Seeking Help How to block brandverity & similar tools

[Micheal]

Hi,

I am running campaign in Google ads and Microsoft ads. I noticed companies like BrandVerity visit my search ads like 40% of traffic. there bots clicking my paid ads.

I am losing lot of money. I tried blocking them through IP but look like they got tons of IP's.

How to block/stop from bot like BrandVerity to click my paid ads?

Analyze your ad campaign data to identify any irregularities or suspicious patterns associated with the traffic from BrandVerity. Look for commonalities such as IP addresses, user agent strings, or other distinguishing characteristics.

Why do you know it is them --or are you guessing?
It's prove it to Google and Microsoft ads --bot clicks --demand a refund.

They are the ones billing you.

what IP's?

Use CIDR Blocking at the ad source

What is CIDR? - CIDR Blocks and Notation Explained - AWS

What is CIDR how and why businesses use Classless Inter-Domain Routing , and how to use CIDR with AWS.

The following is a random example only:

90.30.0.0/16 <- CIDR address | FR | ripencc | 2006-03-02 | France Telecom - Orange, FR

Add the CIDR
You can block YOUR HTTP server's access to the IPs but you are still paying for the click on your ads.

But your server logs prove the access if there is a dispute --in the event the SEM ads logs don't prove it.
