Western Balkans media intelligence

Know what the media says about you, the moment it is published.

Publika Metrix reads the news across seven Balkan markets — deepest in Kosovo and Albania — finds every mention of your brand in Albanian, Serbian and English, and tells you what it means: sentiment, relevance, risk and PR value, on every single article.

The Publika Metrix dashboard: mention totals, PR risk alerts, volume over time and sentiment split

Your dashboard: volume over time, sentiment split, and every mention scored as it lands.

Reading the outlets that set the agenda

    What it does

    A clipping service tells you that you were mentioned. This tells you whether it matters.

    Six things have to work for media monitoring to be worth paying for in this region. All six are built in.

    Every outlet, one feed

    RSS where it exists, sitemaps where it does not, and purpose-built scrapers for the portals that publish neither. New outlets are onboarded from the admin screen without a code change.

    Your name, spelled every way

    Prishtinë, Prishtine, Priština and Приштина are the same city. Serbian Cyrillic folds to Latin, digraphs first; stroked letters Unicode will not decompose are handled by hand.

    Matching that does not cry wolf

    Word-boundary matching means HIB never fires inside Inhibitori. Exclusion terms kill homonyms outright — an insurer tracking Sigal is not buried in basketball results.

    Read, not just collected

    Every mention gets sentiment, a 0–100 relevance score, a risk level, a topic and a one-line summary — plus an estimated PR value. You open the dashboard already knowing what needs a response today.

    Syndication collapsed

    One agency story republished by eleven portals is one story, not eleven. Near-duplicates are detected by content fingerprint and folded together, so your volume chart reflects reality.

    Alerts and branded reports

    Fire an email or webhook the moment something negative and high-relevance appears. Send a daily, weekly or monthly brief in your own colours and logo, to whichever list you choose.

    See it work

    From headline volume to a single article, in three clicks.

    Moving through the Publika Metrix dashboard: overview, then the mention feed, then share of voice

    Overview, the scored mention feed, then share of voice against tracked competitors.

    Getting started

    Useful on day one, not in week three.

    Because the archive is already crawled, adding a keyword matches it against history immediately — you are not waiting for news to happen before the product does anything.

    Tell us what to watch

    Your brand, your executives, your competitors, the topics that move your market. Add spelling variants and words that should rule a match out.

    History is matched at once

    We hold the archive already, so your dashboard is populated within minutes of signing up — with real coverage, not an empty state.

    Alerts and a morning brief

    Urgent things reach you immediately. Everything else arrives as one branded summary at the hour you choose, in your timezone.

    Coverage

    Seven markets, one workspace.

    National dailies, broadcasters, agencies and the online portals that actually set the agenda across the Western Balkans — tiered so a front-page item is not weighted the same as a niche blog. Kosovo and Albania are covered deepest; the rest of the region comes with it.

    Packages

    Straightforward monthly pricing.

    Start with a 3-day free trial — five keywords, no card. When you are ready, pick a package and our team switches it on.

    How payment works. We do not take card details in the platform. Request the package you want, and we will contact you to agree terms and invoice you directly — bank transfer or card by arrangement. Your account is upgraded by our team as soon as it is settled, and nothing you have collected during the trial is lost.
    Questions

    Before you sign up.

    Do I need a credit card for the trial?

    No. The trial needs an email address and a password, nothing else. There is no card form anywhere in the product.

    Why do you email me a code?

    To confirm the address is real and yours before an account exists. Nothing is created until the code is entered, so an address that is never confirmed leaves no trace and stays available.

    What happens after the three days?

    The dashboard stops serving new data and shows you the packages instead. Nothing is deleted — everything matched during your trial is still there when a package is activated.

    How do I actually pay?

    You request a package from inside the app, we contact you to agree terms, and we invoice you directly. Once it is settled our team activates the package on your account, usually the same working day. No card details ever enter the platform.

    Which languages and spellings are handled?

    Albanian, Serbian and English. Serbian Cyrillic is folded to Latin, Albanian diacritics are normalised, and you can add your own spelling variants per keyword — so a name written four different ways is still one keyword.

    Can I track competitors as well as my own brand?

    Yes. Keywords are typed as brand, competitor, person, product or topic, and reports can include or exclude competitor coverage. Share of voice comes from that split.

    Where is the data hosted?

    On EU infrastructure, in Germany.
