If you or your customers have a registered trademark, do a simple search using it to check if there are no competitors using it against the Google rules and the competition laws, in their Google ad campaigns as part of the title or the description.
If you do not have registered trade mark, maybe it is a time to do so and to reduce the expense competing for betting on your not registered brand in Google campaigns.

Treating trademark monitoring as a routine operational check is part of running a defensible brand. It closes the gap between legal protection and real‑world search visibility, ensuring competitors cannot quietly erode your brand equity through paid search tactics you never see.
Even when a brand name is not a registered trademark, having it formally registered as a business name at country level (for example, through the CRO in Ireland) still strengthens credibility, supports E‑E‑A‑T signals, and provides an additional layer of identity protection.
A verified business name with an official registration number and certificate—such as 1 Euro SEO’s own registration — helps establish authenticity and reduces the risk of competitors exploiting your brand in search or ads.
