Search Engines

    Protect your brand
    across search engines

    Detect, validate, and remove infringements
    - and unauthorized use of your brand in search results.

    About the channel

    Search engines are the gateway to online shopping - and infringers know it. Counterfeit sellers and impersonators manipulate organic results, exploit autocomplete, and abuse trademark terms to surface rogue webshops, fake support pages, and phishing sites at the top of search. This unfolds globally across Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo, and in Asia across Baidu, Yandex, Naver, and Sogou. What makes search uniquely impactful is intent: users actively looking for your brand are intercepted before they even reach your channels, turning every infringing result into lost traffic, lost revenue, and lost trust.

    The Process

    Hive Brand Protection combines technology and experts to detect and remove search engine infringements in three simple steps:

    1

    Detect

    Spot brand misuse in search results the moment it appears. We detect trademark bidding violations, unauthorized brand use in listings, and fraudulent sites - fast and at scale.

    • Cross-engine search monitoring
    • Paid and organic result analysis
    • High precision
    2

    Remove

    Remove infringing search activity fast - and prevent recurrence. We submit trademark complaints and coordinate with search engines to pursue repeat violators.

    • Fast complaint and takedown execution
    • Repeat offender approaches
    • Prevention-first enforcement

    Turn enforcement into measurable results. Document infringing search activity, track brand term abuse over time, and build evidence for escalations and disputes.

    • Evidence capture & case overview
    • Dashboards & detailed intelligence
    • Impact and ROI reporting
