If you work in paid search, you may have heard about the importance of paid search monitoring. If not, read the first post in this two-part series, where we explain the many reasons why paid search monitoring is a no-brainer for PPC professionals.

There are too many search marketing tool roundups. There, I said it! I know because before writing this post, I researched other ones like it. Paid search tools kept coming up in our recent eBook on Expert PPC Tips, and I figured there must be some centralized resource about the available set of options.

Hello! My name is Todd, the product designer here at BrandVerity. I'm really excited to share a product design update that we are launching today!

As a designer, I'm constantly looking for ways to improve our customers’ experience within our app. I'm passionate about making BrandVerity easier to use because I recognize how busy you are. That's why I tackled this redesign - to make it easier for you to navigate, scan, and take action within BrandVerity.

Our design aesthetic has always emphasized a key strength of ours: quality data. We’re proud to provide you with trustworthy, actionable data, and we’ve taken a minimalist approach to design for that very reason. This redesign builds on that focus, improving clarity and making it easier than ever for you to find information and take action. So, here’s what’s new!

What do Slippery Skip, Loudmouth Luke, and Tommy Two-Face have in common? They are all monsters of paid search that are relentlessly and secretly attacking your PPC. Every day, these monsters take thousands of clicks away from your brand. In fact, during Q1 of 2017 alone, we found that these trademark bidders stole 49 million clicks from brands.

Never heard of these monsters? That’s because they are very good at hiding! Our latest eBook is a field guide for the digital marketer, giving you the rap sheet on these trademark bidders. In the eBook you’ll learn where these monsters prowl, what tactics they use to steal your traffic, and how to identify them. We’ll also tell you what to do once you catch them.

Trademark bidding is a serious problem that costs brands millions of dollars each year.

In Q1 of 2017 alone, trademark bidders stole 49 million clicks from brands across the 10 industry verticals we monitor in our quarterly Branded Keywords Report.

We decided to take a closer look at the retail vertical to specifically see which brands are most abused in PPC. This report includes a list of the 25 retail brands who are losing the most to trademark bidders. All of the brands on the list are household names, but you still may be surprised to see which ones made the top 25.
