About Digital advertisers lose billions every year to invalid traffic, and most do not know it is happening. 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).		About UTMGuard is a tool that connects with your Google Analytics 4 account and scans your tracking setup to quickly detect broken, malformed, or inconsistent UTM parameters that are corrupting your campaign attribution. In about 60 seconds, UTMGuard runs dozens of rule-based checks on parameters, flagging issues such as organic traffic incorrectly tagged with UTM parameters (which compromises SEO vs. paid traffic differentiation), invalid source-medium combinations, inconsistent naming conventions (case sensitivity, naming disparities), missing parameters, or internal links carrying UTM tags that distort analytics data. UTMGuard generates clear audit reports showing exactly which links or sessions are impacted, and provides guidance on how to correct or standardize tagging practices. By catching these errors early and enforcing consistent parameter rules, the tool helps preserve data integrity, ensuring your marketing spend attribution remains accurate and decisions based on GA4 reports.

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.
