Short answer: LinkedIn keyword monitoring means watching LinkedIn search results, company pages, and people for new posts that match a term. LinkedIn has job alerts and page notifications but no keyword alert for posts. A monitor checks the search on a schedule and sends new matches to your team.
AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. It watches LinkedIn search results, company pages, and public profiles and sends a summary to push, email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.
What LinkedIn offers natively
Job alerts, notifications for company page followers, and a feed. Search works for posts, people, and companies, but it does not notify you when a new post matches.
The gap is the alert, not the data.
What to monitor
The brand name, product names, competitor names, category terms, and executive names. Add the phrases buyers use when they are shopping, such as "looking for a tool that" or "recommendations for".
Company pages are worth a separate watch for hiring, launches, and leadership changes.
Search results versus pages
A search monitor catches new posts that match a term. A page monitor catches changes on a specific company or profile page. Run both if a competitor's page is part of your intelligence.
AyeWatch handles both with the same alert format.
Who owns the alert
Brand mentions go to marketing. Buying-intent posts go to sales. Competitor changes go to product marketing. Hiring signals go to recruiting.
One channel for all four is how a good signal gets ignored.
