How do you search for mentions of your brand without searching within your own site

[seoworx123]

We have a social network site and we monitor mentions. However, when we search we are finding content from our site being included. How do i filter the content to exclude my site.

Hi there

If you're doing a web based search, try this:

"SEARCH TERM" -yourdomain.com

So, put your search term in quotation marks and simply put a minus ( - ) in front of your domain name, or any domain name, to exclude results from that website.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Alternatively to Tom's suggestion, you could use "search term" -site:yourdomain.com just to ensure it is only your domain that is being removed from the results.

Sometimes your brand might be referred to by its web address and -yourdomain.com wouldn't return that result.

Thanks,

K
