What types of automatic alerts can I set up?

Automatic alerts are your friend! There are many situations where you want to be automatically notified of compliance issues or advertising insights. Here are a few common ones used by The Search Monitor’s clients, along with the data they could be programmed to report:

Brand Bidding & TM in Ad Copy

You can be automatically alerted to competitors or partners bidding on your keywords or using your trademarks in their ad copy.

URL Hijacking

You can get automatic reports whenever an affiliate is displaying your branded URL in PPC but running their clicks through their Affiliate ID.

Affiliate Violations

You will receive an email at your specified time with full detail on the affiliate violation, including:

  • Violation type
  • Violation date
  • Screengrab with timestamp. Screengrab is a hosted URL so you can easily forward
  • Affiliate’s profile, including: their ID, network, number of violations, and other merchants they advertise for
