Frequently Asked Questions
Is ClickPatrol approved by Google?
Is ClickPatrol approved by Microsoft Advertising?
ClickPatrol is validated by Microsoft and uses official APIs provided by Microsoft Advertising for integration with Bing campaigns. Approved tools must follow Microsoft’s policies for audience and signal exclusions applied through authorized account connections. ClickPatrol’s Microsoft integration uses the same official API pathway as its Google Ads connection.
What does Google approval mean for ClickPatrol?
Google approval indicates ClickPatrol integrates through official Google Ads APIs that Google recognizes for third-party click fraud and invalid traffic tools. Approved status is required for automated blocking workflows that write IP exclusions or audience updates back into live campaigns. Advertisers should verify any tool claims approval before granting account access.
Does ClickPatrol use official ad platform APIs?
ClickPatrol uses official APIs from Google and Microsoft rather than manual workarounds or unsupported login automation. Official API access is how ClickPatrol reads click data and applies real-time blocking rules inside connected ad accounts. Both platforms require approved integration methods for tools that modify campaign exclusions or audience membership.
