Ask What's your approach to responding when competitors mention your brand?

[Newman]

For those that are using social listening tools, they must have heard other brands mentioning their brands, either negativey or positively. Have you experienced this before? How did you respond, especially to the negative things your brand is called for?

You need to respond professionally and never engage in dirty fight or arguments online. If the calling may be damage your reputation, then hiring legal practitioner can be a better approach to this rather than defending.

 

[Anthony Joshua]

From my experience, I first assess whether the mention is positive, neutral, or negative. If it's positive, I thank them publicly and maybe share it with my audience. If it's neutral or comparing products, I politely highlight my value without attacking them. Engaging smartly can show professionalism and sometimes turn competitors' followers into your audience.

When competitors mention your brand, it's important to respond strategically. If it's a positive mention, acknowledge it with a thank-you or a friendly comment—it shows respect and builds goodwill. If it's negative, keep your response calm and professional, addressing any issues directly without escalating the situation.
