Once deployed, the platform immediately starts analysing campaign traffic and protecting Google Ads budgets from bots, click fraud and invalid traffic.
Rising demand for ad-fraud protection solutions
TrafficGuard has seen its SME customer base surge over the last 12 months. Self-serve accounts have grown to over 10,000, driven by increased demand for ad-fraud protection solutions.
TrafficGuard’s solution ensures SMEs can rapidly deploy and scale their analytics and defences with almost no barrier to entry.
“Invalid traffic and click fraud are no longer just an enterprise problem – the bots have moved downstream, and small businesses are often the softest target. Most don’t even know how much of their ad spend is being wasted,” said Mathew Ratty, Co-founder and CEO of TrafficGuard.
“With over 200 million SMEs spending on digital advertising globally, it’s crucial they have a clear and transparent view of their advertising performance and where their budgets are going. We’re now focused on providing our proprietary platform to all types of businesses to protect the ecosystem from invalid traffic and fraud.”
Solution provides in-depth analytics for Google Ads
The solution provides in-depth analytics for Google Ads, with Meta (Facebook and Instagram) protection scheduled by July 2026. At only $49 per month, the SME offering is highly accessible. It includes a simple sign-up process and a fully automated model, eliminating the need for enterprise-level support.
“Tackling click fraud and other forms of invalid traffic has become increasingly urgent for advertisers in the SME sector, and this is one of the main drivers behind our decision to launch our tailored solution. The platform utilises a phased approach to pricing, minimising friction and simplifying decision-making so SMEs can protect their budgets right away,” said Chad Kinlay, CMO at TrafficGuard
TrafficGuard is a multi-award-winning platform that detects, mitigates and reports on digital invalid traffic and ad fraud before it hits advertising budgets.
It is trusted by thousands of global businesses, including enterprise brands operating across highly competitive verticals such as finance, eCommerce, travel and gaming. This launch comes after TrafficGuard’s recent expansion of its operations in the U.S. as part of a robust growth pipeline.
