How to stop competitor click fraud

What does competitor clicking look like?

Usually repeated ad clicks from the same area, during business hours, by the same person/IP. No conversions, just budget burn.

How to protect

Automatically detect repeat IPs and exclude them from campaigns.

Block visitors who click the ad more than once the same day.

Define geo- and ISP-based custom rules.

Report fake clicks to Google as low value to improve your chance of automatic credit.

Automate it

Tracking this manually is impossible. Real-time protection blocks a suspicious IP within seconds before you even notice.
