Problem
Digital advertising campaigns are susceptible to ad fraud and invalid traffic, including bots and fake clicks, which can significantly diminish campaign performance and return on ad spend. Identifying and mitigating these threats requires analyzing vast amounts of traffic data and employing numerous filters to detect malicious activity.
Solution
ClearTrust offers a cybersecurity solution designed to detect and mitigate ad fraud and invalid traffic by leveraging the Traffic Quality Index Score™ (TQI™). The TQI™ score is derived from over 150 filters that analyze traffic for unsafe sources, bots, fake clicks, and other indicators of ad fraud. By providing real-time monitoring and insights into post-bid activity, ClearTrust enables brands, ad agencies, and ad-tech platforms to optimize ad delivery, improve the quality of impressions, and maximize campaign performance. The platform empowers users to take control of traffic quality at scale, ensuring that ads are displayed in safe, non-fraudulent environments and that marketing spend is not wasted on invalid clicks and poor-quality traffic.
