Click fraud protection for lawyers and law firms
A single new client can matter a great deal to a firm, so practice-area keywords are expensive and contested. That makes every repeated or automated click a costly one. AdProtektor scores each paid visit, blocks the sources your rules cover and keeps the reason behind every decision so you can review it.
Free trial, no credit card required.
Why paid traffic in this industry attracts invalid clicks
Practice-area searches such as personal injury, criminal defense or family law carry strong intent, so the keywords behind them are expensive.
Firms compete for the same local searches, and a rival clicking your ads repeatedly looks like an ordinary prospect on any single visit.
Legal and insurance keywords attract competitor clicking, which only becomes visible when you look at repeat visits together.
Consultation and contact forms attract spam and automated submissions that take time away from your intake team.

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.

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 a real client?
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 firm is clicking my ads?
No. The Competitor label describes a traffic pattern, not a business, and AdProtektor does not establish which company a visitor works for. What it can do is block that visitor according to your rules. 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.
How does AdProtektor connect to Google Ads?
Through a manager account link: you enter your Customer ID and accept one invitation, with no OAuth token to expire. Eligible blocked IPs are then submitted to your IP exclusion lists at account or selected-campaign level, with an audit trail.
