Click fraud protection for rehab and addiction treatment centers
Treatment centers advertise to people and families at a decisive moment, and the keywords that reach them are expensive and contested. AdProtektor scores every paid visit, applies the rules you configure and keeps the evidence behind each block so you can review it.
Free trial, no credit card required.
Why paid traffic in this industry attracts invalid clicks
Searches for rehab and treatment programs carry very strong intent, so the keywords behind them are expensive.
Many providers compete for the same searches, and a rival clicking your ads repeatedly looks like a family researching options on any single visit.
Admissions calls and enquiry forms are the conversion, so spam and automated submissions take time away from people who need a response.
Automated traffic that reaches your landing pages inflates visits and blurs which campaigns actually produce admissions enquiries.

AdProtektor ships pre-built industry profiles, each with its own risk benchmarks and recommended rules. A profile's risk tier is what makes its recommendations more or less aggressive.

This sets click protection, enforcement and block duration together. Everything stays editable afterwards.
A profile is a starting point, not a ceiling. Applying one replaces the protection values it covers, so review anything you have already tuned first. Read how industry profiles work
Questions we hear from this industry
Could AdProtektor block someone looking for help?
Strict settings can occasionally catch a genuine visitor, so the safeguards matter. Recognized crawlers such as Googlebot are always whitelisted, never blocked. Every block can be reviewed in the dashboard with the reason behind it, and you can whitelist a person or IP in one click. With the ConversionOS add-on, a blocked visitor who goes on to convert is unblocked automatically.
Can AdProtektor tell me which competitor is clicking my ads?
No. The Competitor label describes a traffic pattern, not an organization, and AdProtektor does not establish who a visitor works for. It can block that visitor according to your rules, and blocking by person follows the same browser across IP changes.
Does Google refund the clicks AdProtektor detects?
Not automatically. Blocking and exclusions aim to stop repeat clicks from the same source. For an invalid-traffic review, the Google Ads refund report packages the available evidence, and Google decides whether a click was invalid and whether any adjustment is due.
Do I need to change my website?
Only to add the tracking script. It is one lightweight script that loads asynchronously, and there is a one-click WordPress plugin plus guided installs for Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Google Tag Manager and any custom HTML site.

Install the script, connect your ad accounts and apply your industry profile. Protection runs on its own from there, and every decision stays open to review.
