E. Filing trademark infringement suits (helps with 1 and 3) . So this is a legal route and a legal angle, but it works in a few different ways. You can write a letter or an email from your attorney's office, and most of the time that gets things closed. Actually, long story short, a friend of mine, who has a company, found that their product was featured on Amazon's website. They don't sell on Amazon. Nobody is reselling on Amazon. In fact, the product most likely hasn't even shipped yet. When they looked at the reviews, because they haven't sold many of their products, it's an expensive product, none of the people who left reviews were actually their customers. So they went, "What's going on here?" Well, it turns out that Amazon, in order to list your product, needs your trademark permission. So they can send Amazon an attorney's note saying, "Hey, you're using our product, our trademark, our brand name, our visuals, our images without permission. You need to take it down."
The other way you can go about it is through the Digital bolivia number data Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) protocol. You can do this directly through Google, where you file and basically say, "Hey, they took copyrighted material from us and they're using it on their website, and it's illegal." Google will actually remove them from their search results.
A but I bet you didn't know that. A few years ago there was an article on Wikipedia about me, Rand Fishkin. It was like a piece of Wikipedia. I don't like it. Wikipedia, it's out of control. Since I'm in the SEO world, I don't have a great relationship with the Wikipedia editors. So I actually lobbied them, on the talk page of the article about me, to take it down. Wikipedia has a lot of conditions under which a page can be removed. I believe I removed mine under the fairly unmentionable category, which I think probably still applies. It was very successful. So surprisingly, now, Wikipedia doesn't rank for my name, which means I can control the SERPs very easily. So a possibility there too.
F. Using brand advertising and/or influencer marketing to drive searchers to different phrases (helps with 5) . So what you call your product, how you market yourself is how most people will find you. If Minted wanted to switch from Minted cards to minted photo cards, and they really like the results of minted photo cards and have better conversion rates, they could start branding it through their ads and their influencer marketing.
It's not necessarily a legal angle,
