TikTok Mention Tracker
What a TikTok mention tracker can see, what it misses, and how to get alerts for brand and product mentions.

Short answer: A TikTok mention tracker watches public captions, hashtags, and usernames for your brand and sends new matches to a channel. It cannot hear a spoken mention or read on-screen text. Use it for alerts, and use TikTok's own notifications for comments on your own videos.
AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. Its TikTok Search monitor reads public video results for a keyword or hashtag and sends a summary to push, email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.
What it can see
Video captions, hashtags, the username, and the public description. If the brand name appears in any of those, a search monitor can find it.
It also sees new videos from a creator or a hashtag, which is how most brand mentions start.
What it cannot see
Spoken mentions, on-screen text, and comments. A creator can say your name for 30 seconds with no caption and the monitor will miss it. That is a platform limit, not a tool limit.
For spoken coverage you need a transcript service or a human review.
Queries that work
The brand name, the product name, the brand plus "review" or "trick", the competitor plus "vs", and the campaign hashtag. Add common misspellings, because TikTok search is literal.
One query per monitor keeps the alert readable.
Route by intent
A product review goes to marketing. A complaint or "scam" video goes to support. A trend or sound goes to content. A competitor comparison goes to product marketing.
Name an owner for each route, or the alert becomes a spectator sport.
