Can you stop click fraud on Google Ads?

Partly, and the part you control is IP exclusion. Google filters the invalid clicks it detects and credits them back, but it never shows you the addresses behind your clicks. A tag on your landing pages records them, a scan scores each address, and the worst ones are excluded from the campaign, up to 500 per campaign.

Ask it to scan, and you get the addresses that cost you money without ever converting. Approve the ones you want gone and they are written into the campaign as IP exclusions.

What the click fraud tools do

Each picture is a real request and the answer Opus Growth gives inside Claude or ChatGPT, from the tag to the exclusion.

It reads your own click log, not a vendor's guess

The tag captures the clicks that actually reached your site, tied to the gclid Google passed along. The suspicious list is built from that traffic: an address only appears if it clicked your ads, and outside signals such as a datacenter range, a Tor exit or a known-malicious list only add a reason to an address you already saw.

Set up the click fraud tag for keystonelocks.co. We use Google Tag Manager.

A score with its reasons, and a threshold you set

Every address gets a score from 0 to 100 and the reasons behind it: repeat clicks or bursts from one address, datacenter or hosting ranges, Tor exits, known-malicious lists, bot user agents, and high click volume with no conversions. You choose the score above which an address is recommended for blocking, and you see the count, the timing and the campaign before anything is excluded.

Why did 203.0.113.48 get a 96?

Blocking is a write action, so it asks first

Excluding an address changes a live campaign, so it goes through the same approval gate as a budget change. You get a preview of exactly which addresses will be excluded from which campaign, and nothing is applied until you confirm.

This lead's phone number does not exist. Its gclid is EAIaIQobChMI8x2. Where did it come from?

Reversible in one sentence

Exclusions are listed back on demand and removed the same way they were added. If you block something and traffic drops in a way you did not expect, you ask for it to be undone and it is.

Calls from the office park dropped since last week. Show me what we excluded and remove the office address.

It sits next to the rest of the account work

The same conversation that pulls your search terms report and reallocates budget also handles the fraud scan. You are not exporting a CSV from one tool to paste into another.

Campaign level, where Google applies it

Exclusions are written at the campaign level, which is where the Google Ads API accepts them, and Google allows up to 500 excluded addresses per campaign. The tools list what is already excluded so you never lose track of what you blocked and why.

How to set up click fraud protection

Three steps. The scan needs a few days of ad traffic to read.

  1. 1

    Install the tracking tag once

    Ask for the fraud tag for your domain. Paste the snippet into the head of every page, or add it through Google Tag Manager as a Custom HTML tag; if your site is hosted on Opus Growth, the tag is written into every page for you. The tag only records visits that arrive from an ad, and the setup reply tells you how many ad clicks it has captured, so you know it works.

  2. 2

    Scan the traffic

    Ask for a fraud scan over the last N days. You get back the addresses with the most repeat clicks, how many times each one landed, and which campaign paid for them. Set the block threshold higher or lower depending on how aggressive you want to be.

  3. 3

    Approve the exclusions

    Say which addresses to exclude. You see a preview listing the exact addresses and the campaign they will be applied to, and only after you confirm are they written into Google Ads. Ask to list or undo them at any time.

Click fraud prompts

Copy any of these into Claude or ChatGPT. The assistant reads your account and prepares the answer.

Set up the click fraud tag for my domain and tell me where to paste it.

Scan the last 30 days for click fraud and show me the addresses with the most repeat clicks.

Which IPs clicked more than five times last month and never converted?

Exclude those addresses from my Search campaign, but show me the list before you apply anything.

List the IP exclusions currently active on this campaign.

Remove the exclusions I added last week, traffic dropped more than expected.

Nothing reaches Google Ads without your yes.

Every change comes back as a preview first. If a request breaks a safety limit, the assistant says so and offers what is allowed.

  • Preview before every write

    You see the item, the current value and the new value before anything is applied.

  • Budget limits

    A budget can rise by at most 50% in one step and 100% within 24 hours, and a single cut cannot go deeper than 80%.

  • Scans change nothing

    A fraud scan only reads your click log; blocking is a separate, approved step.

  • Every action is logged

    Applied changes are recorded with the account and the time.

Click fraud protection: frequently asked questions

It reads the ad clicks your own tracking tag captured, matched to the gclid Google attaches to each paid click, and scores every address from 0 to 100 with its reasons: repeat clicks or bursts, datacenter or hosting ranges, Tor exits, known-malicious lists, bot user agents and high volume with no conversions. You set the score above which an address is recommended for blocking, and you can read every reason before you decide.

One tracking tag, once, on your site. Ask for it in the chat and you get the snippet to paste, the same as installing any analytics tag. Without it there is no click log to scan, because Google Ads does not hand you the IP addresses behind your clicks.

No. Excluding an address changes a live campaign, so it is a write action and goes through the approval gate. You see exactly which addresses will be excluded from which campaign, and nothing is applied until you confirm it.

Ask for the current exclusions to be listed, then ask for the ones you want removed. Removal is the exact inverse of blocking and goes through the same preview and approval. Nothing here is one way.

Google filters what it detects and credits it back, and that catches a lot. What it does not do is show you the addresses behind your clicks or let you act on patterns it did not flag. This fills that gap: you see the repeat clickers in your own log and decide whether to exclude them.

No, it is built for Google Ads. The tag records visits that arrive from a Google ad, and IP exclusion is a Google Ads campaign setting. Meta and TikTok do not offer IP exclusions at all; Microsoft Advertising has its own, managed in Microsoft's interface. For a suspicious lead, you can also look up the click behind it by its gclid and see the address and the ad it came from.

No. The click fraud tools are part of the connector, on every plan including the free one. You can run a scan with the 75 credits you start with, before paying anything.

Dedicated services run their own detection and usually charge a monthly fee on top of your ad spend. This is narrower and lives where the rest of your account work already happens: read your own click log, see the repeat addresses, exclude them with your approval, undo when you want. If you need managed detection across many accounts, a specialist tool is the better fit.

Connect your Google Ads account in a minute.

Install the tag, scan a month of clicks, and see who has been spending your budget without ever converting.
