What proof do I need to submit to Google Ads to get a refund for invalid clicks from Search Partners
What proof do I need to submit to Google Ads to get a refund for invalid clicks?
Direct Answer: Google requires a Click Investigation request with an evidence spreadsheet that includes the unique Google Click IDs (GCLIDs), precise timestamps, and behavioral proof that the clicks came from automated bots. BotRefund automatically captures and bundles this data into a dispute-ready report so...
What should a bot detection tool do when it sees a blocked challenge iframe anomaly?
Direct Answer: It should treat it as one piece of evidence, not a final answer. BotRefund sends the signal into its prediction AI and checks it against browser, network, device, and behavior data. The page explains that a single anomaly is not a bot...
What should a bot detection tool do when it sees a single anomaly like a CDP leak?
Direct Answer: It should treat that anomaly as evidence and not immediately call the visit a bot. BotRefund records the signal and tests whether other independent checks support the same conclusion. If the rest of the pattern matches human behavior, the anomaly is not...
What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an anomaly like History Evasion?
Direct Answer: It should keep the anomaly as evidence and investigate the rest of the visit before deciding. Privacy tools, travel, corporate networks, and unusual devices can produce false alarms. BotRefund cross-checks the anomaly with independent data and only calls it a bot when...

What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an anomaly like History Evasion?
What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an audio sample rate mismatch?
Direct Answer: It should record it as objective evidence without immediately calling the visitor a bot. The mismatch may be caused by a virtual machine, spoofed profile, or legitimate unusual setup. BotRefund cross-checks that signal against other independent data. Only a consistent pattern can...
What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an audio sample rate anomaly?
Direct Answer: It should keep the anomaly as evidence and look for support from other signals. A real person using a corporate network or an unusual device can trigger the same kind of anomaly. BotRefund cross-checks the audio sample rate issue against independent browser,...

What should a bot detection tool do when it sees an audio sample rate anomaly?
What should I do if a legitimate affiliate triggers a false positive due to unusual browser setup or accessibility tools?
Direct Answer: BotRefund cross-checks 106 independent signals instead of relying on a single rule, so privacy tools, VPNs, or accessibility-driven behavior rarely cause false flags. If an anomaly appears, the system weighs it against the full signal set before flagging, and you can review...
What should I do if a privacy tool triggers an anomaly in bot detection?
Direct Answer: You should not worry because a single anomaly is not a verdict. BotRefund cross-checks that signal against other independent data to confirm if it is part of a bot pattern. If the anomaly is not supported by other evidence, the visitor will...
What should I do if a real user triggers a DNS Challenge Blocked anomaly because of a privacy tool?
Direct Answer: A privacy tool or unusual network setup can make a real visitor look suspicious in a single network check. BotRefund handles this by treating the DNS Challenge Blocked signal as evidence rather than a verdict. It cross-checks the signal with other independent...
What should I do if I see a single anomaly like a toString mismatch on my site?
Direct Answer: Don't assume it's a bot. BotRefund says a single anomaly is not a bot verdict. You need a tool that cross-checks the signal against independent browser, network, device, and behavior data before deciding.
What should I do if I see a single anomaly like a Webdriver Descriptor mismatch on my site?
Direct Answer: A single anomaly is not a definitive verdict. BotRefund cross-checks it against other signals to determine if it is part of a larger pattern. If other signals support the anomaly, the AI model may classify the visit as a bot. You can...
What should I do if I see a single anomaly like an Error Stack Proxy mismatch on my site?
Direct Answer: A single anomaly is not a bot verdict. It could be caused by a privacy tool, travel, or corporate network. BotRefund keeps such signals as evidence and cross-checks them. You can use a free bot audit from BotRefund to see the full...
What should I do if I see a Voice Brand Check mismatch in my bot audit report?
Direct Answer: A mismatch alone isn't a verdict, so don't panic. BotRefund will show you whether other signals agree with that mismatch. If enough evidence points to a bot, you can use that report to block the traffic or file a refund claim. The...
What should I do if I see an anomaly in a visitor's browser behavior?
Direct Answer: Do not conclude it is a bot from that single anomaly alone. BotRefund keeps each signal like Perfect Frame Lock as evidence and cross-checks it against independent browser, network, device, and behavior data. If other signals do not support the bot story,...
What should I do if I see clicks from datacenter IPs or international proxies on a local campaign?
Direct Answer: That is a strong indicator of bot traffic. The page recommends examining traffic by location and excluding suspicious regions, then checking for sudden spikes during off-peak hours like 2-4 AM. BotRefund automates this by flagging non-human visitors at the client-side level so...
What should I do if my bot detection tool flags a visitor with an unusual browser setup?
Direct Answer: You should look at the complete evidence pattern rather than the one anomaly. A real visitor can appear unusual because of privacy tools, travel, corporate networks, or accessibility devices. BotRefund avoids making a verdict from a single signal and only flags a...
What should I do if my conversion timestamps show clusters of sub-second form completions?
Direct Answer: Sub-second form completions are a red flag for automated bot behavior. The page recommends verifying conversion timestamps and comparing platform conversions against actual orders. BotRefund can help document these anomalies and suppress pixels on suspicious sessions.

What should I do if my duplicated campaign fails immediately while the original performed well
Direct Answer: Duplicated campaigns often fail because the original happened to acquire human conversions early while the duplicate was contaminated by bots in its opening hours on Search Partners or Audience Network. BotRefund prevents this inconsistency by suppressing pixels on bot sessions from installation...
Frequently asked questions
What proof do I need to submit to Google Ads to get a refund for invalid clicks from Search Partners
BotRefund compiles forensic click logs containing GCLID and FBCLID records timestamps and behavioral evidence such as mouse acceleration patterns and hardware rendering anomalies. These detailed session logs provide the objective evidence Google Ads and Meta support require for invalid activity refund claims. The checklist recommends auditing placement reports for disproportionate Search Partner spend and comparing platform conversions against CRM data. Refund submissions are strengthened by client-side behavioral telemetry rather than IP-based assumptions.
