Competitor Domain Monitor
Know when your competitor domains become available for purchase
Nora watches a list of 'wish list' domains and alerts you when they expire and become available for registration.
You've probably got a list of domains you'd love to own: your-competitor.com, your-brand-domain.com, or a premium keyword domain. These domains might be registered to someone else, but if they lapse, you can grab them. Nora maintains a watch list of domains you specify and checks their expiration dates quarterly via WHOIS. When a watched domain's expiration date approaches, you get an alert. When it expires, Nora alerts you that it's now available for registration. This automation catches opportunities that would otherwise be missed — many premium domains drop quietly without public announcement. For $20/year, you could own alternate brand domains, redirect them to your main site, and strengthen your SEO. Nora also scans for typosquatting domains (domains similar to yours that you might want to buy to protect your brand).
Runs quarterly on the 1st at 12:00 pm using GoDaddy, run by your CEO.
