I just checked and found https://www.google.ca/alerts .  I have 4 alerts set up but haven't received anything for several years, so I'm not sure how effective it is.  However, it's probably worth putting in your company name and then receive an alert when new things are spidered by Google that mention the company.

My company just found a fake instance of themselves, so I wonder what
folks do to detect them?

I know politicians suffer impersonation a lot, but I don't know who's
out there helping people and companies find and shut down the scammers.
