Brand protection

See who's faking your brand. Then shut them down.

Counterfeit ads steal your clicks, your customers, and your reputation, often before you ever notice. Protego scans the ad platforms and marketplaces counterfeiters use, worldwide, cross-checks every match so the noise is gone, and hands you a takedown queue instead of a pile of screenshots.

The gap

Manual brand monitoring breaks long before it scales.

01
8-15%
of revenue lost to copycats

Counterfeits outpace takedowns

By the time legal flags a knockoff Facebook ad, the campaign has already cycled through three creatives and a fresh ad account.

02
1,000s
of suspicious ads per week

Manual review doesn't scale

A single brand can attract thousands of suspicious ads a week. No team reviews ten thousand listings by hand, so most are never seen.

03
~70%
of fakes hide brand marks in images

Tools miss the visual signal

Most monitoring relies on text alone. Counterfeiters dodge that by burning brand marks straight into product photos and video.

The engine

AI detection. Human judgment. Nothing slips through.

Step 1 · Detect

AI scans the surfaces counterfeiters hide on

Protego sweeps ad libraries and image search for your logos, product shots, and creatives, worldwide, every day.

Step 2 · Verify

Every match is cross-checked before it reaches you

Multiple independent vision checks have to agree before a detection lands in your queue, so you get signal, not noise.

Step 3 · Act

You stay in control of every takedown

Approve a detection, escalate it to a case with a full audit trail, and drive it through an 11-stage takedown pipeline.

How it works

From suspicious to removed
in four simple steps.

No security team required. Get protected and running in minutes, not weeks.

  1. 01

    Add your brand

    Drop in your logo, a few key product shots, and a handful of keyword variants. That is the whole setup, and it takes minutes.

  2. 02

    We watch the platforms

    Protego sweeps ad libraries and image search worldwide, day and night. No security team and no manual searching required.

  3. 03

    Review a clean queue

    Each scan returns a ranked, triaged list. Only cross-checked matches make it through, so you are reviewing real threats, not noise.

  4. 04

    Take it down

    One click turns a detection into a case with evidence screenshots and an audit trail, ready to drive through a takedown.

Product

Built for teams that fix the problem instead of triaging it.

Multi-method visual matching

Several independent vision checks weigh in on every candidate and have to agree, so no single model dictates the verdict and your queue stays clean.

Reliable by design

Retries never double up. Every detection is recorded once, so your queue is always accurate.

Broad platform coverage

Across the surfaces counterfeiters use, with new platforms added behind the same engine.

Auditable cases

Every status change leaves a timeline entry, and notes thread inline with the linked detection.

Live scan progress

Scan jobs stream their status in real time, so you always know where a run stands.

Whitelist before it bites

Mark partner domains, ad accounts, and trusted pages, and they auto-suppress in future runs.

Coverage

Coverage across the platforms counterfeiters use.

Ad libraries, marketplaces, social, app stores, and the open web. The recognition engine is surface-agnostic, so new platforms plug in continuously.

Why Protego

The same job, without the blind spots.

Brand-protection teams stopped fighting this by hand.

Protego flagged a counterfeit ad campaign 40 minutes after it went live. We had it pulled before lunch. The old way took us three weeks.

ME

Maya Ellison

Head of Brand Protection · DTC skincare, $40M

It caught our logo burned straight into a product photo, something our text-based tool had missed for four months.

DR

Daniel Roth

IP Counsel · Consumer electronics

We went from a VA dumping 300 screenshots a week into a spreadsheet to a 15-minute queue where the matches are actually right.

PN

Priya Nair

Trust & Safety Lead · Footwear brand

Two clicks from detection to a case file with evidence and an audit trail. Our outside counsel stopped asking for screenshots.

TB

Tom Becker

General Counsel · Supplements, 9-figure

Worldwide coverage actually means worldwide. We found knockoff ads running in markets we don't even sell in yet.

SA

Sofia Alvarez

VP Marketing · Premium accessories

The false-positive rate is the whole game, and Protego nails it. My team finally trusts the queue enough to work it every day.
