See the fake ads running under your brand name.

Fake discount and counterfeit ads collect clicks with the brand's name. Authex scans ad libraries and search ads, and records advertisers that are not yours along with the pages they send people to.

Ad monitoring screen: ads using the brand name, channel, finding type and action status

Detection

What it catches.

01

Unknown advertiser

Advertisers bidding on your brand name who are not on your account list are found. Your own ad accounts are kept out of scope.

02

Misleading claim

Ads claiming to be "original" or "official" are flagged as well.

03

Foreign landing page

If the ad leads to a page that is not one of your confirmed domains, a finding is created.

Evidence

What is recorded for every finding.

  • Advertiser, headline, body text and call to action
  • Landing page address and ad creative
  • First and last seen dates
  • Region, impressions and spend range (where the library provides them)

Process

From finding to outcome.

  1. Scope is defined

    Brand name, products, official images, authorized sellers and allowed domains are entered.

  2. Scans are scheduled

    Channels, countries and scan frequency are chosen; scans then run on that schedule by themselves.

  3. Findings are reviewed

    Findings are ranked by risk level; the team confirms, reviews or dismisses each one.

  4. Action is tracked

    A confirmed finding gets an action record, a notice draft and an evidence package. The right holder or their lawyer files the notice, and the process is tracked on the record.

FAQ

Questions about Ad Monitoring

Will our own ads become findings?

No. The brand's own advertiser accounts are allow-listed and do not produce findings.

Does Authex ask for the ad to be stopped?

No. Authex records the ad and landing page with evidence and prepares a draft for the platform's complaint channel. The right holder or their lawyer files it.

Are impressions and spend available for every ad?

They are recorded as far as the ad library shares them; this differs by platform and region.
