Your work isn't visible until you show it.

You're tracking coverage every day — but to everyone outside your team, that effort is invisible until it's in a format they can actually look at. A dashboard turns your monitoring search into a clear picture of impact: how much coverage you earned, where it landed, who saw it, and how sentiment moved.

It also answers the questions you get asked most:

  • Did our campaign land, and where?
  • How do we compare to our competitors?
  • Which outlets and journalists cover us most?
  • Is sentiment moving in the right direction?

Build it once and it keeps working. Because your dashboard is connected to your saved search, it updates itself — so next month's report is already waiting instead of being rebuilt from scratch.

    Thanks so much for joining ​@kmoody it was great that you were building along with me! Thanks for your participation. 

    You should share a picture of the 3 new widgets that we added today - it will be great for the rest of the cohort to see what kind of customisation is available when building dashboards! 

    Here’s a helpful resource on how to edit widgets: Editing Your Dashboard

    My favorite part of dashboards are the AI Summaries. I set up this template for Road to Summit and then recently added the newest AI widgets.

    Key Coverage · The held-out placement is a Cars.com Facebook post asking whether the EV3 offers enough storage, but its empty view signal and short copy do not clear the bar for representative standout coverage. Stronger evidence sits in the main sample: U.S. News & World Report’s first drive presents the EV3 as affordable, practical electric motoring for mainstream buyers, while Cars.com’s review frames it as a well-rounded compact SUV with useful range and value. Edmunds adds a first-drive assessment centred on bold styling, interior space and accessible pricing. U.S. News & World Report

    Key Authors · Alex Kwanten is the strongest named voice, writing for the high-reach U.S. News & World Report on the EV3’s arrival in the United States and its appeal to pragmatic buyers. Conner Golden brings a high-reach Cars.com perspective in a review weighing four strengths against three drawbacks, with attention to trims, packaging and value. Jared Gall, also at Cars.com, focuses on the EV3 as Kia’s cheapest electric car and examines its pricing, range and dealer availability. No additional candidate author stands out beyond these high-reach automotive contributors. U.S. News & World Report

    Channels · Editorial automotive coverage appears across U.S. News & World Report, Cars.com, Edmunds.com, Car and Driver Magazine, Autoblog, SlashGear and The Autopian, all identified as news sources on the news platform. Social amplification appears on Instagram, X, Facebook and Bluesky, including posts from InsideEVs, Cars.com, The Autopian, Autoblog and SlashGear. The retrieved mix therefore places road-test and pricing stories alongside short-form social promotion and reposting. Cars.com

    Sentiment · Positive framing centres on affordability, range and the EV3’s practicality as an accessible compact electric SUV, reflected in Cars.com’s assessment of its well-rounded package. The negative thread is dealer pricing, with Carscoops describing markups and add-on fees that undermine the model’s price advantage. Register differs by channel: reviews discuss driving, design and usability, while the critical article focuses on retail conduct and shopper cost. Carscoops

    A dashboard can be built from an Explore saved search or tagged mentions under Tags. I built a dashboard from an Explore saved search.

    1. Since my search had four regions, I added widgets to fetch Total Mentions by locations, renamed the widgets, and added time period (this quarter) in Edit mode. I dragged and arranged them for clarity.
    2. I also selected the date range for the whole dashboard by clicking on Calendar in Edit mode. 
    3. Next, I used the wand (Mira Companion) to get an understanding of the widget ‘Mentions by Source Type’. Once I was satisfied with the metrics, themes, citations and the emerging story, I added it to the dashboard, renamed it and dragged it at the desired location. 
    4. Lastly, I downloaded the report from Export in a PDF format.
