Counterfeit listings
Find unauthorized sellers, fake listings, and knockoff products across major marketplaces.
Brand protection at internet scale
The surfaces counterfeiters hide on were not built for agents. Browserbase runs real browsers that scan marketplaces, ad networks, and search results for counterfeits and impersonators, under one API key. Continuous monitoring, no blind spots. SOC-2 Type II certified.
The Problem
Why brand protection breaks at scale
- Counterfeit listings get reposted faster than you can take them down.
- Marketplace and ad network sites block automated scans within minutes.
- Impersonator accounts and lookalike domains appear across dozens of platforms at once.
- Manual reviews catch a fraction of what is actually out there.
- Regional counterfeit activity stays invisible without geo-distributed monitoring.
The Solution
How Browserbase powers always-on brand protection
- Real browsers: load marketplace and ad pages exactly the way a real shopper sees them.
- Verified: reach the platforms that turn away ordinary monitoring tools, with no per-site tuning.
- Agent Identity: Web Bot Auth signs your agent's requests, so the platforms you monitor can verify it instead of guessing.
- Geo-distributed proxies: surface counterfeits, ad impersonations, and lookalike sites region by region.
- Parallel sessions: sweep thousands of listings, ads, and domains in a single pass.
- Structured output: feed clean evidence into your takedown, legal, and case management workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is brand protection?
Brand protection is the practice of monitoring the internet for unauthorized use of a brand, including counterfeit products, fake listings, brand impersonation, lookalike domains, and trademark misuse. Most brand protection programs combine continuous web monitoring with takedown workflows and legal escalation.
How does Browserbase support brand protection?
Browserbase provides the headless browser infrastructure that brand protection workflows run on. Teams use it to scan marketplaces, ad networks, search engines, and domain registries at scale, with Verified access and geo-distributed proxies so monitoring keeps working on sites that turn away ordinary tooling.
Why is online brand protection important?
Counterfeits, impersonator accounts, and lookalike domains erode revenue, damage customer trust, and create legal exposure. Online brand protection catches these issues early, before they spread, by sweeping the public web continuously rather than reacting to customer complaints.
Can Browserbase monitor sites that block scrapers?
Yes. Browserbase runs real Chrome browsers with Verified access and managed residential proxies, so monitoring keeps working on marketplaces and ad networks that turn away off-the-shelf tooling. Sessions can be geo-targeted to catch counterfeit activity that varies by region.
How is this different from a brand protection platform?
Brand protection platforms package detection, evidence, and takedown into a single product. Browserbase is the underlying infrastructure those workflows run on. Teams use Browserbase when they want to build their own monitoring logic, extend a third-party platform, or scale internal brand protection programs without managing browser fleets.
