How a Bot Click Refund Service Works

A bot click refund service scans your paid traffic for invalid clicks, documents suspicious sessions, and prepares evidence your team can use to request refunds from Google, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, and other ad platforms. The goal is to recover ad spend lost to fraudulent bot activity.

Implementation Steps

  1. Deploy the Bot Refund Agent to your website. Add the agent via a script tag or tag manager. The agent begins monitoring paid traffic sessions immediately after installation.
  2. Configure detection rules for your ad platforms. The agent reads each ad keyword and visitor session, separating real buyers from bots based on behavioral signals.
  3. Let the agent collect session evidence. It documents suspicious clicks, session metadata, and conversion events tied to invalid traffic, building a forensic record for each flagged interaction.
  4. Generate refund-ready reports. The agent compiles the evidence into reports formatted for Google, Meta, and other supported ad networks, ready for your team to submit through each platform's refund workflow.
  5. Submit reports and track recoveries. Use the reports to file refund requests with each ad platform, then monitor the status of each claim.

Prerequisites

  • A website with the Seatext tracking script installed
  • Active paid ad campaigns running on Google, Meta, or other supported platforms
  • Access to ad platform refund or invalid traffic reporting portals

Verification Step

After deployment, confirm the agent is actively detecting bot clicks by checking the dashboard for flagged sessions and generated evidence reports. If reports are being produced, the refund workflow is ready to use.

Common Mistake

Waiting too long to submit refund evidence. Ad platforms have time limits on invalid traffic claims, so the agent should be running continuously to ensure evidence is fresh and complete when you file.
