing or switching tools |
What you get
The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.
Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.
What it costs
A post search check uses 2 credits, or 3 with the filter. A daily check with the filter is about 90 credits a month. Twice a day is about 180. Both fit Pro.
Plans: Free Preview gives you 3 credits to try a monitor on a daily check. Pro is $9 a month for 500 credits and checks as often as hourly. Pro+ is $19 a month for 1,500 credits and adds ASAP mode. Failed checks are refunded, and the form shows the exact daily credit use before you save.
