How We Find and Take Down Fake Stores

online domain monitoring
Step 1

Proactive Multi-Layer Monitoring

We scan the surface web, marketplaces, search results, ad networks, and deeper channels (including dark web indicators and counterfeit directories) to discover stores using your brand, product images, or trademarks.

Step 2

Smart Similarity Scoring

Each flagged store is evaluated for brand/logo similarity, product image matches, domain heuristics and copy patterns to prioritize the highest-risk impostors.
