Stop paying affiliates for players you already own.
Affiliates bid on your brand name and hijack your organic results, then intercept players who were already searching for you — so you pay CPA commission on customers you had already won.
€200 CPA charged for a player who searched the brand by name.
Watch a hijack happen, hop by hidden hop.
A player searches your brand and clicks a result that looks like you. Here is where the traffic actually goes — and who gets paid for it.

Evidence packs + weekly ROI reports
Each violation becomes a timestamped, hash-verified evidence pack — ready for your affiliate network and your regulator — alongside a weekly report of recoverable spend.
Proof your network can’t wave away.
Every confirmed violation ships as a self-contained pack: the verdict, the full redirect chain, screenshots, the HAR file, and the exact CPA you were charged — each artifact timestamped in UTC and hash-verified. It reads the same to your compliance team and to a UKGC or MGA auditor.
- SERP data sourced via SerpApi — we never scrape Google.
- Landing pages captured live through residential proxies.
- Loss modeled on your own CPA, not a generic guess.

sha-256 verifiedMost tools do one part of the job.
Detection alone, or a screenshot, or one channel watched in isolation, leaves the loop open. BrandShield closes it end to end — detection, forensic evidence, and recovery — across PPC and SEO, with the anti-cloaking depth and regulator-grade proof the recovery step needs.
- DetectionFlags suspicious ads, but only on one channel (usually PPC).Detects across paid and organic, on Google and Bing.
- Anti-cloaking depthDatacenter scans get shown the clean page and miss the hijack.Real browsers on geo-attested residential IPs see the real redirect.
- Forensic evidenceA screenshot or an alert — not something a network will action.Full redirect chain, HAR, screenshots, hash-verified and timestamped.
- RecoveryLeaves you to chase the affiliate network yourself.Evidence packs built for your network's compliance team and your regulator.
It catches what manual checks and basic scanners miss.
The value isn’t a buzzword — it’s that the system runs without you and sees what’s deliberately hidden. Here is exactly what that means.
Runs continuously, 24/7
Brand hijacking isn't a one-time check. Monitoring runs every day across your markets, so a violation that surfaces on a Tuesday morning is captured that same day — not whenever someone remembers to look.
Defeats cloaking
Hijackers gate their redirects by geo and device, showing scanners a clean page. Capturing through real browsers on residential IPs in your target market makes them show us the same chain they show your players.
Generates evidence automatically
Every confirmed violation is assembled into a complete, timestamped, hash-verified evidence pack without manual work — so the proof exists the moment the hijack does.
Buy points, run research.
1 research = 30 points = a full forensic scan of one brand in one region — every violation, court-grade evidence, and your estimated loss. No subscription, no seat math. You spend points only when you run a scan.
Early customers get 50% off every point they buy — a real founding rate, not a fake countdown or a fake seat limit. It simply holds until we decide to end it for new signups, and we'll say so plainly if we ever do.
Start free
Every new account is a gift of 60 points — that's 2 free researches to start. No card, no expiry. Run your first scan, see the real findings, then buy points only if you want more.

See your real losses on your first research — free.
Your starter points fund a full forensic scan of your brand in your real target market — the affiliates, the redirect chains, and the spend you could be recovering. No theoretical pitch. Your brand, your market, real findings.
The strongest proof we can offer is your own data. We run the scan, you keep the evidence — whether or not you ever buy a point. Once you've seen the real findings, buying points to keep scanning is the natural next step.
