What you actually see in the dashboard

Six screens handle scoring, blocking, placements, analytics, audiences and the signals sent back to Google.

Core protection

Stop invalid clicks on every ad channel

Clicks are scored as soon as they reach your ads. If one is found invalid, its source is excluded in your ad account, preventing the same bot from spending your budget again.

  • Safe, Suspicious, Fraud or Fake assigned to every click
  • Automatic IP exclusions sent to your ad account
  • Use Monitor Only Mode to review the first classifications

Bot detection with custom rules

Identify non-human traffic, then set your own rules

ClickPatrol identifies non-human traffic with 99.97% accuracy. You then choose how it handles VPN, proxy and dark web traffic, plus how many times one IP may click before being blocked.

  • Six protection rules, all set to Algorithm by default
  • Up to five click threshold rules in each account
  • Whitelist or blacklist any IP manually

Placement controls

Remove placements that deliver nothing but bots

On the Placements page, every website, app and property that sent clicks is listed with its invalid share. Sort from worst to best, flip the toggle and your ads will no longer serve there.

  • Safe and invalid click totals shown together by placement
  • Predicted clicks saved and spend reallocated on each row
  • Exclude with one toggle, undo with that same toggle

Analytics and insights

See exactly where spend is wasted

Analytics separates your traffic into legitimate and invalid clicks each day. Reports then break those figures down by campaign, keyword, device and location, showing which parts of the account are being targeted.

  • Daily totals for legitimate, invalid and all traffic
  • Safe and blocked clicks as a share of your total
  • Save the view or export its numbers to CSV

Audiences

Keep bots off your remarketing lists

ClickPatrol sends an event for each visitor it classifies, so your lists build from clean traffic. Begin with an account-level exclusion for suspicious traffic, then rebuild your lookalike seeds using real people.

  • Events sent to GA4, Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and Bing Ads
  • Exclude suspicious visitors before targeting anyone
  • Lookalike seeds trained without bot traffic

Smart Bidding and billing

Train Smart Bidding with real people

Smart Bidding learns from the data you provide. ClickPatrol sends invalid activity back to Google, telling the algorithm to stop pursuing that profile. With the noise removed, bidding focuses on humans showing genuine intent.

  • Invalid activity reported to Google for you
  • Cleaner signals for Performance Max, Target CPA and Target ROAS
  • Google Ads invoice credits as a short-term bonus

Getting started

Set up your account in three steps

One tag works across every channel. Connect once in the Integration Hub and that protection follows wherever you buy clicks.

STEP 01

Connect every channel

Link your ad accounts, then add the ClickPatrol tag. For every channel, the Integration Hub includes a step-by-step guide, including Google Tag Manager.

STEP 02

Review the first classifications

Keep Monitor Only Mode enabled while ClickPatrol scores traffic without making changes to your ad account. Your first clicks appear within 30 minutes.

STEP 03

Let it block and report

Switch protection on. Invalid sources are automatically excluded, while the invalid activity goes back to Google on your behalf.
