What is ClickGUARD?

ClickGuard is a click fraud protection platform for Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and Meta Ads. It monitors paid traffic in real time, finds invalid clicks and blocks the sources before they drain ad budgets. It is built for in-house PPC teams, small businesses and agencies that manage many ad accounts.

How it works

ClickGuard tracks each paid click and scores it based on IP, device, location and on-site behavior. Clicks that match fraud patterns are excluded from campaigns automatically. These include VPNs, proxies, click farms, bots and repeat clickers. Users can let the rules run on their own or review and block threats by hand.

Key features

  • Real-time threat detection: Spots invalid traffic as it happens, not after budget is spent.
  • Custom blocking rules: Granular controls by IP, IP range, location, device and behavior.
  • Automation or manual control: Fully automated protection or hands-on review, per campaign.
  • Click maps and IP-level reporting: Shows where suspicious clicks come from and how they behave.
  • Multi-client management: Agencies can manage many client accounts from one dashboard.
  • Integrations: WordPress, Shopify, HubSpot, Wix, LeadPages and ClickFunnels.

Pricing and compliance

Plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. The platform is GDPR-compliant.

Results

Since 2016 the platform has protected millions in ad spend for over 3,100 companies. 99.8% fraud detection accuracy and an average 30% ROI increase after adoption.
