ClickGuardian<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

\"clickguardian<\/p>\n

Overview<\/b>: If you have any concerns about click fraud negatively impacting your advertising campaigns, you may want to try working with Click Guardian. This PPC tool works to detect and prevent click fraud on any Google advertising accounts you manage, helping to ensure that your ad budget is spent on engaging real potential buyers instead of going to waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Need It<\/b>: Google has its own systems in place for detecting click fraud, but those systems don\u2019t really address all of the issues for users. While Google will return your money (in the form of credits) for fraudulent clicks that it detects, the damage is already done because your ad budget for the day was depleted (meaning your competitors got all the ad placements).<\/span><\/p>\n

Click Guardian monitors your PPC ad account, analyzes every click to discover instances of fraud, and automatically bans fraudsters from seeing your ads in the future. This rapid and automated response ensures that you\u2019ll meet your monthly ad spending targets by connecting with genuine prospects – not paying for fraudulent clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pricing and Access<\/b>: The most basic click fraud package starts at just \u00a325 per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to hundreds of integrations with leading PPC tools, Unbounce offers a collection of landing page templates that advertisers can modify and customize for their own campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Need It<\/b>: Building landing pages from scratch and performing manual A\/B or split testing can become very time-consuming when you\u2019re managing multiple advertising accounts. With Unbounce, you\u2019ll be able to create high-performing landing pages<\/a> that support your campaign objectives – and you\u2019ll be able to do it at scale without any specialized knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a closer look at how to create an effective landing page using Unbounce, check out our in-depth <\/span>PPC course<\/span><\/a> at the Directive Institute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n

Using the right PPC tools increases your PPC ad management capacity, reduces wasted ad spend, and ultimately drives conversions and campaign success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
