Coverage pickup tracking

A real session: exact-headline coverage tracking across 17 tool calls, separating earned pickup from wire syndication and owned pages.

A real Naise session, redacted before publishing. Nothing here runs against a live account.

Every session here was run once and saved, against a demo brand or public data. On your own account Naise works from your brand voice, your campaigns and your connected channels, so it reasons about your data instead of a stand-in.

Track which outlets picked up the Apple press release about the iPhone 17 launch since May 20. Use the coverage-monitoring tool with the exact release headline, not a bare news search, so the pickup list survives a flaky news feed. Capture publication, date, and speed of pickup, and separate original articles from verbatim wire syndication. Output an earned-media report with a pickup timeline and outlet list.
Naise

Tracked against the exact Apple release headline: “Apple debuts iPhone 17.” The exact-headline coverage run found 10 records. My read: the pickup pattern is heavily launch-day driven, with a clean split between original editorial/event recap coverage and verbatim Business Wire syndication.

Count I would report externally: 5 original/editorial pickups, 1 verbatim syndication pickup, 1 wire-distribution record, 2 owned Apple records, and 1 reference page.

Why the split matters: counting all 10 records as earned media would overstate the result by double. Owned pages and the wire channel are not pickup, and the reference page is not press at all.

That was a sample. Run it on your own brand.

Naise reads your brand, your channels, and your market, then does this against your real data.
