Discover NowEvery fraudulent ad that bids on your brand name intercepts a customer you've already paid to acquire, then sends them to a phishing page, counterfeit store or competitor site. Brandefense monitors 8+ ad platforms in real time. Fraudulent ads are identified at first appearance, before they accumulate impressions and clicks that can't be undone.

Continuous Scanning
In paid advertising, your brand name is a targeting keyword that anyone can buy. Fraudsters, counterfeiters and competitors all exploit that, redirecting high-intent customers who searched specifically for you.

Brand Keyword Hijacking
Customers typing your brand name into search expect to land on your site. Fraudsters bid on that exact keyword to intercept them at maximum purchase intent: the moment your brand has already done the conversion work.
Google Ads
Bing Ads
Fake Sponsored Results
Sponsored results using your brand name in the headline, your domain structure in the display URL and your visual identity in the creative, linking to credential harvesting pages. Platform ad policy prohibits this. Enforcement requires active reporting.
Google Ads
Meta Ads
TikTok
Counterfeit Product Ads
Social feed ads using your product imagery and copy to divert purchase-ready customers to counterfeit sellers. The ad looks identical to a legitimate promotion, but the product that arrives is not what your brand produced.
Meta Ads
YouTube
Phishing Landing Pages via Ads
A convincing sponsored result, a cloned login page and a form submission is all it takes. Customers have no reason to doubt a result that looks like your brand, uses your URL pattern and bears your visual identity.
Google Ads
Meta Ads
Unauthorized Affiliate Advertising
Rogue affiliates bid on your branded terms, make unauthorized offers and claim commission for traffic they've fraudulently captured. Your affiliate program pays them. Your ad auction costs rise. Your brand policy is broken. All three problems run simultaneously.
Google Ads
Bing Ads
Meta Ads
Brand Impersonation Ads
Investment scams, fake job offers and subscription traps perform better when they look like they come from a credible brand. Your visual identity and logo do the trust-building: the fraudster provides the copy and the landing page.
Meta Ads
TikTok
Scanning, fraud classification, landing page analysis, evidence compilation and platform reporting all run automatically. Your team reviews outcomes, not an ever-growing queue of suspicious ads.
Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Bing, Pinterest, YouTube and Twitter/X monitored simultaneously. Brand keywords and trademarks are tracked across search, social feed, display and video placements without manual spot-checking.
Automated detection, landing page analysis, evidence collection and reporting across 8 ad platforms and 6 fraud patterns, with no dedicated ad monitoring team required.
Simultaneous real-time scanning of 8+ ad platforms (search, social, display and video) for brand keyword misuse and impersonation ads.
Ad fraud campaigns launch, scale and disappear faster than any manual monitoring process can track. These four modules are purpose-built to match that speed and to predict the next campaign before it launches.

Ad Fraud Pattern Classification
Trained on historical ad fraud campaigns, the classifier assigns each detected ad a fraud type and confidence score. High-confidence classifications proceed to automated reporting. Edge cases route to analyst review, eliminating the false positives that make manual monitoring unsustainable at scale.

Phishing Landing Page Classifier
Landing pages are analyzed for phishing structure, visual identity cloning and malware signatures. Page fingerprints match against known phishing kits: one confirmed page maps the entire campaign cluster for bulk removal.

Affiliate Network Mapping
Shared domains, ad copy templates, billing patterns and campaign timing connect rogue affiliate accounts across platforms into a network graph. One confirmed violation becomes a complete network takedown, not a single ad removal.

Advertiser Behavior Modeling
Bidding behavior, account creation timing, ad copy evolution and campaign lifecycle patterns identify fraudulent advertisers before their first campaign scales, and predict relaunch after removal, closing the window before the new campaign finds its audience.
