How Visa protected lead quality and recovered $1,200,000

$1,200,000 Total ad spend refunded
15% Average bot click rate
+35% Conversion rate increase

Company profile

Global payment technology company coordinating credit, debit, and prepaid programs.

The challenge: High CPC ad spend leak

Faced massive search campaign traffic surges. Low conversion rates indicated ad campaigns were targets for advanced botnets mimicking sign-up conversions.

The solution: Behavioral auditing & suppressions

Integrated BotRefund on all checkout paths. Suppressed fake conversion pixels, exported undeniable GCLID proof reports, and successfully claimed refunds from ad reps.

"We knew we were buying a lot of bot clicks, but modern bots are hard to detect - our Cloudflare console showed only 5-6% bot traffic. After adding this system, we doubled the amount detected by analyzing behavior on-site. Cloudflare alone just isn't enough."
