Unfortunately, not every article or Social mention informs us what Country the mention is coming from. When this happens we mark these mentions as undetected.
★ How to deal with this in Basic Alerts
You can make sure these mentions come in by selecting the Get mentions without country information in the Countries section of your Basic Alert.
Some mentions do not come with location-related information, either because such information is hidden, or because the mentions come through a service that has a location which does not reflect the end-user's (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). You can specifically monitor such mentions - in which case we advise you to add restrictions such as Languages, so that you'll still keep getting relevant mentions only.
