The problem
You pay Google every time someone clicks your ad. Some clicks are robots, or people who will never buy. You still pay.
For Google Ads advertisers
Fake clicks cost real money. Got ya.2.0 HARDENED
AvaGotYa watches the visitors your ads send, spots the fake ones, and keeps the repeat offenders from seeing your ads again. The software is free. You pay a share of the savings it can prove on paper — never more than 3% of your ad spend, and nothing at all if it saved nothing.
- $0 if nothing's saved
- Starts watch-only for 14 days
- Every billed click in a CSV
Illustration of how it works, not your data.
Explain it like I'm five
Some clicks on your ads aren't real people.
What AvaGotYa does
It watches the visitors your ads send, spots the fake ones, and tells Google to stop showing your ads to the ones that keep coming back.
How it gets paid
A slice of the money it can show it saved you — never more than a set ceiling, and nothing at all if it saved nothing.
Think of it like
A bouncer who remembers the troublemakers and keeps them from coming back in. He's paid a cut of the damage he can show he prevented — minus what the venue's own security already caught — with a hard ceiling. Quiet night? He gets nothing.
How it works
Tag. Watch. Protect. Settle up.
1
Tag
Install the Google Tag Manager template or one script line. It reads click IDs and behaviour signals — not your form fields.
2
Watch · 14 days
Shadow mode blocks nothing. It shows what it would have blocked, and what that traffic cost you.
3
Protect
Connect Google Ads — read-only for spend, write access only for exclusion lists, revocable any time. Repeat offenders go on an account-level exclusion that also reaches Performance Max.
4
Settle up
Each month: wasted spend detected, estimated spend prevented, Google's own credits subtracted, and every billed event in a CSV you can check line by line.

The whole price, one paragraph
Do the math. No asterisks.
The software is free. The fee is 30% of the Conservative verified savings, after subtracting Google's own invalid-click credits, and it can never pass 3% of that month's ad spend. No savings, no bill. No setup fee, no minimum, month to month.

Where it wins
The only published price here that goes to $0 when nothing's saved and isn't metered on traffic, clicks or spend. Watch-only first, Google's own credits subtracted right on the invoice, and every billed event in a CSV.
Where it doesn't — straight
Google Ads only at launch, and no track record yet. In a month with a lot of verified savings the fee can pass a $79–$99 flat plan from a few thousand dollars of spend. Above that line you're paying for the method, the ledger and a vendor whose income falls when your fraud does — not a lower price.

Questions, answered straight
The honest Q&A.
Can you stop a fake click before Google charges me?
No — and nobody can. The click is auctioned and billed before your page even loads. AvaGotYa stops the same source seeing your ads again, and only savings from those future clicks can ever be billed.
Will I get my money back from Google?
Maybe, and it isn't ours to promise. Google filters and credits some invalid clicks itself, and you can request a click investigation within 60 days — AvaGotYa helps assemble the evidence. Google decides the outcome, and in its own words, "Google doesn't analyze or validate third-party data as part of invalid traffic investigations."
What exactly do I pay?
The software is free. The fee is 30% of the Conservative estimate of spend prevented, after subtracting Google's invalid-click credits, with a ceiling of 3% of that month's ad spend. No savings, no bill. No setup fee, no minimum, no per-traffic charge, month to month. Founding 25 members pay 20% for their first 12 months.
Isn't "savings" just a made-up number?
Every "saved" figure in this category is an estimate, because a blocked click never happened. AvaGotYa publishes its formula: each event is valued at your campaign's own cost per click (never the max bid), repeat visitors are discounted, each source is capped per month, and only the high-confidence tier is billed. Every billed event is exported so you can check it.
What if you block a real customer?
It's the most common failure in this category — usually shared connections like offices, VPNs and mobile networks. That's why it starts with 14 days of watch-only. Once blocking is on, every block is logged and reversible, you can allow-list in one click, and because billing is on verified savings, over-blocking earns AvaGotYa nothing.
When would a flat subscription be cheaper?
Often, at modest spend — and we'd rather you hear it from us. In a month where the 3% ceiling is reached, the fee passes a $79–$99 plan from roughly $2,600–$3,300 of monthly ad spend. Above that you're paying for the method, the per-event ledger, the evidence and a vendor whose income falls when your fraud does.
Do you tell me who's attacking me?
No. You get evidence, patterns and a damages estimate for you and your lawyer, but never a named person or company. Naming someone without proof is legally dangerous and usually wrong.
Which ad platforms are covered?
At launch, only Google Ads is protected with automatic exclusions. Other platforms that pass a click ID get detection estimates only, which are never invoiced. More platforms are on the roadmap, with no dates yet.
Do I have to give you access to my ad account?
To be billed accurately, yes: read-only access to spend and performance data. Write access is optional, limited to exclusion lists and audiences, and revocable. AvaGotYa can't change your campaigns, budgets or bids. Without the connection, events are valued at $0 — so your bill goes down, not up.
Has it worked for other businesses?
There are no public customer results yet — it's new, and it's starting in watch-only mode on its first sites. Your own 14-day shadow report is the evidence that matters for you.
