Delaying revenue often backfires, forcing companies to rely on aggressive monetization or higher support costs down the line.
 
You can report to Google, maybe bid smart on your name, no dirty tricks, keep it clean.
 
bidding on your name is legal, but using your trademark in their ad copy isn't. report it or bid on their name too.

A big competitor is bidding on my company name. When people search for me, their ad shows first. I don't want to spend money on my own name, but I'm losing sales. Is there a 'dirty' way to handle this or should I just report them to Google?

report trademark to Google and also run your own cheap brand campaign to take top spot.
 
yeah you can suggest a simple legit approach like this. I’d just say bid on your own brand keyword and improve ad relevance so you stay on top, reporting alone usually doesn’t solve it fast.
 
yeah you can, I usually just start bidding on my own brand keyword and improve ad relevance so I stay above them instead of relying only on complaints
 
Bid on your own brand keywords and report trademark misuse to Google if they’re using your name in ads.
 
google won't stop them from bidding on keywords, but if they use your brand name in the ad copy, you can report for trademark. only 'dirty' way is to bid on your own name to drive up their cpc so it becomes too expensive for them to stay there.
 
Yes you can run your own brand ads and check if they are using your trademark and also report any policy issues if needed.
 
Absolutely, you can get back at them by placing bids for their brand as well, however before doing so, ensure that you review the trademark policies of the pay per click marketing service you use.
 
Check where their ad sends people. If the page makes them think it’s your company, take screenshots before reporting it.
 
Check the ad copy first. Bidding on a brand name and using that brand name in the actual ad are two different things.
 
You can run your own brand campaign and protect your traffic. If they are using your trademark in their ad copy, report it to Google.
 
You can generally make a bid on your own brand name and boost your ad exposure. You should also keep an eye out for your competitor ads. if you have trademark so go with legal option as well.
