Why Trade Marking your company is a good idea
I recently had a client whose competition was targeting their brand name in Adwords.
Long story short Google now allows a competitor to use your brand name as a keyword, however if you have your brand name trade marked they can’t use it in their ad text.
One horror story I found:
“I remember one case where Yellow pages was bidding on an exact match to one of my clients brand names, sending that traffic to the directory (where that customer didn’t even show up on the first page.
Funny thing is, my client was still paying Yellow pages a bit of money. So they were in essence taking that money and using it to drive traffic to their competitors instead.”
A good example is Dominos chasing the keyword “Pizza Hut”, you can see they pop up at spot 2 in the Ads but do not mention that keyword in their text as that phrase is trade marked. Dominos can still chase the keyword “Pizza Hut”.
