Brand Impersonation Protection & Takedowns
Impersonators dismantled at the infrastructure level. Fake websites, fraud accounts, and cloned apps found before they rank, and removed at the source.
THE PROBLEM
They’re not stealing your product. They’re stealing you.

Questions, Answered.
Everything you need to know before your first takedown.
How do I get a fake website impersonating my brand taken down?
Document the site, identify its host and registrar through a WHOIS lookup, and file an abuse or infringement report with them. Podqi automates the whole path: it detects impersonation sites early, packages the evidence, and files removal requests directly with hosts and registrars, so sites come down at the infrastructure level.
What is typosquatting?
Registering a domain that’s one character off your real one (podqi vs podpi, .co vs .com) to catch mistyped traffic, run phishing pages, or sell fakes. Podqi monitors new domain registrations for lookalikes and flags them before they can rank or run ads.
Can Podqi remove fake social media accounts?
Yes. Podqi detects imposter profiles, fake support accounts, and fraudulent ads across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and YouTube, then files reports through each platform’s IP and impersonation channels, tracked to confirmed removal.
How fast do impersonation takedowns happen?
Average resolution across clients is 1.2 days from detection. Registrar-level domain actions can vary, but because Podqi files through direct host and registrar integrations, they move much faster than the legal-letter route.
