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.
  • clickbot protection
  • filtering the bad traffic
  • prevents clickfarm attacks
  • integration is particularly somewhat challenging.
  • monitoring tools could have been bit better
if you're big company who has niche market. and that niche market is somewhat similar to some nearby catagory that is irrelevant to you, ClickGaurd is perfect piece of puzzle here. distincts your relevant B2B traffic from single users who only requires pretty basic service. saves your click resource and efforts of lead generation.
  • identifies click wastes
  • protects from click farm attacks
  • integrates with Google Ad sense
  • we reduced our ad department efforts
  • we increased relevant customer hits
  • lead generation is on track as useless customers are elemenated
formerly know as PPC Protect, now known as Lunio. we side by side user lunio as well and only problem with lunio was pricing. no doubt lunio has better feature set to stack against ClickGaurd but we didn't required that many features to begin with. ClickGaurd is simple solution for us and we are planning to explore it full before moving to any other platform

ClickGAURD is used as a fraud detection and prevention tool. It has helped save thousands of dollars by maximizing pay-per-click revenue by eliminating illegitimate clicks. The users that we get on the app have better retention rates and high ARPU. ClickGAURD also helps with data reporting to help tailor our campaigns to get maximum ROI.
  • Intelligent fraud detection.
  • Improved Pay per click revenue.
  • Data reporting to help generate insights for optimization.
  • We don't get the data about the anonymous clicks hence can't improve there.
  • It takes some time to get smart and prevent fraud and initially ROI isn't that great.
  • One time deployment takes time and documentation isn't upto the mark.
ClickGAURD is highly suitable for detecting and preventing fraudulent clicks and helps generate higher revenues with the same marketing budgets. The reports created by ClickGUARD are also very helpful in understanding the impact and returns on the campaigns. It also helps identifies the geographies from where the fraudulent clicks are coming to help us take preventive measures. Having detailed documentation to get it deployed and get users onboarded quickly will be very helpful.
  • Preventing frauds and increasing the revenues.
  • Reporting system to generate insights and track campaign's performance.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • We have been able to increase the revenues by 30% using ClickGAURD.
  • The implementation took only a week and maintenance is not required.
  • Going through Documentation took some time, but the support team was there to help s well.
Highly customized packages to choose from made ClickGAURD our first preference. The reviews and word of mouth around ClickGAURD were pretty positive. The support team was easily reachable and helped clear all our doubts in the initial phase itself.

For permanently preventing unwanted clicks and clicking robots from harming your PPC campaigns, ClickGUARD is the program of choice. In my case, that is definitely the case, and it is a product I am happy to endorse. In order to defend our PPC campaigns against click farms and automated clicks that would otherwise drain our campaign's resources with little to no return, we turned to ClickGUARD.
  • The real-time notifications are one of the best features of ClickGUARD for me.
  • Automatic malicious click deflection is also a feature that I appreciate.
  • There have been instances where a large number of clicks were made, but the resulting conversions were much below expectations.
  • As a strong and useful tool, it baffles me why they don't support more languages.
  • While it's logical that there wouldn't be any assistance available on weekends or holidays.
For the most part, I'm pleased with the outcomes and would recommend this as a viable option to others. There's no need for me to question if it's working or not. ClickGUARD does exactly what it promises it will do. I've seen the findings, and I'm confident that I'll be safe. Full marks from me, because the app really pays for itself.
  • Automatic Malicious Click Deflection, IP Monitoring, Cross-Campaign Blocking, and other similar features.
  • In this case, there is a steady return on investment as well as additional benefits. With the money I save, the app is basically free.
