Are Certain Industries More Vulnerable To Click Fraud?

Click Fraud Isn’t Equal Across All Industries

Not every business faces the same risk from click fraud. Some industries are high-value targets due to high CPC rates, competitive markets, or significant potential returns per conversion. Understanding your industry’s vulnerability can help you prioritize protection.

Industries Most Often Targeted

Based on observed trends and case studies, these industries frequently face click fraud challenges:

Industry | Why It’s Targeted | Typical Fraud Activity

Legal Services High CPC, valuable leads Competitor clicks, bots, click farms

Home Services (HVAC, Plumbing, Roofing) Competitive local markets Repeat competitor clicks, bot activity

Insurance High-value conversions Both human and bot clicks, traffic scraping

E-commerce (High-Ticket Items) Large potential ROI Bots, competitor fraud, ad stacking

Finance & Loans High CPC and CPA Bots, competitor click attacks

Other Factors That Increase Vulnerability

  • Local competition: Businesses in competitive cities often see higher click fraud rates.
  • Online-only campaigns: Digital-only businesses rely heavily on paid ads, making them prime targets.
  • High CPC keywords: Fraudsters aim for campaigns with high ad costs.
