Automated fraud

Software clicking your ads at scale, hiding behind servers and proxies.

Bots & automated traffic

Headless browsers and scripts that click with zero intent. Fingerprinting and behavior scoring catch them even when they rotate IPs.

How bot blocking works

Data-center traffic

Clicks from cloud servers and hosting networks, not real homes or phones. ClickFortify flags data-center IP ranges and excludes them in Google Ads.

Invalid traffic explained

VPN & proxy traffic

Clicks hiding their location behind data-center, VPN and proxy networks, flagged from the first click.

VPN traffic protection

Fake human clicks

Real people paid or motivated to click your ads, or to fill your forms with junk.

Competitor clicks

Rivals clicking your ads to drain your daily budget. ClickFortify spots repeat offenders and excludes them in Google Ads, with evidence you can review.

Spot competitor clicks

Click farms

Paid workers on real devices generating “human” clicks. Behavior analysis exposes engagement that never converts.

What is click fraud

Fake leads & form spam

Bots filling your lead forms with fake details, wasting sales time and training your campaigns on the wrong people.

Fraud-filtered conversions

Wasted, off-target clicks

Clicks that cost money but were never going to convert.

Low-intent clicks

Misclicks, junk placements and made-for-ads sites that burn budget without intent. Source quality scoring cuts the waste.

Build exclusion lists

Out-of-area clicks

Clicks from countries and regions you never targeted, often behind spoofed locations. ClickFortify flags location mismatches on the click.

How device fingerprinting works

Junk app placements

Low-quality apps and sites in Audience Network that send accidental and fake clicks. Bad publishers go to your Meta block list.

Click fraud protection for your Google Ads and Meta campaigns

In Google Ads, ClickFortify excludes fraud IPs automatically across Search, Display, Shopping, Demand Gen and Performance Max. Meta has no IP exclusions, so protection there works on the leads, conversions and placements instead.

Covers Google Ads and Meta Ads only. Microsoft Ads and TikTok Ads are not supported.

Questions about ClickFortify, answered

How it works, what Google already does, and setup.

  • ClickFortify scores every paid click on 100+ data points across device, network and behavior signals. On Google Ads, ClickFortify excludes the IPs it flags as fraudulent from your campaigns automatically. On Meta, it flags suspicious conversions and, when the CAPI proxy is enabled, drops or tags them before Meta receives them. Microsoft Ads and TikTok Ads are not supported.

  • Partly. Google filters some invalid clicks before you are billed and credits some it catches later, but it reports only aggregate invalid-click totals. It doesn't show which clicks or why. ClickFortify scores each paid click, excludes flagged IPs in Google Ads, and logs every flag with the signals behind it, so you can check every decision.

  • ClickFortify is designed not to. It flags a click on its combined device, network and behavior signals rather than a single trait. Every flag is logged with the signals behind it, so you can review any exclusion. On Meta, ClickFortify never blocks visitors by IP. It drops or tags flagged conversions instead.

  • One script. Add the ClickFortify snippet to any website, or deploy it through Google Tag Manager. Then connect your Google Ads or Meta Ads account through secure OAuth. You don't need to rebuild your site. ClickFortify scores paid clicks that land on pages carrying its script.
