How it works

A clean-up cycle.

Built for the messy reality: placements change, exclusions decay, and waste returns even if you are watching it carefully. Do you have the time, skill and tools to control your Ad Placements?

Google pays 68% of your click cost to the publisher or Youtube Channel owner, creating a tempting honey pot for legitimate publishers and content creators, and for scammers.

* Website scammers simply use AI to create a site, set up a Google AdSense account, evade detection and enjoy a healthy profit.

* Youtube scammers simply create a channel with dozens or hundreds of AI generated, meaningless or copied videos, trick the system into monetising them, evade detection and enjoy a healthy profit.

The default tools to protect advertisers are woefully inadequate and the bears are eating your salmon.

Ingest placements

Pull placement reports and normalise the chaos: domains, apps, videos, and channels.

Identify waste + risk

Detect patterns that correlate with budget leakage and brand risk - not just poor performance.

Exclude, then verify

You determine what makes it though. We provide the tools to monitor the results.

Monitor

With placements appearing daily we keep a living deny-list and re-check the inventory on schedule.

Proof + receipts

See the graphs. See the garbage.

We don’t just provide optimisation, we show where money went, what got excluded, and what performance did afterwards.
