Exclude mentions from Brand account for Instragram,Youtube,Linkedin ...#41

Now you can exclude Facebook and Twitter for the tracked brand/company account.

Please add more social networks to be excluded for your own brand account:
I would suggest:

• Instragram
• Youtube
• Linkedin

Would really help!

Please don’t stop at social networks! How about excluding infinite sources by implementing string search/matches or regex to strip out unwanted urls?

You can already strip out domains/url using wild cards. Simple and efficient. I think this solves your problem with regex. Regex would be way to complicated while the * wildcard is simnple and efficiet. check the image attached

Thanks. This is good for domain-level, but not for URLs (which is what I would like to see). For example, if I wish to remove all mentions/backlinks from Nike’s LinkedIn profile, I would like to be able to specify a URL (not domain), e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/company/nike/. Currently, I can only specify the domain, e.g. https://www.linkedin.com, which obviously wouldn’t achieve the desired filtering.

got it. so URL wild-card filtering

Yes please :)

Hi Razvan,

Please consider the use case in “unlinked mentions”, of being able to filter by the URL in the link itself, not just the anchor text.

BrandMentions seems to find the correct anchor text “[brand name]” - this is correctly highlighted yellow. But, in the unlinked mention, can the link itself be filtered?
This would be great advantage for the tool.

For example, a web page may be promoting a brand using affiliate links, but we just want to filter out the affiliate links.
(I believe this is similar to filtering out the brand’s social media links - as mentioned above)

If this is what your suggestion of “URL wild-card filtering” means then another big “Yes” from me.

Thanks!
Pete

thanks for the feedback. this will be investigated. pretty soon new exclude options will be available

This feature was added. It can be found in the Project Settings and is part of a much larger update including a complete rewrite of our backend engine that is collection mentions.

You can now exclude mentions from a single account on Twitter for example or from an account that contains a specific word.

The exclusion works for Twitter,Facebook,Instagram and Reddit.

You can also exclude any mention based on a keyword in the text, domain or URL.
