The Brand Defense Playbook

How much to actually spend defending your brand name in search, sized from your own numbers instead of a 5% rule. The four-step system, the budget formula, and the click-by-click setup for the Paid & Organic report that proves it's working.

The four steps

01
Define your brand keywords

Pin down the exact set you'll defend: your name, and the predictable ways people search around it.

02
Size the budget

Set the number from your own account, not the five-percent rule of thumb.

03
Set up the campaign

Build it so brand only serves from where you want, at the position you want.

04
Track the lift

Prove the defense is worth it, from data you already have.

Rather have someone run it?

You can follow this yourself, or keep building your product and let me set it up and run the account. I manage around $1.6M a month in ad spend for tech startups, on the systems I've already built for clients scaling with paid.
