4-step checklist
Everything you need to launch tracking
Work through the steps in sequence. Each one builds on the previous so your reporting stays accurate and your PPC platforms stay synced with ClickReport.
Most small businesses complete setup in under 30 minutes.
- 01
Step 1
Name your campaign
Create a Campaign (or Group) for the landing pages you plan to monitor. Give it a descriptive name that reflects the initiative it supports.
We recommend matching the name used in Google Ads to avoid confusion. Need multiple initiatives? Click the “Add Campaign” button on the My Campaigns page to create as many as you need.

Step 2
Choose the pages you want to monitor
Add the URLs for every landing page that belongs in the campaign. Track a single page or manage a collection—ClickReport keeps everything organized under the campaign you created.
As soon as a page is added, it becomes eligible for monitoring, reporting, and fraud detection in real time.

Step 3
Install the tracking code
Install the ClickReport tracking script on every landing page you monitor. This lightweight script powers analytics and automated protections.
Where can I find my tracking codes?
Sign in and open Campaigns. Select a landing page, then copy its tracking snippet from the tracking code panel.
Where do I install the script?
Paste the script just before the closing
</body>tag. Placing it here isolates the script from other components and prevents conflicts.Install the snippet on every landing page you send paid traffic to so attribution and protection stay accurate. - 04
Step 4
Apply campaign tags in Google Ads
Use Google Ads tracking settings to append your ClickReport tag without editing every ad URL manually. The recommended approach is Tracking template + Final URL suffix.
- Log in to your Google Ads account.
- Open tracking settings at the account, campaign, ad group, or ad level.
- Set your tracking template to
{lpurl}and your final URL suffix tocrtag=google1.
Note: Tags can include up to 12 characters using A–Z, 0–9, hyphen (-), or underscore (_). Avoid other special characters or spaces.
Quick fallback: if you need to test one ad directly, append ?crtag=google1 (or &crtag=google1 when query parameters already exist) to its final URL.
Live monitoring
What ClickReport records once you are live
Monitoring activates immediately. Each click is enriched with identifiers you can use to investigate performance, protect budgets, and prove ROI.
- Date and time of every visit
- Visitor IP address
- Country, state, and city
- Internet Service Provider
- Unique cookie or session ID
- Referrer for each click
- Keyword that triggered the ad
Stay informed every day
Daily summary emails cover traffic totals, unique visitors, and high-risk IPs across every monitored page.
Log in anytime for deeper analysis, filter results by PPC vendor, and export data for your records.
Spot repeat IP addresses quickly—an early signal of PPC fraud—and block them directly inside Google Ads.
Fraud watch tip
IP blocking is one response, not the full strategy. Use ClickReport to validate patterns first (repeat visitors, velocity, referrers, campaign tags), then apply exclusions with evidence attached so future reviews are faster and more defensible.
