Case Study: CLICKPlacement eliminates click fraud and wasted ad spend with ClickGUARD

Stopped click fraud and reduced wasted ad spend from 40% to 0% in just three days

CLICKPlacement, a Texas-based digital marketing agency, was running Google Ads for a major education-sector client when bots began filling out lead forms and driving up conversions that didn’t translate into real value. The company saw 40% of its daily ad budget disappear into suspected fake traffic, and Google offered no effective fix.

ClickGUARD stepped in to identify and block fraudulent clicks, suspicious IPs/VPNs, and risky traffic sources like Google Search Partners, while tailoring protection to the campaign structure. With ClickGUARD in place, CLICKPlacement eliminated 40% of wasted spend, reached full protection in just 72 hours, and saved thousands of dollars each month.
