Click fraud protection for e-commerce & retail

Keep Shopping, Performance Max and search budgets on real shoppers, not bots, scrapers and price-checking competitors.

  • Protects Shopping & PMax campaigns
  • Blocks scrapers & price bots

Stop paying for shoppers who never existed

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.

Click fraud protection across every ad channel

ClickPatrol™ protects paid traffic wherever you spend, blocking invalid clicks and fake engagement in real time across all your acquisition channels.

Protect your Microsoft Advertising campaigns from the same invalid traffic that drains Google Ads budgets.

Performance Max

Keep PMax Smart Bidding learning from real conversions by feeding it clean, bot-free signals.

TikTok Ads

Stop invalid taps and bot traffic from inflating your TikTok campaign metrics and wasting spend.

  • Junk leads and fake form fills waste your sales team's time
  • Remarketing lists fill with visitors who will never convert

  • Smart Bidding gets cleaner signals from real conversions

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.
