Use Cases and Deployment Scope

our personal experience :
we are a cloud-based company and our primary focus is B2B.most of the time, the services we feature in our ads are picked by individual users. providing a solution is not possible for both us and the single users. we wanted to reduce click waste because it's twice as detrimental. we are losing our paid ad clicks and users wasting their time.

solution :
ClickGaurd is a perfect puzzle that fits this problem, we went out and were actively seeking something that helps us with this.implementation : It is somewhat tricky and not entirely user-friendly,we needed a lot more help from google ad sense documentation and needed somewhat expertise as well. on ClickGaurd side, we required some documentation diving as well.

result :
we managed to reduce irrelevant and bogus clicks, not just that, our google ad sense also got protected from various malicious elements that we didn't even know existed. like click bots, clickfarms and botnets.

ROI :
we saved tonns of efforts on marketing front, both in reducing work, and reducing unneccessary ad clicks. our google ad campaign is generating good curves. strongly reccomends to anyone who wants to further imroved their ad campaigns.

  • filtering the bad traffic
  • prevents clickfarm attacks

Cons

  • integration is particularly somewhat challenging.
  • monitoring tools could have been bit better

Most Important Features

Pros

  • One of the great things about ClickGUARD to me is the realtime notifications. I also love the automatic malicious click deflection feature. This app has it all.

Cons

  • I honestly have nothing negative to say here but there is an opportunity for improvement, I'd say that maybe they need to simplify the setup process some more. Other than that it runs very smooth.

Return on Investment

  • Prior to acquiring Clickguard, I wasn't even able to trust the numbers I was seeing and my money was being wasted. Since getting this app, there has been a total turn around in conversions, and sales have increased.

ClickGUARD is great

  • I love that the support team is so willing to assist in any way they can. They are very knowledgable and provide accurate solutions.

Cons

  • This solution seems to works best with a higher click volume which works great for me.

Return on Investment

  • ClickGUARD gives you complete protection against fraud click activities when running your pay per click campaigns/Google ads, and the best part is that it needs little to no monitoring.

Clickguard put a real stop to the fraud click.
