1 Monitor
What a spot check never shows.
We search like your customers. Around the clock, from thousands of locations, on desktop and mobile.
Third-party ads often run only in the evening, only in certain regions, or only on mobile. Anyone who searches themselves now and then never sees them. That is why SEMSCOUT runs real searches, just like your customers: at random times around the clock, from thousands of locations per country, and on desktop as well as mobile.
- We check important keywords more often, longtail less often
- Every check saved with time, location, and device
- up to 200 timesdaily per keyword, tiered by priority
- Thousands of locationsper country, from pools with millions of proxy IPs
- Real search querieson desktop and mobile, as your customers see them
- More than 50 countriesavailable worldwide, each country with its own locations
2 Detect
Not every third-party ad is a problem.
Brand bidding and ad hijacking detected. Allowed activity stays quiet.
SEMSCOUT classifies every advertiser as competitor, reseller, voucher portal, or affiliate, and checks every ad copy for your brand and for terms you don't want to see. For affiliates, we follow the redirect to the network and partner ID.
- Ad hijacking detection, even behind disguised redirects
- Brand and compliance scanner with your own term list
- Approved partners stay out of the alerts
3 Document
In a dispute, evidence counts.
Every finding is documented before you see it.
For every third-party ad, SEMSCOUT automatically saves the ad and landing page as a screenshot, plus destination URL, redirects, time, location, and device. Archived in an audit-proof way and ready with one click as an evidence folder for your legal department, network, or search engine.
- Screenshots with timestamp and location
- Complete history per advertiser
- Evidence folder as a one-step download
- Ad
- Landing page
- Redirect chain
4 Enforce
A case is only done when the ad is gone.
You respond in minutes. SEMSCOUT checks whether it works.
From every finding, you start the right response directly in the platform: a letter from your template, a trademark complaint at Google or Bing, or a handoff to your team. After that, SEMSCOUT checks on its own whether the ad disappears and keeps the history of every partner.
- Email templates for notice, warning, and ban
- Trademark complaint prepared with all evidence
- Automatic follow-up check after every action

Questions before you start.
Which search engines does SEMSCOUT monitor?
Google and Microsoft Bing, each with real searches on desktop and mobile, in over 50 countries. With a 90 percent market share, Google is the most important search engine and is covered in all countries on desktop and mobile. Local search engines with a meaningful market share, such as Seznam in the Czech Republic, are covered as well.
How much effort is the start for us?
Little. We need your most important brand keywords, set up the monitoring, and agree with you which partners may advertise on your brand. After that, you receive your access.
Some partners are allowed to bid on our brand. Will that cause false alarms?
No. You assign approved partners to a separate category that is exempt from the alert rules. The term list for ad copy still applies to everyone.
Can our agency work with SEMSCOUT?
Yes. You create separate accounts with tiered permissions, for example for a single brand only or read-only.
