Understanding the Problem
Why click fraud protection is critical for your Google Search campaigns.
What is Click Fraud?
Click fraud happens when someone—or something—clicks your ads with zero intention of becoming a customer. Competitors drain your budget with repeated clicks. Automated bots inflate your costs. Click farms generate worthless traffic. Every fraudulent click costs you money without any chance of conversion.
Why Protection is Critical
Without protection, 15-30% of your ad budget goes straight to fraudsters. That's not just wasted money—it's skewed analytics, false performance data, and business decisions based on corrupted metrics. ClickFortify ensures every dollar reaches real potential customers, not fraudsters.
How Google Search Campaigns Work
Understanding the mechanics helps you understand the vulnerability.
Keyword Targeting
You select keywords relevant to your business. When users search these terms on Google, your ads become eligible to appear in search results.
Ad Auction
Google runs an instantaneous auction. Your ad rank is determined by your bid amount, quality score, and expected click-through rate.
Ad Display
When your ad wins the auction, it appears at the top or bottom of search results. Users see your headline, description, and ad extensions.
User Clicks & Payment
Users click your ad to visit your website. You pay for each click based on your bid and auction dynamics—making every click valuable.
The Problem: High-intent search traffic comes with high costs per click (CPC). This makes Search campaigns the #1 target for click fraud, with competitors and bots specifically targeting your most expensive keywords.
Common Threats to Your Search Campaigns
Know your enemy—these are the four main types of click fraud.
Competitor Click Fraud
Rivals deliberately click your ads to exhaust your daily budget, especially on high-value brand and competitor keywords.
Budget drained before real customers see your ads. You lose visibility during peak hours while competitors take your traffic.
Bot Traffic
Automated scripts and software bots generate fake clicks that look legitimate but have zero conversion potential.
Skewed analytics make good campaigns look bad and bad campaigns look good. Bot traffic accounts for 40%+ of invalid activity in many industries.
Click Farms
Organized operations employ real people to manually click ads en masse, making detection harder than simple bot traffic.
Massive budget waste that looks like "real" traffic. These human-driven fraud patterns bypass basic protection systems.
Invalid Traffic (IVT)
Accidental clicks, app fraud, incentivized clicks, and non-genuine interest from low-quality traffic sources.
Poor ROI as your budget goes to users who will never convert, no matter how good your landing page is.
The ClickFortify Protection Layer
Six layers of defense between fraudsters and your budget.
Real-Time Analysis
We analyze every single click in real-time, examining 200+ data points including IP reputation, device fingerprinting, behavioral patterns, geographic data, and engagement metrics to distinguish real customers from fraudsters.
Automatic Blocking
Suspicious IPs are automatically added to your Google Ads exclusion list within 50 milliseconds—before they can click again. No manual intervention required.
AI-Powered Detection
Our machine learning algorithms identify sophisticated fraud patterns that basic filters miss, including competitor click signatures, click farm behavioral patterns, coordinated bot attacks, and VPN/proxy abuse.
Automations
Set different protection levels for each campaign based on risk profile. Apply aggressive blocking to high-CPC brand campaigns while using lighter filters for discovery campaigns.
Keyword-Level Monitoring
Identify which specific keywords are attracting the most fraud. Adjust bidding strategies and protection levels accordingly to maximize ROI on clean traffic.
