Social Media Mentions Database Template

Your Social Media Mentions Database at a glance

This ready-to-use template tracks brand mentions, content creators, and overarching marketing campaigns cleanly in one place. It eliminates the manual effort of jumping between different spreadsheet tabs just to see how a specific post performed.

The database includes four connected tables that automatically link individual mentions back to specific authors and broader campaigns. This relational structure ensures every post is organized and impressions are rolled up accurately.

Integrated AI automatically scores mention sentiment, summarizes overarching campaign descriptions, and browses the web to build author bios based on their profile URLs.

Why tracking social media mentions in Excel breaks down

Managing hundreds of organic posts and influencer shoutouts in Excel quickly becomes a nightmare of endless rows and broken VLOOKUPs. When you try to match individual mentions to specific creators or track metrics across campaigns, spreadsheets constantly fail to keep your data organized.

What a structured database changes

A structured database solves this by treating your data relationally. Instead of copying and pasting an influencer's handle next to every single post, you simply link multiple mentions to a single author profile and let the system do the rest.

Native rollup fields automatically sum up total impressions across an entire campaign without relying on fragile spreadsheet formulas. This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for—keeping your tracking clean and scalable.

What you can do with this template

Instantly see which campaigns are driving the most impressions and seamlessly track which authors mention your brand the most often.

You can also take advantage of integrated Database AI agents to automatically categorize public sentiment as positive, neutral, or negative the moment a post is logged. Frame your social listening around automated insights rather than manual data entry.
