What specific social media platforms and web sources does BrandMentions monitor beyond the major ones?
Beyond major platforms like X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, BrandMentions also monitors TikTok, Reddit, Bluesky, and a variety of web sources including sites, blogs, news, forums, and additional platforms like Booking, Tripadvisor, Yelp, Google My Business, Appstore, and Facebook Reviews.
