    ClickCease has saved me thousands

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    Honestly, I would recommend this to anyone. ClickCease is worth every penny, it can save your budget, increase your leads, and decrease low quality leads.

    Positive

    We were facing a ton of click fraud, and even more VPN users taking up our budget. By implementing ClickCease we optimized our budget and have been able to increase leads coming in from Google while simultaneously decreasing low quality leads.

    Negative

    I do not have any cons. Any issues I've had, ClickCease's support team immediately addressed them.

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    Great! Love it. Super cheap for what it does. For less than one hundred per month we can drive some results for all our clients.

    Positive

    Installation is easy. Gives you something interesting to talk about with clients. We normally just tell them how many clicks and stuff we saved, and how much money that is.

    Negative

    Wish it had more easily understandable insights as to who these competitors are.

    Literally the best out there.

    Date: Jan 15 2021
    Summary

    Saves us 30% of our PPC budget. I’d even say ClickCease are essential to a healthy bottom line if you’re in a crowded market.

    Positive

    Customer service is great and not being defrauded by competitors day after day is even better. Saves 30% of our overall PPC budget.

    Negative

    The only negative is that they don’t get their message out enough. I’d say a large percentage business owners who do their own PPC haven’t even heard of click fraud.

    Why Didn't I Do This Earlier?

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    This is a great addition to our PPC agency.
    A lot of clients ask about click fraud and most of them are just repeating what some friend of theirs said. However, we can now tell them that we have it taken care of. That we will block those bad clicks (from their competitors) and make sure that they are getting even more value when they choose us as a PPC provider. I wish I would have done this earlier.

    Positive

    Simplicity in the setup.
    Easy to read dashboard.
    The reporting is awesome.
    It's a great selling point with my clients.
    They make it easy to report the findings to Google.

    Negative

    I just wish that Google would allow them to submit the reports on our behalf. I know that Google won't let them anymore....and I get that. But that's about it!

    Savings far exceed the cost

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    Would recommend to anyone that has a high cost per click ad campaign or where there may be a significant amount of click fraud.

    Positive

    Was originally skeptical but since we are in an industry where cost per click is high (and so is fraud) thought we would give it a try. When we first started using the software it was not finding any fraudulent activity - then we realized we had made an error and had provided a previous version of our web address, once corrected the software found a good deal of fraud. The fact that it found none in the beginning actually made us realize that their services are legitimate.

    Negative

    None that I can think of, still none tat I can think of (had to meet minimum text requirement).

    Helps minimize ad spend

    Date: Jan 15 2021
    Summary

    All my clients and I love click cease. I recommend giving it a try if your are managing Google ads for a business/personal use.

    Positive

    Since ever I used ClickCease I don’t have to now worry about fraud clicks on my paid ads. ClickCease would know and block all bots and fraud clicks and prevent them from clicking my paid ads. It has features to enable countries and automation based on your businesses preference. It would automatically block all fraud IPs and exclude that from my Google ads. I ended up saying up to 800 dollars and more worth of ad spend by implementing it for one of my clients.

    Negative

    So far I have got great experience using this tool and I have not experienced any cons yet.

    Summary

    Overall it works great. I hope to at some point implement ClickCease on all of my clients' pay-per-click accounts.

    Positive

    ClickCease automatically identifies clicks that may have come from a competitor or spammer, saving me the time of trying to ascertain that on my own. It make it easy to block those IP addresses so that I get peace of mind knowing I won't waste money on those clicks.

    Negative

    I do wish I didn't have to pay additional subscription fees for more than one domain.

    Date: Jan 12 2021
    Summary

    Very good product even with its limitations on the call only style ads. would definitely continue to use this program for protecting my digital ads.

    Positive

    It helps stem some (a lot) of the malicious activity that we all know is pretty rampant when using pay per click advertising. Well worth the cost for the peace of mind knowing that you have some protection.

    Negative

    there have been a few instances that the software wont catch someone until they have clicked 5-7 times.
    Also it seems to be limited on the per per click call only style campaigns.

    Clickcease Review

    Date: Jan 11 2021
    Summary

    Exceptional.

    Positive

    ClickCease has really helped me understand that click fraud does exist. I first found out about click fraud when reviewing my Google billing for our ads. i noticed there was a line item for "invalid clicks". While Google says they monitor click fraud, they actually do a poor job of it. Through ClickCease I found that my instinct regarding our competitors clicking our ads out of existence was actually true. Now I am able to block them and other internet bot related clicks out. I highly recommend this product if you are in a highly competitive market and may have a few childish competitors to deal with.

    Negative

    None so far.
