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 teams complete setup in under 30 minutes.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    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.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Install the unique tracking code

    Every landing page receives its own tracking script. Installing these lightweight scripts powers ClickReport analytics and automated Google Ads protections.

    Where can I find my tracking codes?

    Sign in and open My Campaigns. Click the landing page URL to reveal its menu, then choose “Get Tracking Code Script”. A unique script is generated in seconds.

    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.

    Remember: each landing page has its own unique tracking code. Install every script individually for accurate reporting and automated protections.

    Step 4

    Amend your PPC ad links

    Update the destination URL of each pay-per-click advertisement to include the ClickReport tag you generated in Step 3.

    1. Log in to your Google Ads account.
    2. Select the campaign you are monitoring from the Ad Groups tab.
    3. Edit the ad, locate the destination URL, and append your tracking parameter—for example ?crtag=google1.

    Note: Tags can include up to 12 characters using A–Z, 0–9, hyphen (-), or underscore (_). Avoid other special characters or spaces.

    Example: If your destination URL is www.MySite.com and you choose the tag Google, update it to www.MySite.com?crtag=Google.

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 to share with stakeholders.

Spot repeat IP addresses quickly—an early signal of PPC fraud—and block them directly inside Google Ads.

Fraud watch tip

When you notice repeated clicks from the same IP, block the address directly in Google Ads. ClickReport continues documenting the activity for your records.
