How to get alerts on company news

If you follow companies closely, you know how fast things change. A press release announcing a funding round, a leadership hire shared on LinkedIn, or a regulatory update can reshape the landscape overnight. The challenge isn’t whether the news is out there – it’s whether you catch it in time.
Why generic alerts fall short
Most people start with Google Alerts or similar tools, but the gaps are clear:
- Updates often arrive too late to act on.
- Key sources – press releases, filings, LinkedIn posts – are missing.
- Inboxes fill up with duplicates, commentary, and irrelevant mentions.
For investors, analysts, and corporate teams, that delay and noise can mean missed opportunities.
A smarter way to stay informed
The best approach is to use dedicated news monitoring software that pulls everything into one feed. Instead of juggling multiple tabs, you can track:
- Official announcements and press releases
- Media coverage from trusted outlets
- Company blogs, investor relations updates, and filings
- LinkedIn company posts and updates
This gives you a complete, real-time view of what’s happening – delivered as instant notifications or as clean daily and weekly recaps.
