Block bots before they cost you

Bots make up a large share of invalid ad traffic, from simple scrapers to sophisticated automated networks. ClickPatrol identifies them in real time using 800+ data points per click and blocks them from seeing your ads again.

On top of automatic detection, you can add custom rules that block by geography, device, network or behaviour, so protection fits exactly how your business runs.

What is click fraud protection?

Click fraud protection is software that automatically detects and blocks invalid clicks on your paid ads: the clicks that come from bots, click farms, competitors and scrapers instead of real potential customers. Rather than paying for traffic that never converts, you keep your budget focused on genuine prospects, and your analytics stay clean enough to make good decisions.

Across the 1,793+ businesses ClickPatrol™ protects, invalid traffic regularly accounts for 10-20% of paid clicks, and can exceed 20% in competitive, high-CPC verticals. That is budget recovered the moment protection is switched on.

The cost of click fraud adds up fast.

If 15% of your traffic is invalid, roughly €15 of every €100 you spend is wasted before a real prospect ever sees your ad. On a €10,000/month budget that is €1,500 going straight to bots, competitors and scrapers.

Every fake click ClickPatrol™ blocks keeps more budget available for real prospects who can actually convert.
