How to protect from click fraud
Hi, I work for a company that currently has problems with a Search campaign for a locksmith.
- Google ads search only, no partners, no display, no Pmax.
-clickcease active
- invalid click rate detected on Ads panel about 90% (huge, I know).
-main conversions we consider are only phone calls 60+ seconds.
- we are aware that competitors on the same area do click fraud activity.
That being said, you say that you can train the Ads network in a different way, correct? How so, and what are the technical specifications, do you need Ads panel access, website analytics access?
The idea to exclude specific kw is not really viable in my opinion, since they're re the very few queries users actually use.
