The good news: About 2 in 3 fake clicks come from repeat offenders. Block them properly once, and they stay out. New to the topic? Read what ad fraud is and how it costs you money.

The real cost

The fake click costs less than what it teaches your campaigns.

  1. 1

    You pay for the click. A bot fills your form. Google and Meta count it as a win.

  2. 2

    You pay for the lesson. Google and Meta learn from it and send you more traffic just like it.

  3. 3

    You pay your sales team to chase leads that were never real.

Raise the budget before fixing this, and you buy more of the same junk.

If we don’t find at least 3 real issues wasting your ad budget or filling your sales pipeline with junk leads, each with proof and a clear fix, you get every cent back. No forms. No fight.

This is for you if…

  • You spend $10K+ a month on ads
  • Your ad reports look great, but sales says the leads are junk
  • You let Google or Meta’s automated campaigns pick who sees your ads
  • You pay for a fraud tool and aren’t sure it works

Not for you if you spend under $5K a month. Google’s own filters likely cover you. Save your money.

Straight answers

Doesn’t Google already filter invalid clicks?

Yes, a lot of them. We find what slips through, plus the junk leads Google can’t see.

How do I know if I have click fraud?

Common signs: clicks climb while sales stay flat, forms fill up with fake names or numbers, traffic spikes from places you don’t sell to, and sales can’t reach the leads. Each of these can have other causes, like tracking gaps, so the audit checks the data before calling anything fraud.

Do I still need a click fraud tool like ClickCease?

Maybe. A tool blocks known bad sources as they arrive. The audit checks whether yours is set up right, what it misses and whether it’s worth what you pay. Some accounts need one and some don’t.

Can you stop all fraud?

No one can. We cut it, measure it and keep adjusting as bots change.

Can you get my money back?

We build the proof and help you ask for a credit on your ad account. Whether you get one is the platform’s call.

Every day you wait, you pay for bot clicks that will never become customers.
