Brand Monitoring

This is the proactive counterpart to brand-protection. It helps you set up monitoring across domains, social media, marketplaces, paid search, and app stores to catch typosquatting, impersonation, counterfeits, and trademark abuse before they spiral. You get a monitoring plan with specific search queries (like brand+ai, brand+app variants), Google Alerts setup, and a clear cadence from weekly manual checks to real-time vendor tools like BrandShield or Tracer. The skill reads your project context for brand details and tailors output accordingly. Once you find infringement, you escalate to brand-protection for takedowns. It's straightforward about budget tradeoffs between manual searches and automated platforms, which is refreshing.
