£18,266 saved in first month • 4.77% clicks exposed as invalid

Aside from implementing Lunio, we didn’t make any other significant changes to our campaigns. So I’m confident Lunio is responsible for the improved profitability we’re seeing. Since enabling protection conversion rates have also increased, AOVs are up, and traffic seems to be generally stronger across the board.”

Frequently asked questions

Why should I use Lunio?

Use Lunio to enhance ad performance and ROI by identifying and excluding invalid IPs from campaigns. Its machine learning algorithm analyzes click behavior to detect invalid activity, ensuring genuine engagement. Through ad platform integrations, Lunio optimizes your ad spend, protects against click fraud, and boosts campaign effectiveness, allowing advertisers to focus on reaching real audiences.

What is invalid traffic?

Invalid traffic is clicks or impressions on ads that don't come from real people with genuine interest in what you’re advertising. All non-human and fraudulent traffic is invalid. Fraudulent activity includes the use of bots, click farms, and third party incentives to drive up click volumes for malicious reasons or financial gain. User agents that deliberately seek to misrepresent e.g. their location or device also fall under IVT. Not all IVT is out to get you. It includes benign actors such as website scrapers and spiders collecting information from your website. Mistakes made by ad platform algorithms in which the wrong targeting is applied is also invalid.

How does Lunio prevent false positives?

Lunio has invested millions in building an advanced machine learning algorithm trained on real, verified click data to distinguish between unusual yet genuine actions and fake behaviors. While no solution on the market can avoid false-positives altogether, our approach has the agility to rapidly adapt to the ever changing signals of traffic validity, keeping false-positive rates to an absolute minimum without compromising on the value of your traffic protection.

Why is IVT a problem for advertisers?

8.5% of ad clicks are invalid. That's up to $71B in wasted ad spend—driving revenue for ad platforms, not advertisers. What's more, it creates snowballing inefficiencies. If your company is spending $1M with a 3:1 return on ad spend, a 5% invalid traffic rate equates to $50K in wasted ad spend plus another $150K in missed revenue.
