Hello

You can create a custom URL category on the FW and add whatever sites/urls that the client wants. Then, you go back to your URL Filtering profile and ensure that the custom URL category is set to alert.

To add to the above comment, you will want to only (1) ensure the URL filtering profile is configured so that either a custom category is set to alert, or the real estate category itself is set to alert

But most importantly (2) you will want to ensure that profile is attached to the policy that traffic is touching. Go to the monitor tab to confirm the deny action for that user/IP/zone and name rule, and then apply your alert policy to that rule.
