Detect and filter fraudulent traffic in Google Ads campaigns
At Fáktica, we’ve developed an Anti-Bot technology capable of detecting and filtering fraudulent traffic in Google Ads campaigns—Search, Display, Performance Max, Video, and Demand Gen—with a level of accuracy that significantly surpasses the commercial solutions on the market.
The digital advertising ecosystem has become increasingly vulnerable to multiple types of fraud. “Bad bots” already outnumber legitimate bots, and their activity grows every year. On top of that, there are malicious manual clicks from competitors looking to drain budgets, as well as click farms that use networks of sites and rotating IP addresses to generate artificial revenue.
Our technology adds an extra layer of intelligence on top of Google’s algorithms, analyzing traffic quality and blocking suspicious sources without impacting legitimate users.
How does it work?
Fáktica’s Anti-Bot technology is built on a simple premise: it’s not about blocking everything—it’s about blocking what truly matters. Instead of focusing only on IPs, our system adds selective exclusions across placements, geo micro-areas, and audiences. This allows us to precisely identify and eliminate the environments where fraud is concentrated, while safeguarding high-quality traffic.
Unlike software that relies on IP blocking—ineffective against dynamic IPs and CG-NAT—our model is powered by machine-learning algorithms that analyze hundreds of combined signals: from technical placement characteristics (language, domain, age, authority, or security protocol) to behavioral and geographic patterns.
Through this process, the system learns and adapts, discovering new exclusion criteria as fraud evolves. When it detects toxic environments or fraudulent behavior, the system adjusts bids and applies automatic exclusions, reducing invalid traffic without generating false positives.
In addition, the model continuously self-trains, learning from every campaign and adapting to new fraud patterns.
