Google Ads questions

Does Google Ads already filter invalid clicks?

Yes. Google says you are not charged for invalid clicks it filters, and it credits invalid activity it finds after billing on a later invoice. Adjira adds the view from your website after the click: what the visitor did, the network behind the visit and whether the same device came back through another network.

Can Adjira add IP exclusions to Google Ads for me?

Yes, after you grant write access. Adjira proposes exclusions from its findings and protection rules, and each one is written to Google Ads only after a person confirms it. Google limits IP exclusions to 500 addresses per campaign.

Does Adjira work with Performance Max campaigns?

Adjira scores the website visits from Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube clicks that carry a Google click identifier, and estimates suspicious spend per campaign from your cost data.
