Lunio for Google Ads (2026)
How Lunio approaches Google Ads invalid traffic and quality protection — detection, exclusions, reporting — and when AdPurity is a clearer fit for SMBs and agencies.
Workflow
How Lunio typically works with Google Ads
Step 1
Monitor paid Google traffic
Clicks from Google Ads are evaluated as visitors land, with quality and invalid-traffic oriented signals applied in real time or near real time.
Step 2
Score IVT and low-quality activity
Behavioral and technical signals contribute to a risk or quality verdict aimed at reducing wasted Google Ads spend.
Step 3
Support exclusions
High-risk sources can feed exclusion workflows so ads stop serving to those IPs or audiences in Google Ads (confirm current integration depth).
Step 4
Review & tune
Dashboards help optimizers inspect flagged activity and adjust thresholds or campaign hygiene over time.
