Brand protection

Know who is advertising on your brand name.

Your brand searches are your warmest traffic. Ads Lighthouse watches them in every market and on every device you choose, and saves each ad with the context to follow up.

Manual checks miss most of it.

Ads change by city, device and hour. A search from your office shows one result; a customer in another city on a phone sees another. Checking by hand is slow, and it leaves no record you can share.

Keyword drilldown: the advertisers and ads observed for one brand search.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add your brand terms

    Create a project for the brand, list the domains you own and add the brand keywords to watch, such as Nike US with nike, nike shoes and nike outlet.

  2. 02

    Choose markets and devices

    Pick countries or cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, then desktop, mobile or both, on Google, Bing or both.

  3. 03

    Review who appeared

    Paid results lists every domain that appeared, flags lookalike domains and brand mentions from domains you do not own, and opens the ads behind each one.

  4. 04

    Label and share

    Record each advertiser's relationship to you, then export the filtered table to CSV or Excel for your team or counsel.

What you get

  • Every ad saved with search term, engine, location, device and time
  • Brand mentions from non-owned domains highlighted
  • Alerts by email, Slack or webhook when a new or returning advertiser appears or an ad mentions your brand
  • Lookalike and coupon domains grouped for review
  • AI-assisted policy screening notes for Google ads that mention your brand
  • Advertiser relationship labels your whole team can see

What it does not do

  • An observed ad does not prove which keyword was bought, how much was spent or that a trademark was infringed.
  • Ads Lighthouse does not file trademark complaints for you. It prepares the details for the platform's form, builds an evidence pack and tracks what you filed.
  • Alerts cover new and returning advertisers, brand mentions in ad copy and detected affiliate IDs. There are no position or copy-change alerts.

Common questions

Can I use a saved ad in a complaint?

Yes. A case's evidence pack PDF lists each ad with its search, location, device and time, and the case page prepares the fields Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising forms ask for. You and your counsel decide whether it supports a complaint. The observation alone is not a legal conclusion.

Does it cover my own ads too?

Yes. Your own domains are recognized, so you can see where your ads appear beside other advertisers on the same searches.
