Brand launch protection
Affiliates, squatters and impersonators start the day a brand is announced. We secure domains and handles, seed entity signals, prepare owned assets and switch on monitoring before go-live.
Pre-launch checklist
- Name and trademark check per launch GEO; look-alike and existing-brand conflicts
- Defensive domain registration: TLDs, ccTLDs, typos, look-alikes
- Social handles and app names secured on all major platforms
- Entity groundwork: Organization schema, consistent profiles, press kit, Wikidata eligibility
- Owned assets drafted: bonus, app, login, help, trust pages — published on launch day
- Affiliate programme terms with brand bidding and content rules per GEO
- Monitoring configured: SERPs, domains, ads, apps, social — live from announcement

Frequently asked questions
How early should this start?
As soon as the name is chosen — ideally before it is announced or trademarked publicly. Squatters monitor trademark filings and press.
What do you register defensively?
Main TLDs and country TLDs for launch GEOs, common typos and look-alikes, social handles on all major platforms, app names where possible. We prioritise by risk and cost.
How does this relate to brand launch SEO?
Brand launch SEO gets the site ready to rank; brand launch protection makes sure nobody else ranks or impersonates you first. We usually run both as one project.
Brand launch protection: secure a new brand before launch
Brand launch protection starts the day a name is chosen, because squatters monitor trademark filings and press and affiliates start building "[brand] bonus" pages the moment a launch is announced. Protecting a brand before launch means defensive domain and handle registration, entity groundwork, owned assets ready to publish on day one, affiliate programme rules with brand-bidding and content clauses, and monitoring switched on from the announcement.
