Q: How is this different from Google's invalid click filter?

What Google Doesn’t Tell You About Your Clicks

2.18%

SEM invalid traffic rate

Search campaigns see 2.18% invalid traffic, but enabling Display Network or Performance Max increases exposure to higher fraud rates on Display inventory. Programmatic (DV360) sees 54.6%. Source: Opticks Ad Fraud Report 2025 (2B+ clicks analysed, 500+ advertisers, 243 territories).

Bad bots are the #1 threat

30+

fraud types detected by Opticks beyond what Google filters

You can’t see which clicks Google filtered or why. You’re trusting a platform that charges per click to tell you which clicks were fake.

The hidden cost: On €10,000/month Google Ads spend, €218 is lost to fraud on Search alone — but if you run Display or PMax, that figure jumps to €1,543. Budget that should be reaching real customers. Source: Opticks Ad Fraud Report 2025.
