MikhailUpdated Oct 16, 2026

01Locate the relevant records

Review invalid clicks and available billing-adjustment reports for the period. Google explains its filtering and possible credits. Already filtered clicks are not automatically charged financial losses.

02Record one episode

Teaching example: spend rises one morning with repeated empty forms. Record times, time zone, campaigns, setting changes and form delivery. Check irrelevant queries and technical failures too; no sale is not proof of fraud.

03Reconcile website and Ads

An IP can be shared and one ad visit can create several website events. Do not multiply all tracker blocks by average CPC. Separate observations, assumptions and unavailable evidence.

04Request a review

Provide Google Ads support with dates, campaigns and the observed pattern, following its submission requirements. Retain the case reference and response. Verify any actual billing adjustment; a submitted request does not guarantee a refund.

05UZNEO's role

UZNEO can review Google Ads, website events and evidence. Send the period and anonymised examples. The work produces analysis and agreed actions. Google decides classification and billing.
