ClickGuardian
Chelmsford, Essex, UK
What it is
ClickGuardian detects and blocks fraudulent clicks, bots, and fake leads to protect paid advertising budgets. Its Verideon engine evaluates clicks using more than 100 signals, including IP address, device fingerprint, behavior patterns, VPN or proxy detection, and click timing. Google Ads IP exclusions are applied automatically; for Microsoft Ads, ClickGuardian supplies exclusion lists to apply because its API does not allow automatic exclusions. Other 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. The web and API service has plans from $49/mo and a 7-day trial; there is no free plan. Plans cover one business and its owned brands and websites, with monthly ad-spend limits from $6,000 on Starter to $50,000 on Scale. ClickGuardian describes its audience as businesses that depend on paid ads for leads, including lawyers, home services, and lead-generation businesses. It was founded in 2016 and is headquartered in Chelmsford, Essex, UK.
