$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."

$1.2M Refunds secured

"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."

Why Google & Meta accept our proof and issue refunds

We don’t just detect bots — we prove it.

We show exactly how every bot is identified — even advanced ones — using real behavioral signals like mouse movement patterns and typing dynamics.

The result: clear, compliance-ready evidence to help you claim refunds — including rrweb video session recordings, GCLID tracking, and a deep, transparent explanation of why each visitor was classified as a bot.

Enterprise-grade detection across Cloudflare, AWS, and Oracle infrastructure

Real-time IP auditing on every visit.

We combine the industry-leading bot intelligence of these top providers with 50+ additional detection vectors. While Cloudflare filters at the network level, we analyze real user behavior to make the final, high-precision decision — stopping even the most advanced bots.

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.

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.

Built for Marketing, Not Just Security

How BotRefund differs from Castle, Imperva, CHEQ, and ClickCease

Most bot blocking software is built for security teams to stop fraud, scraping, and abuse at the perimeter. BotRefund, powered by Seatext AI, is built for marketing teams: it protects ad budgets, keeps pixel algorithms clean, and turns invalid traffic into refund-ready evidence.

1. Google Ads IP Blocking vs. Behavioral Detection

Traditional (Castle, Imperva, CHEQ, ClickCease)

Attempts to block bots by adding IPs to Google's 300-limit block list. This is completely ineffective today because modern bot developers use residential proxies with millions of rotating IPs, bypassing block lists instantly.

BotRefund (Powered by Seatext)

Bypasses the IP chase entirely. We detect and filter bots on-site in real-time based on advanced client-side behavioral telemetry (like mouse dynamics and typing speeds) rather than rotating IPs.

2. Pixel Poisoning vs. Real-Time Pixel Protection

Traditional (Castle, Imperva, CHEQ, ClickCease)

Allows bots to fire Meta and Google tracking pixels. The ad networks' algorithms register these bots as legitimate engaged users (scrolling and clicking), polluting your pixel targeting data and ruining ad delivery.

BotRefund (Powered by Seatext)

Blocks bots from firing Meta and Google conversion pixels on the client-side in real-time. This keeps ad platform optimization algorithms pure and focused only on real human buyers.

3. CRM Lead Clutter vs. Communication-Layer Blocking

Traditional (Castle, Imperva, CHEQ, ClickCease)

Fails to block bots at the communication layer, allowing them to fill out forms and register. These fake leads clutter your CRM and get reported back to ad networks as successful purchases, mis-training ad optimization.

BotRefund (Powered by Seatext)

Actively blocks bots at the interaction level. Bots cannot register, submit forms, or purchase, saving your CRM database and keeping optimization models clean.

4. Simple Logs vs. Refund-Ready Compliance Reports

Traditional (Castle, Imperva, CHEQ, ClickCease)

Does not generate the forensic, client-side proof required by Google & Meta. You cannot submit legacy logs to claim ad credit refunds since they lack compliant session evidence.

BotRefund (Powered by Seatext)

Generates automated reports formatted exactly how Google and Meta Traffic Quality teams require. Complete with GCLIDs, physical proof, and rrweb session videos to secure quick refund approvals.

Specialized Protection
