Get Your Google Ads Invalid Traffic Refund, Without the Runaround

Why Google's Automated Refund Isn't Enough

Google Ads automatically credits accounts for some invalid clicks, but studies show that 14-25% of paid clicks can be invalid, and Google's own detection often catches only a fraction. Sophisticated invalid traffic (SIVT) from residential proxies, click farms, and AI agents is designed to evade Google's filters. The result: you overpay for fake engagement while Google keeps the difference.

Manual refund claims are possible, but the process is opaque and time-consuming. You need detailed evidence, precise timestamps, and a clear narrative, and even then, Google may reject or under-credit your claim. That's where Unled steps in.

What Unled Protects That Self-Serve Tools Miss

Most click-fraud tools rely on IP blocklists, but modern invalid traffic rarely comes from repeat IPs. Residential proxies rotate millions of addresses, click farms use device farms, and AI agents mimic human behavior. Self-serve IP-blockers also cannot protect Performance Max campaigns: Google blocks third-party access to PMax click data via API, making real-time blocking impossible.

Unled is a managed service that uses advanced behavioral analysis, device fingerprinting, and machine learning to detect SIVT across all campaign types, including PMax, Search, Display, and Video. We don't just block; we build a case for refunds.

How Unled Recovers Your Google Ads Invalid Traffic Refund

Our process is simple and hands-off for you:

• Audit: We analyze your Google Ads account for invalid traffic patterns, identifying suspicious clicks and impressions.
• Evidence Collection: Our system logs granular data, timestamps, user agents, IPs, device fingerprints, and behavioral anomalies, that meets Google's refund criteria.
• Claim Submission: We compile and submit a detailed refund request to Google Ads support on your behalf, following up until resolution.
• Ongoing Protection: We monitor your campaigns 24/7, blocking invalid traffic in real time and automatically filing recurring refund claims.

You get a clear report of what was recovered and what's been protected. No annual lock-in, cancel anytime.

What Types of Invalid Traffic We Detect and Refund

Unled covers the full spectrum of invalid traffic that Google may miss:

• Competitor click fraud: Rivals clicking your ads to drain your budget.
• Click farms and bots: Automated scripts and human-operated farms generating fake clicks.
• Residential proxy networks: Traffic routed through real user IPs to evade detection.
• AI agent traffic: Bots using machine learning to mimic human browsing patterns, up 78x year-over-year.
• Accidental and duplicate clicks: Misclicks or repeated clicks from the same user.

We also protect against budget-exhaustion attacks, where fraudsters rapidly consume your daily budget with fake clicks.

Why Choose Unled Over DIY Tools or Other Services

Self-serve tools require constant tuning, miss PMax traffic, and don't handle refund claims. Other managed services may lock you into annual contracts or use outdated detection methods. Unled is different:

• Managed end-to-end: We do the detection, blocking, and refund filing, you focus on your business.
• PMax compatible: Our proprietary method works with Performance Max despite API restrictions.
• No long-term commitment: Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
• Transparent reporting: See exactly what we found and recovered.

Our clients typically recover 5-20% of their ad spend in refunds alone, plus ongoing savings from reduced wasted clicks.
