Ad Click Fraud Detective

Help local small businesses detect competitors maliciously clicking their Google Ads

Problem

Local small businesses find their Google Ads are being maliciously clicked by competitors who use cheap click bots through proxy services to simulate different users, wasting ad budget and reducing real customer calls. Most merchants don't know how to detect or respond.

Solution

Provide a lightweight monitoring tool that analyzes ad clicks by IP, device fingerprint, timing, and behavior patterns to identify suspicious clicks and generate reports; also offer blocking recommendations and appeal templates to help merchants reduce losses.

Users

Local small businesses running Google Ads, solo operators, and small marketing agencies, especially in industries relying on phone inquiries like restaurants, repair services, and law firms.

MVP

Connect Google Ads account to read click data; anomaly detection based on IP and device fingerprint; generate suspicious click reports and blocking recommendations; provide appeal templates.

Revenue

Monthly subscription (tiered by ad account count or click volume), or one-time deep audit reports.

Why now

Click fraud tools are getting cheaper and proxy services are widespread, so more small merchants are victims but lack low-cost detection; an indie developer can use the Google Ads API to build lightweight analytics.
