They imitate real visitors, burn through paid clicks, and skew campaign learning before anyone notices.

BotRefund helps large advertisers and agencies prove invalid clicks, prepare the evidence, and negotiate directly with Google and Meta to recover wasted ad spend.
Pick a time — we will show you exactly how much of your ad spend is recoverable.
See how teams turn invalid traffic into verified refunds, cleaner accounts, and measurable media spend recovery.
"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."
"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."
"Once we saw the refund-ready report, the whole process became straightforward. The platform made advanced traffic issues visible in a way the ad network could act on."
Tools such as CHEQ and other click-fraud blockers focus on filtering suspicious traffic. BotRefund protects your conversion signals and helps recover invalid spend from Google and Meta—without asking for your ad-account credentials.
Useful for filtering suspicious traffic, but limited when enterprise budgets and confidential campaign data are at stake.
Rotating residential proxies and mobile gateways make static IP blocking ineffective. Google’s 500-IP exclusion limit cannot keep up with transient bot networks.
Many account-connected workflows require access to your Google Ads data. Your campaigns contain sensitive commercial information; BotRefund never asks for Google Ads or Meta login credentials.
Once invalid spend has left the account, basic blockers do not prepare the claim or negotiate with Google and Meta to recover it.
BotRefund protects Google and Meta conversion signals in real time and manages the recovery process for high-volume advertisers.
We build the evidence, write the claim, and manage the platform conversation. You pay BotRefund 32% only when we recover funds for you.
We analyze 110+ client-side signals and suppress tracking pixels for bots in under 50ms, so smart bidding learns from real buyers.

Across 2,500+ brands audited, 83% of our clients recover funds from Google and Meta. That high approval rate comes from three things: 99% bot-detection confidence, reports built in a format their teams can review, and deep experience negotiating successful claims.
BotRefund combines 110+ behavioral, browser, hardware, network, and attribution signals to identify automated traffic with 99% confidence. Each finding includes a clear, session-by-session explanation instead of a generic invalid-traffic estimate.
We turn each finding into a refund-ready report with click IDs, campaign details, timestamps, session recordings, and signal-by-signal reasoning. The evidence is structured in the format platform teams use to review invalid traffic claims.
We have worked through more than 2,500 audits and know how to present bot evidence to Google and Meta. We format the data, write the claim, and support the negotiation with the documentation and arguments their reviewers need to return money to advertisers.

Straight answers about case studies, proof, negotiation, and how BotRefund works in practice.
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.
We look at 80+ signals across behavioral, browser integrity, hardware, network, and ad-attribution layers.
If you want the full list, we can walk through it in a presentation and show how each category feeds the report.
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.
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.
That negotiation work is a big part of the service.
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.
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.
If even one of these is happening, your dashboards show activity while your budget is funding someone else’s business. These are the signals to investigate before you spend more.
Why this signals bot activity: When you launch a campaign, automated scrapers and bots interact with ads and trigger early engagement events. Google and Meta algorithms mistakenly treat these bot clicks as high-intent engagement and optimize future ad spend toward similar non-human profiles—poisoning campaign learning before genuine buyers arrive.
How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund suppresses tracking pixels in real time for bot sessions so algorithms only train on verified human buyers, while compiling timestamped click ID proof and session recordings to recover wasted ad budget.
Why this signals bot activity: Performance Max and programmatic campaigns automatically distribute your ads across thousands of publisher websites. Low-quality publishers deploy automated bot fleets to view and click ads at scale, turning your $1–$3 CPC ad budget directly into their publisher payouts without delivering real human interest.
How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund audits placements at the session level, uncovers click-farming publisher domains, and produces evidence packages so you can exclude toxic placements and claim cash refunds from Google.
Why this signals bot activity: Competitors and click farms use rotating residential proxies to deliberately click your high-CPC Google Search ads in the morning. By exhausting your daily ad budget by 11 AM, they wipe your business from top search positions so they can capture genuine customer demand for the rest of the day.
How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund detects competitor click fraud using device fingerprinting, mouse dynamics, and IP cluster analysis—producing verified click ID dispute logs that force ad platforms to credit back the drained funds.
Why this signals bot activity: Your campaign targets California and Google bills you for US residential clicks. However, independent device telemetry reveals 15–25% of visitors have GMT+8 system timezones, Asian languages, and foreign browser signatures routed through US proxy IPs. You are charged top-tier US rates for disguised offshore bots with zero intent to buy.
How to fight with BotRefund: BotRefund evaluates 110+ hardware, WebRTC, timezone, and network signals to expose proxy masking in real time, stops pixel contamination, and generates indisputable evidence to recover wasted spend from Google and Meta.
BotRefund shows which sessions clicked your ads, what they did on your site, and provides refund-ready proof to recover wasted ad spend. Start with a free audit in minutes or speak with our enterprise team.
A lightweight, reviewable integration designed to stay outside your critical rendering path and under your team’s control.
Many conventional bot-detection systems make an initial decision in 1–2 seconds using roughly 40–50 factors. BotRefund combines 110+ signals and continues observing how each visitor scrolls, clicks, types, moves, renders the page, and navigates the website—looking for evidence that an interaction is automated.
Flags traffic that originates from hosted infrastructure instead of a normal consumer network.
Detects browser signatures commonly left behind by scripted automation tools.
Identifies sessions that skip or suppress normal visual rendering behavior.
Finds the screen sizes and viewport patterns common to headless environments.
Surfaces cases where graphics are rendered by software instead of normal hardware.
Checks for operating system details that suggest a server or automation host.
Compares browser settings against expected geography to catch masked locations.
Looks for unusual permission states or browser integrity issues that weaken trust.
Detects mismatches in browser APIs and font availability that are common in bots.
Catches click activity that happens without the natural sequence of human intent.
Watches for bots that respond to hidden or intentionally deceptive page elements.
Flags unnaturally straight pointer paths that rarely appear in real user sessions.
Looks for the tiny imperfections and jitter typical of human movement.

Detects movement that snaps to precise lines or blocks instead of natural curves.
Highlights sessions that stay too static to match a real browsing journey.
Catches visit lengths that are too short, too long, or too uniform to be human.
