Sleep easy: we watch your name so you don't have to

You own jane-doe. Someone else just claimed jane-doe-codes and is now ranking for the exact query — your name plus your profession — that Google used to give you. How long until you find out? Historically: weeks, by accident, when a client mentions it. By then the damage is done — impressions, clicks, and trust have already flowed somewhere else.

Name monitoring closes that gap. It scans every new claim against your watchlist and emails you the same day a variant of your name gets taken, before it becomes a problem you hear about from someone else.

The variant problem

Your exact slug is safe — that's the point of a claim. But your name has variants, and every variant is a potential first impression you never made: jane-doe-codes, jane-doe-consulting, jane-doe-austin, janedoe (someone will try it). Each one is a page Google might rank for a search about you.

You can't prevent someone from claiming a variant — you can only know about it the moment it happens and decide what to do.

A watchlist that scans every claim

The monitor matches every new claim on the platform against your watchlist, using two signals:

• Exact matches: a slug identical to yours or a listed alias — the obvious copycat case.
• Keyword variants: slugs that combine your name with a word you're watching — your profession, your location, your niche — even if nobody has claimed the exact string before.

When a claim matches, you get an email the same day with the slug, the claimant's descriptor, and a link to their page. No dashboard to check, no scanning required — the alert comes to you.

Alert fatigue is a design bug

A monitoring system that emails you ten times a day gets muted in the first week and ignored forever. So alerts fire at most once per claim — the same variant claimed twice is one email, not two — and you choose the scan cadence.

Run it hourly or weekly; the noise level is the same, because the system deduplicates at the source. The goal isn't a full inbox, it's one clear signal when something needs your attention.

What to watch

Most professionals start with three watch items: their exact name, their profession, and their city. Add your niche if you have one. When a match lands in your inbox, you have two options — claim a better variant yourself, or note the competition and outrank it. Either way, you found out on day one, not week four.

Your name is being searched right now. Monitoring is how you find out what's answering.
