Google Alerts alternative that finds buying intent, not just mentions
Google Alerts monitors the web for brand mentions. UserRadar monitors Reddit specifically for people expressing the pain your product solves — much higher buying intent.
Set up alerts for keywords. Get email digests of web pages mentioning those terms. Mostly news articles, blogs, and spam — rarely actual buyers.
