ClickMoat is a cloud‑based click‑fraud protection platform designed to identify and block fraudulent, spammy, or non‑engaged clicks on Google Ads campaigns. It uses behavioral tracking, IP filtering, VPN detection, rule‑based filtering, and AI‑driven analysis to prevent wasted ad spend. Users install a tracking code to monitor activity and apply custom rules to detect suspicious click frequency, device patterns, and location‑based anomalies. The system supports automated IP blocking, behavior analytics, conversion tracking, and detailed fraud reports. ClickMoat also assists in refund claims by providing exportable click‑fraud evidence. All plans include unlimited campaigns, AI detection, 12‑month data retention, and Slack‑based support.
