Fully Automatic Click Fraud Protection

Here's How It Works

The click

The click on the ad (search network, shopping or display) passes through our monitoring funnel in under 100ms – faster than the blink of an eye.

Data collection

When passing through the monitoring funnel we collect over 110 pieces of unique data, including IP address, device ID, resolution, user agent, location and more.

Data analysis

We analyze and cross-reference this data in real time with our existing bank of fraudulent devices/activity and global blacklists, as well as using machine learning & heuristic analysis to identify new fraudulent activity not seen before.

Click quality check

If our algorithm detects that the click was fraudulent, that user is blacklisted and can no longer see your ads. We'll also rank this click for our Click Threat Level™ detection.

The blacklist

Blacklisted users are blocked within Google Ads by adding them to a blacklist via the Ads API. We don't need managerial access for this, meaning your account is secure.

Avoid limits

Our unique Click Threat Level™ detection technology means that Google Ads 500 IP limit in the blacklist isn’t an issue – we ensure it’s always populated with the IPs most likely to commit fraud.
