Block bots before they cost you

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.

Bots are not a single problem. They range from simple crawlers that are easy to filter to sophisticated automation that loads pages, moves a cursor and mimics a real session, and only layered detection catches the full spectrum.

ClickPatrol scores 800+ data points per click and combines that with custom rules you control, so you get both machine-learning breadth and business-specific precision.

Automatic detection handles the traffic that is objectively invalid: known bots, impossible device signals, coordinated networks. It works out of the box and needs no configuration.

Custom rules cover the grey areas that are specific to your business, such as regions you do not serve or devices that never convert for you. Together they let you protect against both universal fraud and your own edge cases.

Why advertisers rely on it

Machine-learning detection

Real-time pattern detection catches bots and non-human traffic with 99.97% accuracy.

Your own custom rules

Block specific regions, devices, IPs or behaviours that don't fit your ideal customer.

Set-and-forget

Once active, ClickPatrol blocks offenders automatically, no manual work.

Adapts as bots evolve

Real-time pattern detection updates against new automation techniques, so protection does not go stale as attackers change tactics.

Rules in plain terms

Block by geography, device, IP range, network or behaviour without code, so non-technical teams can tune protection themselves.

99.97% detection accuracy

ClickPatrol identifies bots and non-human traffic with 99.97% accuracy across more than 800 data points per click.

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.
