ClickGuardian
ClickGuardian detects and blocks fraudulent clicks, bots, and fake leads to protect paid advertising budgets. Its Verideon engine assesses clicks with more than 100 signals, including IP address, device fingerprints, behavior patterns, VPN or proxy use, and click timing. Google Ads IP exclusions are applied automatically; Microsoft Ads users receive lists to apply themselves because its API does not allow automatic exclusions. Features include real-time visitor scoring, custom block rules, campaign exclusions, and fake lead detection marked Beta. Live integrations include Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, WordPress, and Google Analytics; Meta Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, and Zapier are listed as coming soon. The service is available on the web and through an API. There is no free plan, and the listed trial is seven days. Starter costs $49/mo and covers up to $6,000/mo in ad spend, one website, and one Google Ads account. Higher plans list larger spend allowances and additional sites or accounts. Each plan covers one business and its owned brands and websites.
