Click Guardian gives you control over how and when visitors are blocked from seeing your ads. These user-defined settings help shape the rules that, if triggered, result in a visitor’s IP being added to your exclusion list. This is a key part of minimising fraudulent or unhelpful traffic and making sure your ad spend is going where it counts.
Settings availability is based on your service plan level. Some features are exclusive to higher-tier plans.
