    ClickCease - an inseparable service to SEM

    Date: Jan 05 2021
    Summary

    We would certainly recommend as what my review title says - ClickCease - An Inseparable Service to SEM.

    Positive

    ClickCease provides one of the best customer service I've come across. The ease of use is simply a breeze.

    Negative

    We believe ClickCease management can consider this - to have better pricing for loyal customers.

    Accommodating, Professional, Effective and the best Click Fraud platform from others

    Date: Jan 21 2021
    Summary

    We tested all the different click fraud prevention software on the market and ClickCease has been far better overall as a company compared to others offering the same service. From customer support, reports to technical trouble shooting, they've been very accommodating and effective.

    Positive

    Easy to use, accommodates our requests beyond what is expected, provides effective protection for both small and large scale campaigns.

    Negative

    Nothing major, reports could be designed a bit better but this may be a personal preference.

    Google Tries to Detect Spam, but Not Too Hard

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    Definitely, worth the $75 dollars for our 30K monthly spend levels. For our industry, that could be just 3 clicks. It gives me peace of mind that we're keeping an eye on Google.

    Positive

    Customer service has been amazing - support webinar or chat. They are very helpful in explaining everything although the layout is already very user-friendly.

    Negative

    It's hard to believe the "savings" because that calculation is based on so many assumptions, but the question is are we at least saving $75?

    Don't expect to retroactively get anything back from Bing or Google. Clickcease is honest about this upfront, but I have yet to see anything come of submitting these reports.

    ClickCease does nothing automatically for Bing, where spam is much worse, but spend is much less. This is a limitation on Bing's part. Hopefully, Bing opens this up soon to get more value. They have Facebook in the works, which we don't need, but would be valuable for others.

    Saved us a lot of money

    Date: Jan 12 2021
    Summary

    Very easy to set up, easy to use (we honestly don't need to spend that much time in it, which is great for us as a small team), we just action the reports it gives us and reclaim the money when prompted.

    Positive

    It's very easy to set up and the few questions I did have were promptly answered. It's genuinely saved us money- it turns out we had quite a lot of fake/repeat clicks of our ads.

    Negative

    There really isn't anything to dislike so far, we rate it highly.

    ClickCease is a Must Have

    Date: Jan 07 2021
    Summary

    ClickCease is a must have piece of software to protect your ad spend if you're spending any substantial amount on Google. Google only blocks some erroneous clicks, so don't burn ad spend on fake traffic. ClickCease makes this simple and effective for a reasonable price.

    Positive

    You have to protect yourself from erroneous clicks-- Google just isn't strong enough in this area. If you're spending any reasonable amount of money, this is an investment you need to make to protect your account. With detailed reporting (inside AdWords and onsite), you'll never guess what ClickCease is protecting you from. You can also control how strictly you want to throttle your traffic, and their team can guide you on what is best.

    Negative

    Nothing negative that comes to mind at the moment.
