Not sure how many copycats you have?

The free 360° report counts them for you across domains, marketplaces, ads, and social, so you can plug in a real number.

How it works

1

Diverted orders

Copycats × visitors per copycat × their conversion rate gives the orders they take.

2

Lost sales

Only a share of those buyers would have bought from you at full price, so we apply a substitution rate.

3

Hidden costs

Some of their customers contact you when the order never arrives or is poor quality. Each ticket has a cost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I estimate visitors per copycat?

Look at a few copycat domains in a traffic estimator, or use ad library data: an active ad campaign usually means thousands of visitors a month. If unsure, start low. The calculator is most useful for seeing the order of magnitude.

What is the substitution rate?

The share of copycat buyers who would have bought the genuine product if the copy did not exist. Shoppers hunting a bargain may never have paid full price, so it is rarely 100%.

Does this include brand damage?

No. Lost trust, lower ad performance, and bad reviews are real but hard to quantify, so they are left out. The estimate is conservative by design.
