What Is Clickmoat?

ClickMoat is a service built to protect ad campaigns from click fraud. It uses AI-powered protection for Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns, helping companies stop wasting money on fake clicks and improve their return on investment (ROI). You can try ClickMoat free for 30 days before billing begins. It integrates with your Google Ads account, making setup straightforward. Currently, ClickMoat works with Google AdWords, with plans to expand to other platforms like Facebook and Bing.

Who’s Behind Clickmoat?

Clickmoat was started by a team frustrated with click fraud in online advertising. Seeing how much money businesses were losing, they created the company to offer AI-powered protection for PPC campaigns. Their mission: stop wasted ad spend and boost ROI.

Who Is Clickmoat For?

ClickMoat filters out unwanted traffic, including:

• Academic Researchers (studying traffic patterns)
• Internet Bots (malicious or otherwise)
• Spamming Software
• Random Clicks (accidental or otherwise)

It’s aimed at digital marketers, online advertisers, and marketing managers who run paid campaigns.

Getting Started

1. Sign up for the free trial — 30 days, no billing during the trial.
2. Connect your Google Ads account — this involves pasting a couple of codes ClickMoat provides.
3. Let the AI run — once connected, ClickMoat’s algorithm automatically manages and protects your ads in the background.
4. Monitor results — log into your Google Ads account to see campaign performance for the last 7 and 30 days.

Pricing and Plans

After the trial ends, you’ll need to choose a plan. There’s a default option, but you can select another plan or request a custom one from the ClickMoat team. Payment options include credit cards, debit cards, and — for larger organizations — pre-authorized debit agreements. Nonprofits can contact ClickMoat support, as discounted rates are often available on certain plans.

To avoid service interruptions, stay within your monthly spending limit; if you might exceed it, automatic upgrades are available.

Platform Support

ClickMoat currently supports Google AdWords only. Support for other platforms, including Facebook and Bing, is planned for the future.
