Better Traffic, ROI Maximization for Your PPC Ads

ClickGuard is in the business of making Google Ads traffic better for your business. Regardless of whether you are an agency or a demand gen professional, you know that every single click matters. With ClickGuard at your fingertips, you can finally get rid of all the wasteful & fraudulent clicks, so you can drive actual human traffic to your website. The days of wasting money on inefficient Google Ads campaigns are long gone.

You Decide How Protected You Want to Be

Our new, improved platform vows to make things easy for you while giving you the transparency and flexibility you need. Just toggle on/ off and choose the parameters you want ClickGuard to watch out for. And then lay back, relax, and watch your ads bring in traffic ready to convert. Just a couple of clicks. It's that easy.

Fast, Real-time Blocking

Unlike ClickCease, ClickGuard does not make delayed bulk exclusions. Instead, our real-time click processing platform takes immediate protective actions on your PPC accounts the moment a threat is detected. Additionally, all exclusions are documented, so you can check them out at any time. With ClickGuard, there are no delays to prevent you from taking immediate measures to protect your paid traffic in realtime.

Automated Click Fraud Protection

Click fraud is a multi-billion dollar problem. More than six years since we launched, ClickGuard is stronger, more data-driven, and more user-oriented than ever. We want you to feel safe when you spend money on PPC Ads - so our entire product is centered on ease of use, transparency, and efficiency. Everything is ready to be protected at the flick of a switch, so you can go about your day and focus on building and launching campaigns that work.

Proficient Bot Mitigation

Got bots? We'll spray 'em out. Our advanced bot mitigation software helps PPC advertisers spot bot behavior as soon as possible and block it from further accessing your ads. To make sure we're only blocking suspicious bot behavior, we take a multitude of factors into account, such as time spent on site, post-click interaction on site, and more. Each bot is then marked on a scale of suspicion, so it can be blocked according to the preferences you have pre-set. No black magic: just transparency & a database of billions of clicks our smart system has assessed over the course of the last six years.

Google Display Network (GDN) Protection

Both search and display (retargeting or broad placements) are powerful when used together, so the ability to detect and automatically exclude bad and underperforming GDN placements is critical for effective protection. Yet only ClickGuard provides automated analysis and exclusion of bad GDN mobile app and domain placement partners. ClickCease does not support automated GDN exclusion.

Invalid Traffic Blocking

Not all wasteful PPC traffic is click fraud. We're very much aware of that - and keen on fixing that problem too. The advanced invalid traffic blocking rules we've set up for you in the background are fully optimized to detect invalid traffic across any kind of PPC campaign you may be running. From now on, you're no longer at the mercy of publishers, insufficient data (from Google or other platforms), or obscure products that cannot explain what's going on with their system.

Advanced, Automatic Reports

We know your time is valuable - and limited. So we've made it easier than ever for you to generate the reports you need, automatically. You can set up recurrent reports in your ClickGuard dashboard or quickly generate one out of the database when you're on the run. No more manual copy-pasting. No more human error. No more time spent quadruple-checking between spreadsheets & tables. Just a couple of clicks so you can present your client or manager with an accurate, truly data-driven report of what's really going on in your PPC Ads campaigns.

Your Data, How You Want It

Need more control on how your PPC click fraud protection & invalid traffic blocking happens? No worries. We're data nerds too - so we get it. Our Pro Plan was built especially for those like you, who want to have access to more data, for longer periods of time.

Dedicated, Stellar Customer Support

No matter your ad spend or pricing package, we're really here for you, one email or message away. Advanced customer support is available for all ClickGuard customers, and we will always come back with a reply. That's a promise. Plus, full customer support is available for all our Pro ClickGuard customers. If you need help with anything on our platform, we will be there to provide it. Your Google Ads success is our main goal, so reach out and let's talk.

ClickGuard vs ClickCease, Who Wins?

If you are looking for a smooth, easy-to-use solution that helps you block click fraud, invalid traffic, and bots in Google Ads, ClickGuard's your long-term partner.
