TrafficShield scores every click in real time, blocks bots, VPNs and click farms, and syncs the block list straight to your ad accounts — across Google, Microsoft and Meta.
One script on your site. Everything after that is automatic — detection, blocking, and syncing to your ad accounts.
Paste one line before </head> on your landing pages. It fingerprints every visitor and reports the paid ones.
The engine weighs 20+ signals — device rotation, VPNs, click farms, velocity, timezone tricks — and flags fraud the moment it lands.
Fraudulent IPs and devices sync straight to your Google, Microsoft and Meta accounts, so your budget only pays for real people.
Most click-fraud tools block IP addresses. Attackers rotate IPs in seconds. TrafficShield tracks the device behind the traffic — so blocking actually sticks.
When one device hits your ads from dozens of rotating residential IPs, IP-based tools see dozens of "new" visitors. We see one attacker — and block the device across every address it hops to.
Commercial VPN ranges, Tor exit nodes, WebRTC leaks and timezone mismatches — the tells of someone hiding where they really are.
Sophisticated fraud stays under simple click limits by returning day after day. We track behaviour over weeks and catch the pattern.
One ad link replayed across many devices poisons your audiences and conversion data. We flag it before it does damage.
Only paying to reach your service area? Block clicks from everywhere else — right down to the city.
Tune click-frequency caps, penalty weights, whitelists and auto-block behaviour. Aggressive or conservative — you decide where the line sits.
Export a clean, timestamped record of every fraudulent click — formatted as the evidence you need to claim invalid-click refunds from Google.
Connect your ad accounts once. TrafficShield detects fraud on each platform the way that platform actually works — and enforces it automatically.
Fraudulent IPs sync straight to your campaign exclusion lists — automatically, and always under Google's 500-per-campaign cap.
Same automatic IP-exclusion sync for the Bing network — the older, high-intent desktop traffic most advertisers overlook.
Facebook and Instagram don't allow IP blocks, so we build exclusion audiences and surface bot engagement so you can cut wasted spend.
TrafficShield is the productized version of the fraud defense we built to protect our own ad spend across a fleet of local-service businesses running paid search every day. Every detection rule in the engine came from a real attack on a real campaign.
Before TrafficShield had a name, this was the traffic-monitoring stack running inside our own businesses:
The attacks that shaped the engine:
Most tools in this space charge enterprise prices for IP blocking. We built the deeper engine and priced it for the businesses that actually get hit.
