TrafficGuard Helped an Online Marketplace Achieve a Revolutionising 24X ROI

‍

A Manual Approach to Clearing Invalid Traffic

An online marketplace was running $40k in Google Ads every month across multiple Google Ads accounts. The ad ops team would attempt to deal with invalid traffic by analysing placement reporting and manually updating exclusion lists across their Google Ads accounts and properties. This approach was neither fast nor comprehensive enough to offer adequate protection against ad fraud and invalid traffic.

How TrafficGuard Helped

With TrafficGuard’s automated PPC fraud prevention, traffic is now protected in real-time rather than waiting for human analysis and manual exclusion management. This frees up the team’s time while also giving their Google Ads campaigns more thorough coverage.
