How does the bot-traffic check work?

It pulls Meta-attributed sessions from your GA4 and applies behavioral pattern signals — engagement timing, navigation depth, fingerprint consistency — to flag automated traffic.

What do I do with the result?

Use it to decide which Meta placements to pause, exclude, or escalate. Audience Network and broad-targeted Advantage+ are the most common culprits.

Will this work for both Facebook and Instagram traffic?

Yes — the GA4 estimator covers all sessions Meta sent your way, including Facebook feed, Instagram Reels and Stories, and Audience Network placements.

How often should I re-run the check?

Monthly is enough for most spend levels. Re-run after any major creative, audience, or placement change to catch new bot patterns early.

Read-only GA4 accessResults in ~2 minutesRaw GA4 data never stored

Your raw Google Analytics data is never stored — we keep only your audit summary (invalid %, sessions, top invalid-traffic source, recommended plan). The contact details you provide stay with Hyperguard and are used only to share your results and follow-ups.

If your Meta Ads cost-per-result has crept up while your audience reports look fine, the gap is usually in the post-click traffic Meta doesn't measure. Their reports stop at the click; bot sessions that arrive on your website still drain CPC even when conversions look unaffected.

This free checker connects to your Google Analytics 4 property read-only and runs a bot-likelihood pass on your Meta-attributed sessions across Facebook, Instagram, and the Audience Network. You get a single number per campaign or placement — what percentage of paid sessions look automated.

No data leaves your GA4. No tracking script. No agent. The whole thing finishes in roughly two minutes from the moment you grant read-only access.
