Fake clicks, bots and click farms are only part of it. The bigger drain is non-incremental traffic: excessive clickers with no intent to convert, and navigational traffic that would have found your brand anyway. All of it inflates cost and corrupts the data your optimisation depends on. TrafficGuard sits inside the advertising journey and verifies traffic in real time, before it reaches your campaigns. Our approach is surgical, not blunt force. Statistical invalidation removes the invalid and protects the genuine, with full transparency into exactly what was actioned and why. The result is cleaner signals, more accurate reporting, and ad spend that reaches real, high-intent users. One platform protects every channel that matters: - Search (Google Search & Performance Max) - Meta (Instagram & Facebook) - Affiliate - Mobile Start with a free 30-day audit in detection mode and see exactly how much invalid traffic is hitting your campaigns. Switch on prevention when you are ready. Backed by expert onboarding and responsive support, TrafficGuard is built to scale with your spend. Trusted by 10,000+ advertisers across multiple industries TrafficGuard is part of Adveritas, publicly listed and accountable on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:AV1).

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I really enjoyed the query interface that allows me to query my data and export the data. Also loved the funnel building interface that allows for multiple apps and build great user drop off funnels and also allows you to export the drop off audience, which can be used for retargeting the users. I really like the user interface and the level of detail the data provides. Kochava is specifically useful for our marketing attribution. I only really use Kochava to create smartlinks for emails & QR code creation. This application makes it easy. Everything is good. Cons I really wish that they could have built a non historical query interface, which has only limited resources to run queries on your data. So I had to rewrite my queries to use the standard Sql search interface, which wasn't very easy but it worked. Using the customer sql queries and downloading the custom reports is confusing. Sometimes I will try to match data I pull in the reports I download to custom sql queries and I cannot figure out how to make the data match. The only other tab I use is analytics. It was confusing at first and could use some more clarity. Nothing.		Pros from Real Users Pros Ease of use and efficiency, charts and filters in place, the most interesting part for us is the click report. The pricing model seems very fair, 2% of Ad spend and when the system saves me 10% of Ad spend from wasted clicks it's a no-brainer. It recognises and blocks fraudulent PPC clicks to save me money on my Google PPC campaigns. Highly recommend. It has easy to access dashboard and a live tracking ability to track immediately. It is fast and reliable. Great free intro to invalid click reporting. Brilliant for small to medium sized businesses. Great customer support and technical help. A lot cheaper than others on the market with great features too. Easy to so setup and clear UX. They're members of IAB and this means something in the advertising field. Most of the services are free Affordable PPC fraud IP prevention Overall Preferred Tool Effective & Efficient It is best for those who are running Google ads and facing invalid clicks by competitors, it stops fake clicks and does not allow fake clicks to ruin your budget. the most important thing is that it works and is effective, although my budget is not that impressive yet. Can see where fake clicks are coming from and which location and the total amount of PPC budget you are using on these.
