Choose the searches people actually use
Start with your public name, your main handle, and a distinctive name variation or project. If your name is common, add the profession or company people use to identify you. Check the results before committing a keyword slot to a phrase that mostly finds someone else.
For example, a creator might choose a stage name, a handle, and the title of an ongoing series. A professional might choose a full name, name plus employer, and name plus specialty. These are setup examples, not a requirement to use all three variations.
Separate search results from platform mentions
Search monitoring tells you what appears for selected queries. Platform monitoring looks in the selected social spaces. One does not replace the other: a post can matter before it becomes a prominent search result.
Our Search plan checks the top 40 results for three keywords across Google, Bing, and Brave daily for $99/month. Our Reddit plan checks three keywords across ten selected subreddits daily for $99/month. The All Social plan checks three keywords across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit daily for $299/month. See the monitoring options for scope.
Make ordinary updates manageable
Pick a daily summary if the situation is active, or a weekly summary if you mainly want to stay informed. Decide who receives it and who will take action. A report nobody reads is not much use.
Daily checks and weekly emails are compatible. The checking schedule determines when the service looks; the summary schedule determines when routine results reach you. Neither means every mention on the internet is covered.
Define what should interrupt you
Doxxing, threats, and strongly negative content may deserve attention before the next summary. Critical alerts can send an email when concerning material is detected. Explain relevant context during setup, including common name collisions that could create misleading matches.
A critical alert is a reason to review the result. It is not a finding that a threat is credible or a substitute for emergency help. Daily checks also mean an alert can follow detection rather than the moment a post first appears.
Decide what happens after an alert
Save the URL and context. Work out whether you need a correction, a platform report, removal support, or simply a record of the change. Monitoring identifies things to review; action is a separate decision.
For one harmful page, explore removal and suppression. For an ongoing pattern affecting your work, see our creator services. Start with the monitoring coverage you need, rather than paying to watch every possible platform.
