The PPC Click Fraud / IVT Protection SOP

A copy-paste standard operating procedure for keeping bots, fake leads, and invalid traffic out of your Google Ads. The same repeatable routine we use to protect the accounts we manage.

By PPC specialistsUpdated

What is inside

  • IVT thresholds and CRM lead-tagging standards (valid / spam / competitor / irrelevant)
  • A 15 to 30 minute weekly detection checklist for Google Ads and GA4
  • IP, geo, and placement exclusion and form-hardening steps
  • An incident playbook for active attacks (rapid budget drain, fake-lead surges)
  • A monthly IVT review and governance routine
  • Roles and ownership across paid media, analytics, and sales
