MAP Monitoring
MAP monitoring is the practice of systematically tracking publicly advertised prices across marketplaces, retail websites, and shopping comparison engines to identify sellers advertising below MAP. It is the detection layer of a brand protection program — without it, enforcement cannot function at scale.
Modern MAP monitoring is software-driven. Tools scan hundreds of seller listings simultaneously across Amazon, Walmart, Target Plus, Google Shopping, Best Buy, and other channels, generating violation alerts and timestamped documentation in real time. Brands with more than a handful of resellers cannot sustain effective MAP enforcement without automated monitoring.
