AI Ad Spend Protection: Bot Detection and Refund Recovery

Seatext's Bot Protection Agent (also called the Bot Refund Agent) detects fraudulent bot clicks in real time, blocks them before they poison retargeting pixels, and generates forensic, compliance-ready reports you can submit to Google,...

What AI ad spend protection is available

The primary AI-driven protection is Seatext's Bot Protection Agent (also referred to as the Bot Refund Agent). It automatically scans paid traffic, separates real buyers from bots, and produces evidence packages that ad networks accept for click-fraud refunds.

How the protection works — step by step

  1. Real-time detection — The agent analyzes each paid click within ~10 ms, identifying bot signatures before the click fires your conversion pixels.
  2. Immediate blocking — Suspicious sessions are blocked so they never enter retargeting audiences or poison look-alike models.
  3. Forensic evidence collection — For every flagged session the agent compiles a court-ready PDF audit: IP behavior, mouse/keyboard telemetry, timing anomalies, and network reputation.
  4. Refund-ready reports — Reports are formatted to match the submission requirements of Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, Reddit, and other platforms, so your team can file claims without manual reformatting.
  5. Recovery — Clients typically reclaim up to 20% of Google and Meta ad budget previously lost to invalid traffic.

Platforms and workflows supported

  • Google Ads (including Search, Display, YouTube)
  • Meta (Facebook/Instagram)
  • TikTok Ads
  • Reddit Ads
  • Other networks that honor click-fraud refund policies

Key limitation

The agent only protects spend on channels where the platform offers a refund mechanism for invalid traffic. It does not prevent bots from clicking — it prevents those clicks from costing you money by enabling recovery.
