We check your brand keywords obsessively so you don’t have to
Hi, we’re Alec and Andy. In 2023, after over a decade working in search marketing, we started to notice a HUGE uptick in fraud and affiliate hijacking. But no platforms were catching it — so we decided to tackle the problem ourselves.
From affiliate hijacking to brand bidding, voucher code fraud, and impostor websites, Marcode finds more fraud than other brand tracking software. Along with checking for fraud more accurately and frequently, we give you the tools and data you actually need to resolve issues quickly and move on with your life.
Plus, our user experience feels like it’s from this century (because, well, it is). Think of Marcode like a fancy doctor’s office: it’s so nice, you’ll almost forget you don’t want to be here.
