I set up Google Alerts.   This catches a lot of different kinds of 
vectors for reputation damage.   IMHO, marketing people should be 
watching it as most will be news or social media related.   They should 
forward weird technical detections like fake versions of yourself.  Not 
a perfect method, but important.

There's also lookalike domain services, but I'm out of date and I can 
only ever find big enterprisey ones.  eg..
