To Contextualize or Not to Contextualize
• Here’s what you should think about:
• Can you think of multiple ways this brand name is used in English (or other languages)?
• Yes: Contextualize
• No: Probably no need to contextualize

Contextualizing
• Using either AND or NEAR operator, defining the brand name or inclusion keywords further with relevant unique terms
• Context words are collection of keywords that are often mentioned with the brand (or your topic of interest)
• You have to work to build these context terms

RESEARCH

Befriending the Website
• If you're building a query about Monster.com, then go onto Monster the job search engine website
• There will be myriads of unique keywords
• What's unique?
• Keywords like "project", "help & security" or "search tips" are probably not unique to Monster the job search engine
• Keywords like "resumes", "jobs" or "career resources" ARE probably relevant for Monster the job search engine
#brandwatchtips © 2014 Brandwatch.com | 11
Befriending Google
• Just Googling the Brand name to see what's said online about the brand
• Google AdWords Keyword Planner
#brandwatchtips © 2014 Brandwatch.com | 12
Befriending Wikipedia
• Wiki was your friend in college and once you're friends with wiki, you're forever BFFs with it
• Look for the disambiguation page
• Example of Chase
#brandwatchtips © 2014 Brandwatch.com | 13
Befriending freedictionary.com (or any other dictionaries)• You can search idioms here
• If your brand name is "All" phrases like "all the time", "all this while", "all he does" should probably go away
• freedictionary.com might be a good place to start

Befriending Brandwatch
1. Start with the BROADEST search possible
2. It's probably a bit chaotic at first, so test it out
3. Build a quick context based on what you know about the brand
• Expand! Expand!
4. Go back to the BROADEST search but this time, exclude the relevant contextualized part
5. You'll see the left-over bit that's mostly you don't want
6. Skim through first 9~10 pages, see if there are any relevant mentions that you want to include as part of your search
7. Identify unique keywords near Brand mention from these mentions and add to the context term
