Medium Monitoring for Brand and Competitor Mentions
Medium is where practitioners write long reviews, tutorials and 'why we switched' posts. Prospy searches Medium stories for your keywords, reads the title, subtitle and opening of each new story, and scores it, so you see who is writing about your product, your competitors or the problem you solve.

Does Prospy track responses on Medium stories?
Prospy searches Medium stories for your keywords. It does not go through the responses under each story.
Can I follow a specific Medium publication or author?
No. Medium monitoring in Prospy is keyword based. Use the publication's or author's topic, or your brand name, as keywords instead.
How does this fit into Medium marketing?
Medium marketing usually means publishing your own posts. Monitoring is the other half: knowing who already writes about your category, so you can respond, share their work or build a relationship with those authors.
