We find fake accounts, fake ads, phishing sites, logo misuse and unauthorised sellers that use your brand, and report them to the platforms, registrars and hosts involved.
Trusted by publishers, media, education and D2C brands
Brand abuse shows up in social accounts, ads, domains, apps, listings and search results. Here is what we monitor in each and how we report it.
Protect your brand from impersonators misleading your audience
Fake brand accounts and pages copy your logo and tone of voice to sell products that don't exist, collect customers' details or run fake 'support' desks.
On your plan's scan cycle, we look for accounts, pages and channels that imitate your brand on the social platforms and messaging apps in your plan.
We file impersonation and trademark reports for the accounts you confirm, and track each one to resolution.
Report deceptive ads that misuse your brand on social platforms
Scammers pay to put fake 'sale' ads in front of your customers, using your brand name and product images to steal card details or sell counterfeits.
We check the public ad libraries of Meta and the other platforms in your plan for ads that use your brand name, logo or imagery without permission.
We report the ads you confirm through each platform's ad and intellectual-property complaint channels. The platform decides whether to remove an ad or the advertiser's account.
Find fake websites and apps that copy your brand
Phishing sites copy your website on look-alike domains, often a small misspelling of your own ('typosquatting'), to collect customers' logins and payment details.
We monitor new look-alike domain registrations on a schedule, check which ones go live, and capture evidence of the pages and apps that copy you.
We file abuse reports with the registrars and hosts of the sites you confirm, and report fake apps to the app stores involved. Suspension is at the registrar's, host's or store's discretion.
Safeguard your brand assets from unauthorized and misleading usage
Your logo on low-quality products, fake stores or scam pages misleads buyers and wears down the trust it stands for.
Image matching helps us find your logo on websites, marketplaces and social platforms, including altered versions.
For each use you confirm, we file a trademark or copyright complaint with the platform, marketplace or host, and track it in your dashboard.
Report misleading content that uses your brand to attract clicks
Clickbait pages put your brand name in sensational headlines to pull traffic to ad farms, scams or misinformation sites.
We track mentions of your brand on news aggregators, content networks and social platforms to find misleading articles and posts.
We report content that breaks a platform's or ad network's policies, and send correction or removal requests to publishers that misuse your trademark or misstate facts about you.
Report search ads that misuse your brand name
Scammers bid on your brand name so their ads appear above your own site in Google results, sending searchers to phishing pages or fake support numbers.
We check searches for your brand terms in the locations in your plan, and capture each suspicious ad with its landing page.
We file trademark complaints with Google for the ads you confirm. Google decides whether to remove an ad or suspend the advertiser.
Report fake Google Business Profiles that use your brand
Fake Google Business Profiles send local customers to the wrong address, or to a scam phone line that answers in your name.
We look for profiles on Google Maps and Search that use your brand name, logo or photos in the locations in your plan.
We report fake profiles to Google and help you claim and verify your genuine locations. Google decides on each report.
Find unauthorised sellers and listings of your products
Unauthorised sellers on Amazon, eBay or niche marketplaces may sell grey-market, expired or stolen stock, undercut your pricing and strain your relationships with authorised distributors.
We monitor the marketplaces agreed in your plan and flag sellers who aren't on your authorised list.
Listings that infringe your trademark or copyright, or break the marketplace's rules, are reported to the marketplace. For genuine goods sold outside your network, you get the seller details to take up with your distributors.
You approve every report; platforms, registrars and hosts decide on removal.
Your trademarks, logos, official domains, social accounts, apps and authorised sellers, and a signed letter of authorisation so we can report on your behalf.
Social platforms, ad libraries, app stores, new domain registrations, Google Business Profiles and the marketplaces in your plan. First findings arrive within 7 working days.
Our analysts review each finding and attach the evidence; nothing is filed until you confirm it.
Impersonation and trademark reports go to platforms, abuse reports to registrars and hosts, and ad complaints to Meta and Google. Where a platform offers rights holders and their agents a dedicated reporting channel and we have access to it, we use it.
Removal times are set by each platform; in India, the IT Rules also set deadlines for some complaints, such as impersonation and intimate images. Every request's status is in your dashboard.
Optional legal escalation through independent counsel, such as cease-and-desist notices or domain disputes; fees quoted per matter.

Nikhil Chauhan McGraw Hill Bytescare monitors social platforms, ad libraries, app stores, new domain registrations, Google Business Profiles and the marketplaces in your plan for impersonation, fake ads, phishing sites, logo misuse and unauthorised listings. For each item you confirm, we file a report with the platform, registrar or host involved, and track it in your dashboard.
It depends on the number of brands and marks to protect, the platforms and regions covered and the scan frequency in your plan. Plans are quoted after a 30-minute discovery call. Legal escalation, if needed, is quoted per matter and billed separately.
We file abuse reports with the domain's registrar and the site's host, with evidence of the phishing or impersonation; the registrar or host decides whether to suspend it. Where the domain name itself infringes your trademark, independent counsel can file a domain dispute (UDRP, or INDRP for .in domains).
We check the public ad libraries, and searches for your brand terms in the locations in your plan, capture each ad with its landing page, and report the ones you confirm through Meta's and Google's ad and trademark complaint processes. The platform decides whether to remove an ad or suspend the advertiser.
It helps. Trademark complaints usually ask for registration details, and many marketplace rights-owner programmes ask for a registered or pending mark. Impersonation and copyright reports don't always need one. If you don't have a registration yet, we can arrange filing through independent trademark attorneys.
Yes. We work with brands in India and abroad, on Indian and international platforms alike. Legal and on-ground action in India goes through independent counsel.
No. Our analysts review every finding, and nothing is reported until you confirm it. You can see every report and its status in your dashboard.
