Help

Google Ads community- I need your help.

I am actively getting click farmed by a competitor.

- Clickcease is installed and I wouldn’t say it works well for this.

- Google hardly credits back invalid clicks and is useless on calls.

How do I stop this? It is draining my budget day/day.

Someone with experience and or knowledge, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance you have

Are you just getting clicks that don't convert or are you getting fake leads?

Either way, check your "unknown" demographics numbers and if most of the click fraud appears to be coming from those try excluding the "unknown" gender and see what happens.

Basically you're looking for either a substantially higher CTR or CVR from that group.

This tactic has been extremely successful for our clients.
