Our Story

Built by Advertisers, for Advertisers

MyClickShield helps advertisers investigate suspicious website traffic and use the controls supported by their advertising platforms. Its purpose is to make traffic review part of ordinary campaign management.

We saw a need for advertisers to investigate website traffic alongside their ad-platform reporting. Platform invalid-traffic filtering, website classifications and qualified business outcomes answer different questions, and a useful review brings those perspectives together.

We built MyClickShield to solve this problem. Our platform uses weighted detection signals — including device fingerprinting, behavioral analysis, and bot framework detection — to identify and filter invalid clicks in real time.

Today, we help advertisers review traffic across Google Ads, Meta Ads and Microsoft Ads workflows and configure supported protection actions. The objective is a clearer basis for decisions about traffic quality and advertising spend.

The Problem
  • Invalid traffic can affect advertising quality
  • A suspicious visit is not a verified financial loss
  • Platform and website reports have different scopes
  • Sophisticated bots mimic human behavior
Our Solution
  • 300+ weighted detection signals
  • Real-time analysis with reviewable action status
  • Bot framework detection (Selenium, Puppeteer)
  • Cross-platform protection (Google, Meta, Microsoft)

Our Technology

How We Detect Click Fraud

Our detection system analyzes every click across multiple signal categories

Device Fingerprinting

Canvas, WebGL, Audio context, screen resolution, installed fonts, and browser properties create a unique device identifier.

Behavioral Analysis

Mouse movements, click patterns, scroll behavior, and keyboard dynamics distinguish humans from automated bots.

Network Analysis

IP reputation, VPN/proxy detection, datacenter identification, and geolocation verification identify suspicious sources.

Bot Framework Detection

Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, PhantomJS, and other automation frameworks are detected through browser inconsistencies.

A note from leadership

"Click fraud is invisible until you measure it."

We started MyClickShield because we got tired of advertisers telling us the same story: "I think my ads are wasting money but I can't prove it." Google's filters miss the sophisticated stuff. The competitor tools either gate detection behind enterprise pricing or render reports nobody understands.

Our job is simple: show you exactly what's wasting your ad spend, block it before it costs you, and explain the math so you can defend the decision to your CFO. No hand-waving, no proprietary "AI" black box — just measurable wins on your ad account.

What should you expect from a click protection provider?

Beyond the feature list, you need an installation that works, reports you can understand and help when something goes wrong. Here are practical questions to ask when deciding whether MyClickShield suits your business.

Read moreRead less

Try a real task during the evaluation: checking a connection, investigating a visit or preparing a report. Notice where you need help and bring that question to support. The experience will tell you more about day-to-day use than a general product description.

Do you need ad protection, bot protection or a risk-data service?

Start with the problem you are trying to solve. If you manage advertising campaigns, you may want to inspect paid visits and use the account actions available for those campaigns. If bots are overwhelming a form or application, your website team may also need controls at those endpoints. If you are building a platform, you might want risk information that your developers can use inside it.

These needs lead to different purchasing questions. A marketer can try a dashboard and judge whether it helps explain suspicious visits. A developer evaluating an API needs documentation, a way to handle failures and time to maintain the integration. A publisher reviewing advertising inventory may need another type of reporting entirely. Describe your own situation when speaking to a provider: the affected website, source of traffic and action you need to take. That makes it easier to establish whether the product can solve the problem before you compare prices.

Do you need ad protection, bot protection or a risk-data service?: Paid ad traffic; Website abuse; Data for your application.
Paid ad traffic → Website abuse → Data for your application.

Who checks protection after the initial setup?

Decide who will check account connections and respond to unexpected traffic or customer complaints. In a small business, that may be the person already managing campaigns. In an agency, assign responsibility for each client. Keep the routine manageable: look for connection problems, review unusual changes and follow up on any unresolved visit or rule.

Leave a short handover note with the installation location, connected account IDs, important exceptions and where reports are kept. Include the steps to check after a website redesign, new checkout or staff change. If a customer cannot use a form, the next person should know where to look and whom to contact. Record why you changed a setting, especially when allowing an exception. That explanation is much more useful six months later than a list of addresses with no dates or reasons. Review access when someone joins or leaves the team.

Who checks protection after the initial setup?: Account contact; Regular checks; Help when something breaks.
Account contact → Regular checks → Help when something breaks.

What should you check before installing a traffic tracker?

Read the provider's privacy information, service terms and data-processing documents before installing a tracker. Identify the information the service uses and who in your business will access it. If someone else manages privacy or website consent for your organization, involve them early so the installation fits the way your site is set up.

Ask specific questions where the documents do not answer your needs: how long records are kept, how access is managed, what you can export and what happens when you stop using the service. Check the tracker with your existing consent configuration and other website tools. Keep visitor records and account credentials out of public contact forms; agree an appropriate support route if an investigation needs sensitive information. Save the relevant documents and the date you reviewed them. Revisit the setup when you change the website, advertising accounts or the people who can access the reports.

What should you check before installing a traffic tracker?: Information collected; People with access; Privacy and contract terms.
Information collected → People with access → Privacy and contract terms.

What information should you include when contacting support?

Tell us which website and advertising platform are affected, what you expected to happen and what you saw instead. Include when the issue started and whether anything changed shortly beforehand, such as a new landing page, tag-manager update or account permission. A missing visit, a disconnected account and an unexpected flag need different checks.

For a particular visit, include its approximate time and the relevant record details. For an installation problem, provide the affected page and how the snippet was added. Remove passwords, payment details and unnecessary personal information from screenshots. If support needs more sensitive records, ask how to share them appropriately. When you receive a suggested change, confirm which account or page it applies to and what result to check afterwards. Keeping the conversation tied to one reproducible example usually makes troubleshooting easier than sending a large export without explaining the problem you want solved.

What information should you include when contacting support?: Website and campaign; Time and symptoms; Example record.
Website and campaign → Time and symptoms → Example record.

How to investigate a sudden increase in ad clicks

Suppose a campaign suddenly receives more clicks without more enquiries. Before investigating, you only know that costs have risen. Pausing the campaign may stop the spending, but it can also stop genuine customers reaching you. Start by noting the affected dates and checking whether you changed the budget, targeting, offer or landing page around that time.

Next, inspect the traffic source and a few visits from the affected period. Test the enquiry form yourself. If you find a page problem, repair it. If a particular group of visits looks suspicious, review the available protection settings for that campaign and record the change you make. Afterwards, watch both the suspicious activity and genuine enquiries. This before-and-after example shows how to narrow the response. To assess your own result, compare similar days and keep other campaign changes in the record so you can see what helped.

How to investigate a sudden increase in ad clicks: Before: rising clicks; Check the cause; After: targeted action.
Before: rising clicks → Check the cause → After: targeted action.

Which customer reviews are useful when choosing a provider?

Look for reviews that describe something you expect to do yourself: installing the tracker, finding a flagged visit, connecting an account or asking support for help. A review from an agency managing several clients may be especially useful to another agency. A shop owner running one website may have different priorities.

Check when the review was written and whether it refers to the plan or feature you are considering now. Note recurring questions, then try those tasks during your own evaluation. If several reviewers discuss the reports, open a report and see whether you can understand it without help. If support matters to your team, bring a real setup question to the conversation. Customer feedback can help you judge the day-to-day experience, while your own campaign data will be needed to assess results. Keep those two questions separate when deciding whether the service suits your business.

Which customer reviews are useful when choosing a provider?: Similar business; Specific experience; Questions for your trial.
Similar business → Specific experience → Questions for your trial.

What makes a before-and-after comparison useful?

Look for a clear starting point when reading a case study: the business, advertising channels, dates and problem being addressed. Check what changed and which result was measured. Fewer suspicious visits, lower advertising charges and more qualified sales describe different outcomes. The report should make clear which one actually improved.

Ask whether the business also changed its ads, budget, offer or landing page during the same period. Those changes may affect the result. If you want to run your own comparison, save the original campaign report and note each adjustment as it happens. Choose similar days and allow for the time customers normally take to buy. Use a relevant case study to prepare questions for your trial, especially about setup and reporting. The scenarios and diagrams here explain how to investigate a problem; they are not published customer performance results or a prediction of the saving your account will achieve.

What makes a before-and-after comparison useful?: Results before setup; Changes made; Results after setup.
Results before setup → Changes made → Results after setup.

What should a useful traffic report show?

Start your report with the campaign, dates and question you investigated. For example: enquiries fell after a new placement started sending traffic. Show the change in spend and qualified enquiries, then add a few visits that explain why you investigated that source. Include the action taken and any question that still needs an answer.

If the report goes to a client, explain unfamiliar terms the first time you use them. They should be able to see what happened without interpreting a list of IP addresses. Keep the detailed records available for the person checking the account. Where a change has been made, say when you will review its effect and what you will compare. A short report with a specific follow-up is easier to use in a campaign meeting than a long list of blocked visits with no explanation of how customers or advertising costs were affected.

What should a useful traffic report show?: Affected campaign; Example visits; Next action.
Affected campaign → Example visits → Next action.

How do you add protection to more websites?

Start with a website whose campaigns and customer journey you know well. Confirm that visits are recorded, the correct advertising account is connected and forms or checkout still work. Review a few records with the person who will manage that site. Write down the installation steps and any questions you had to resolve.

Use those notes when adding the next website, but check its own requirements. A shop, a booking site and a lead-generation page may use different domains, forms and tracking tools. Confirm the account IDs and conversion steps for each one. If a site needs an exception, record why rather than adding it to every account. Keep a way to reverse a change if genuine visitors encounter a problem. After each installation, check the first records and connection status before moving on. This makes it easier to find mistakes while the details of that setup are still fresh.

How do you add protection to more websites?: Start with one site; Check the setup; Add the next site.
Start with one site → Check the setup → Add the next site.

What should you check during your 7-day trial?

Pick one campaign you understand well. Install MyClickShield on its landing pages, connect the appropriate account and confirm that a test visit is recorded. Open a few traffic records to see whether you understand the information shown. Check the available response to a suspicious visit and make sure ordinary customers can still submit a form or complete checkout.

Try the tasks you will need after the trial: finding an affected campaign, reviewing a flag and explaining a result to a colleague or client. Write down questions for support as they arise. Before the trial ends, check the selected plan, when charging starts and how cancellation works. A quiet campaign may not produce enough sales in one week to judge a financial improvement. In that case, use the trial to assess installation, reporting and ease of use, and be specific about what you still need to learn.

What should you check during your 7-day trial?: Install and connect; Try real tasks; Review the plan.
Install and connect → Try real tasks → Review the plan.
