CO8 Brand Guard

Someone else is bidding on your brand. Guard it.

Your brand name, product names, and highest-intent keywords are assets. Resellers, affiliates, dropshippers, and anonymous arbitrage shops quietly take them over — on search, on marketplaces, on social, in countries you never look at. CO8 Brand Guard watches all of it for you and delivers one weekly report with what changed and what to do about it.

The quiet leak

Brand dilution doesn't announce itself. It shows up in your CAC.

By the time a team notices, an unknown seller already owns the first result for its own product name — and is charging the brand a premium to buy back its own customers.

Brand-term hijacking

Third parties bid on your brand and product names, intercept buyers who already decided on you, and force you to pay more for traffic you had earned for free.

Rogue listings & clones

Unauthorized marketplace listings, copycat storefronts, and near-identical domains absorb demand, break your pricing, and route your reviews to someone else's account.

Impersonation on social

Fake accounts, unauthorized affiliate pages, and look-alike handles run offers in your name — and every bad experience lands on your brand, not theirs.

High-intent keyword capture

The terms that convert — "brand + review", "brand + discount", "brand + vs" — get occupied by affiliates and arbitrage sites you do not control.

Blind spots by country

A term you own in the US is wide open in Germany, Japan, or the Gulf. Cross-border hijacking is invisible from a single-market dashboard.

No standing evidence

When you finally act, you need dated proof. Screenshots taken after the fact are weak; a continuous record is what gets a listing or an ad pulled.

How Brand Guard works

Proactive monitoring, not a fire drill.

You give us the terms that matter. We watch them continuously across platforms and countries, verify what we find, and hand you a decision-ready report every week.

  1. 01

    Register your protected estate

    Brand names, sub-brands, product and SKU names, trademarks, slogans, domains, official handles, authorized sellers and affiliates, plus your high-intent keyword set and priority markets.

  2. 02

    Continuous multi-platform sweeps

    Search results and paid placements, marketplaces, social platforms, app stores, domains, and affiliate networks are swept on a rolling schedule — per country, in local language.

  3. 03

    Verify, classify, and evidence

    Every hit is checked against your authorized list, classified by type and severity, and captured with a timestamped screenshot, URL, platform, and market — the record you need to enforce.

  4. 04

    Weekly report with an action list

    One report each week: what is new, what escalated, what was resolved, which terms you are losing, and the specific takedown, policy complaint, or bid action we recommend for each item.

  5. 05

    Escalate and close the loop

    We prepare the platform complaints and takedown packets, then track each case to resolution so the same seller cannot quietly reappear next month.

Inside the weekly report

  • Brand-term share: who is showing up on your own name, by market.
  • New infringements found this week, with severity and evidence links.
  • Repeat offenders and the networks behind them.
  • Keyword positions you are losing, gaining, or defending.
  • Takedowns filed, pending, and resolved — with turnaround times.
  • A prioritized action list: who acts, on what, this week.

Delivered as a shareable report your legal, growth, and marketplace teams can act on without a meeting.

Copertura

Every surface where your name can be taken.

Monitoring is configured per brand: you choose the platforms and the markets, and the sweep runs in the local language of each one.

Why it pays for itself

Stop renting back your own demand.

Brand terms are the cheapest, highest-converting traffic you will ever have. Every week an unauthorized seller sits on them, you pay for it twice — once in ad cost, once in margin.

Own your name

Your brand and product terms belong to you again — in every market you sell in.

Lower blended CAC

Fewer bidders on your own name means cheaper clicks on the traffic that already wanted you.

Protected pricing

Rogue listings that undercut and discount without permission get found and removed.

Evidence on file

A continuous, timestamped record that makes enforcement fast instead of speculative.

Better together

Defend the term. Then win it.

Brand Guard finds the terms and markets where you are being outflanked. The CO8 creative engine turns each one into on-brand ads fast enough to take the position back — the same week the report lands.

A week in the loop

  • Monday — Report lands: three new hijacked terms in Germany, one rogue marketplace listing, two impersonation accounts.
  • Tuesday — Takedowns and platform complaints filed with the evidence already attached.
  • Wednesday — CO8 produces a localized ad cohort for the contested terms and markets.
  • Friday — You are back on top of your own name, with the position defended by live creative.

Brand Guard, answered

If your question isn't here, the team answers it directly.

What exactly does CO8 Brand Guard monitor?
The estate you register: brand and sub-brand names, product and SKU names, trademarks, slogans, domains, official handles, and your high-intent keyword set. We sweep search and paid placements, marketplaces, social platforms, app stores, domains, and affiliate networks — per country, in local language.
How is this different from a trademark watch service?
A trademark watch tells you when someone files a mark. Brand Guard tells you when someone is actively taking your demand: bidding on your name, listing your product, impersonating your account, or occupying the keywords your buyers use. It is commercial monitoring with an action list, not a registry alert.
How often do I hear from you?
A full report every week, with the evidence, the severity, and the recommended action for each item. Critical items — a live clone storefront, a payment-taking impersonation account — are escalated immediately rather than held for the weekly cycle.
Which countries are covered?
You choose. Monitoring is configured per market and priced by the number of terms, platforms, and countries in scope. Most brands start with their top revenue markets plus the two or three where they suspect leakage, then expand.
Do you handle the takedowns, or just report them?
Both. The report is decision-ready on its own, and we prepare and file the platform complaints and takedown packets, then track each case to resolution so repeat offenders do not quietly return.
Can you stop competitors from bidding on my brand name?
Where platform policy allows — trademark-based complaints on brand-term bidding, unauthorized use of your marks in ad copy, and marketplace listing violations — yes, and we file them with dated evidence. Where a bid is legal, the report tells you exactly where it is happening so you can defend the position with creative and bids instead of guessing.
What do you need from us to start?
Your brand and product names, trademarks and registration numbers where they exist, your domains and official accounts, your authorized seller and affiliate list, your priority keywords, and the markets that matter. That is enough to run the first scan.
