$240K Recovered in ad spend

"We stopped guessing and started recovering money. The reports made it easy to show Google and Meta exactly which sessions were invalid, and the refunds followed much faster than we expected."

"The difference was proof. Network filters gave us a rough estimate, but the on-site evidence let us recover a much larger share of spend with confidence."

How does BotRefund differ from traditional click fraud tools?

Tools such as CHEQ and other click-fraud blockers focus on filtering suspicious traffic. BotRefund protects your conversion signals and helps recover invalid spend from Google and Meta—without asking for your ad-account credentials.

Traditional Click-Fraud Tools

Traffic filtering and account-connected controls

Useful for filtering suspicious traffic, but limited when enterprise budgets and confidential campaign data are at stake.

  • IP blacklists miss modern botnets

    Rotating residential proxies and mobile gateways make static IP blocking ineffective. Google’s 500-IP exclusion limit cannot keep up with transient bot networks.

  • Account access can expose confidential data

    Many account-connected workflows require access to your Google Ads data. Your campaigns contain sensitive commercial information; BotRefund never asks for Google Ads or Meta login credentials.

  • Filtering clicks is not recovering money

    Once invalid spend has left the account, basic blockers do not prepare the claim or negotiate with Google and Meta to recover it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about case studies, proof, negotiation, and how BotRefund works in practice.

Can I see real case studies before I talk to sales?

Yes. You can start with our public case studies page, and if you want industry-specific proof we can send more anonymized examples during a sales call or presentation.

That way you can compare the traffic pattern, the evidence package, and the kind of refund workflow that matched a client like you.

What exactly do you detect?

We look at 80+ signals across behavioral, browser integrity, hardware, network, and ad-attribution layers.

  • Behavioral signals like mouse dynamics, click timing, typing rhythm, scroll behavior, and session depth.
  • Browser integrity signals like headless leaks, webdriver artifacts, permissions inconsistencies, and automation globals.
  • Hardware and network signals like GPU, WebGL, audio, fonts, timezone, ASN, VPN/proxy, DNS, and WebRTC mismatches.
  • Evidence signals like rrweb recordings, click IDs, and campaign-level context.

If you want the full list, we can walk through it in a presentation and show how each category feeds the report.

Can you show proof from Google or Meta?

Yes. During a sales talk or presentation we can show anonymized approval emails, credited account examples, sample reports, and walkthroughs of how the evidence package is assembled for each platform.

Some materials are shared live because they are client-specific, but the point is to show that the proof is concrete, not just a slogan.

How do you get refunds approved?

We package the evidence the way traffic-quality reviewers expect it: session recordings, timestamps, click IDs, campaign names, and a factual explanation of why the session was not human.

  • Start with a clean summary of the suspected invalid traffic.
  • Attach the proof package and keep the language factual.
  • Escalate to the right Google or Meta reviewer when the first response is generic.
  • Use negotiation tactics that focus on documented evidence, not opinion.

That negotiation work is a big part of the service.

Do you need access to my ad account?

No. We do not need your ad login to start. We monitor your site traffic and bot behavior, while your ad credentials stay with you.

For many larger accounts, the service stays free until we secure a real refund. That keeps the barrier low while still letting us do the core work, which is traffic monitoring and negotiation.

Will it slow down my website?

No. BotRefund’s tracking script is fully asynchronous and has zero impact on your page load speed or Core Web Vitals.

The script loads after the page renders and does not block images, fonts, or stylesheets.

We built it specifically for performance-sensitive advertising sites. The detector runs only the checks required to identify bots.

4 signals you need bot protection for your ad spend

If even one of these is happening, your dashboards show activity while your budget is funding someone else’s business. These are the signals to investigate before you spend more.

01
Campaign Volatility

Launch performance degrades even with identical creatives and targeting

Why this signals bot activity: When you launch a campaign, automated scrapers and bots interact with ads and trigger early engagement events. Google and Meta algorithms mistakenly treat these bot clicks as high-intent engagement and optimize future ad spend toward similar non-human profiles—poisoning campaign learning before genuine buyers arrive.

How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund suppresses tracking pixels in real time for bot sessions so algorithms only train on verified human buyers, while compiling timestamped click ID proof and session recordings to recover wasted ad budget.

02
PMax & Display Traffic Spikes

Ad clicks surge across partner publisher networks with zero revenue

Why this signals bot activity: Performance Max and programmatic campaigns automatically distribute your ads across thousands of publisher websites. Low-quality publishers deploy automated bot fleets to view and click ads at scale, turning your $1–$3 CPC ad budget directly into their publisher payouts without delivering real human interest.

How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund audits placements at the session level, uncovers click-farming publisher domains, and produces evidence packages so you can exclude toxic placements and claim cash refunds from Google.

03
Lead Quality Drop & Budget Burn

Daily search ad budget is wiped out by noon with fake leads or no calls

Why this signals bot activity: Competitors and click farms use rotating residential proxies to deliberately click your high-CPC Google Search ads in the morning. By exhausting your daily ad budget by 11 AM, they wipe your business from top search positions so they can capture genuine customer demand for the rest of the day.

How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund detects competitor click fraud using device fingerprinting, mouse dynamics, and IP cluster analysis—producing verified click ID dispute logs that force ad platforms to credit back the drained funds.

04
Geo & Location Mismatch

Google Ads reports US visitors, but device telemetry shows overseas traffic

Why this signals bot activity: Your campaign targets California and Google bills you for US residential clicks. However, independent device telemetry reveals 15–25% of visitors have GMT+8 system timezones, Asian languages, and foreign browser signatures routed through US proxy IPs. You are charged top-tier US rates for disguised offshore bots with zero intent to buy.

How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund evaluates 110+ hardware, WebRTC, timezone, and network signals to expose proxy masking in real time, stops pixel contamination, and generates indisputable evidence to recover wasted spend from Google and Meta.

99% accuracy in bot detection

Many conventional bot-detection systems make an initial decision in 1–2 seconds using roughly 40–50 factors. BotRefund combines 110+ signals and continues observing how each visitor scrolls, clicks, types, moves, renders the page, and navigates the website—looking for evidence that an interaction is automated.

Network signal
Datacenter IP identification

Flags traffic that originates from hosted infrastructure instead of a normal consumer network.

Automation signal
Automation framework footprints

Detects browser signatures commonly left behind by scripted automation tools.

Rendering signal
Image rendering disabled detection

Identifies sessions that skip or suppress normal visual rendering behavior.

Device signal
Virtual/headless screen resolutions

Finds the screen sizes and viewport patterns common to headless environments.

Graphics signal
Software-based graphics rendering

Surfaces cases where graphics are rendered by software instead of normal hardware.

System signal
Server-grade Linux OS detection

Checks for operating system details that suggest a server or automation host.

Geo signal
Timezone & locale geo-spoofing

Compares browser settings against expected geography to catch masked locations.

Browser signal
Browser integrity & permissions

Looks for unusual permission states or browser integrity issues that weaken trust.

Fingerprint signal
Speech API & font anomalies

Detects mismatches in browser APIs and font availability that are common in bots.

Click behavior
Ghost click detection

Catches click activity that happens without the natural sequence of human intent.

Trap behavior
Honeypot trap interactions

Watches for bots that respond to hidden or intentionally deceptive page elements.

Pointer behavior
Robotic linear mouse movements

Flags unnaturally straight pointer paths that rarely appear in real user sessions.

Motion behavior
Absence of humanlike mouse tremor

Looks for the tiny imperfections and jitter typical of human movement.

Speed behavior
Superhuman input speed (<1ms)

Identifies interactions that happen faster than a person could realistically perform.

Path behavior
Grid-aligned movement patterns

Detects movement that snaps to precise lines or blocks instead of natural curves.

Engagement behavior
Absence of clicks or scrolling

Highlights sessions that stay too static to match a real browsing journey.

Session behavior
Unnatural session durations

Catches visit lengths that are too short, too long, or too uniform to be human.
