FAQ
- Why should I pay $30 a month when I can get information from Google Alerts and other free aggregators?
- Ask yourself how much time it would take you to sort through all the information you receive daily from Google Alerts, RSS feeds, e-newsletters, and so on to compile a detailed and actionable report on the day's news. Then ask yourself how much your time is worth. The Scoop Briefing Report costs $1 a day.
- I'm primarily interested in news about my industry. Will Scoop find that for me?
- Yes, Scoop monitors more than 700 industries, companies and focus areas. And again, we don't just monitor news about your industry in trade publications, newspapers and 25,000 online news sources, we condense the key facts for you in a briefing report based on your search terms which you can change at any time. If you want more details about a particular industry, please contact us at comments/questions.
- How soon after an article appears online or in print is it captured by Scoop?
- Depends on the source; sometimes it's within minutes, and at most, it's only a few hours.
- How in-depth can my searches get?
- As deep or broad as you want to make them. It all depends on your needs and how you set up your search terms. We have live customer support available to help you customize your searches to fit your specific needs.
- Do I have to sign any type of contract?
- No, you pay by the month. You can cancel at any time. Your subscription will be cancelled for the following month.
- Does Scoop monitor blogs and social media such as Facebook and Twitter?
- Scoop is not a social media aggregator. We do cover 25,000 online news sources, 600 newspapers and 700 industries so our powerful search engines capture pretty much anything that is considered as real news.
- Does Scoop monitor foreign language publications?
- Only English publications at this time.
