How it works
How Invalid Click Refunds
Work in 3 Steps
We bring together your campaign activity, pricing, and platform billing data to verify what you should have paid. We build the claim, submit it, and track it through to resolution.
Claim
We build the case
We analyse the previous 60 days of your paid media, identify the invalid traffic you were charged for, assemble the evidence and calculate each claim.
Pursue
We submit and chase
Each claim goes to the ad platform with its own Claim ID. We track every dispute through the platform's resolution process, so your team never has to.
Recover
You get paid back
Refunds are credited directly to your ad account. Then it keeps running, auditing, and claiming continuously for as long as we work together.

FAQs of Invalid Click Refund

Yes. Google credits some invalid clicks automatically, but many are billed as normal and never refunded unless someone proves them. TrafficGuard Refunds builds an evidence-backed claim for the invalid clicks you were charged for, submits it to Google, and tracks it until the credit lands in your ad account.
You need to identify the invalid clicks, gather the evidence behind them, calculate what you were overcharged, and submit a claim, then follow it through Google's review. TrafficGuard Refunds does all of this for you, with a Claim ID for every claim so you can track it.
Yes. Meta reviews invalid activity too, and TrafficGuard Refunds submits evidence-backed claims to Meta the same way it does for Google. The same applies to TikTok, Apple Ads, Snapchat, Microsoft (Bing) Ads, X Ads, and YouTube.
Invalid clicks are clicks that don't come from a genuine, interested person: bots and automated tools, click farms, competitors clicking your ads, or repeated accidental clicks. Some are filtered automatically. The rest are billed to you like any other click.
Google Ads shows invalid clicks and invalid click rate in your campaign reports, but only for the clicks Google has already filtered. Clicks it missed look like normal paid clicks. Finding those needs independent traffic data, which is what our audit checks.
Protection stops invalid traffic going forward, but some is billed before it can be blocked: the first click from a new source, placements platforms don't let you exclude, and spend from before you were protected. Refunds recover that money, so prevention and recovery work together.
Yes. TrafficGuard Refunds is available to TrafficGuard customers, and works alongside our real-time protection.
Advertisers typically recover 1–2% of their paid media spend. That is incremental, high-margin cash, with no extra media spend and no operational overhead. Book a demo, and we'll size it against your actual spend.
Google Ads, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Apple Ads, Snapchat, Microsoft (Bing) Ads, and X Ads.
We start with the previous 60 days of your paid media activity, then keep auditing and claiming continuously.
Each platform runs its own review, so timing varies. You can track every claim's status by its Claim ID until the credit lands.
Straight to you. Platforms credit refunds directly to your ad account against the Claim IDs we submit. The money never passes through us.
Zero setup cost and fully performance-based. We take a revenue share on refunds that are successfully recovered, so we only earn when you do.
