How It Works

1️⃣

Visitor Clicks Ad

The snippet fires and sends IP, GCLID, device info, and referrer to ClickGuard.

2️⃣

Fraud Analysis

The server checks VPN/datacenter databases, counts repeat clicks, detects bots, and gives a fraud score.

3️⃣

Auto-Block

Fraud IPs are blocked. Use Google Ads Sync to push them to your campaign IP exclusions.
