Definition
What is branded search defense?
Branded search defense is the practice of bidding on your own brand-name queries in Google Ads to capture branded clicks competitors might otherwise win. Branded keywords have the lowest CPCs and highest conversion rates of any campaign type. Skipping branded defense cedes brand-intent traffic to competitors who bid on your name.
