3 Factual Steps to Request a Click Fraud Credit
Google’s automated systems miss thousands of sophisticated bots. To file a manual Click Quality Request, follow this process:
- Identify the GCLIDs: Collect the specific Google Click IDs associated with bot behavior.
- Compile Evidence: Use AdGuardian to export logs showing IP addresses, timestamps, and bot execution patterns.
- Submit Request: Use the official 'Google Ads Request for Investigation' form with your AdGuardian CSV attached.
Without Immutable Logs, Google will likely dismiss your claim as "already filtered by our automated systems."
Stop letting bots drain
your PPC budget.
Filing for Invalid Traffic Credits and Ad Fraud Refunds
The burden of proof is on the advertiser. If you can't show Google why a click was fraudulent, you won't get a credit.
AdGuardian gives you a dead-simple way to generate the forensic data required for successful ad disputes.
This guide explains how to secure a Google Ads refund for click fraud by identifying invalid traffic (IVT). AdGuardian provides the bot detection and click fraud analysis necessary to generate exportable logs designed for ad audits and refund requests.
Start Your AuditTurn "Denied" into "Approved"
Standard analytics like Google Analytics don't track the bot signals needed for a refund. We provide leverage by tracking fingerprints and network indicators.
When you can show exactly which clicks were automated, when they occurred, and their non-human execution patterns, your dispute becomes undeniable.
Stop guessing and start documenting your click fraud recourse.
