What CHEQ (ClickCease) does
CHEQ sells protection against bots and fake users across a company's marketing: ads, forms, analytics. Its sister brand ClickCease is one of the best-known click-fraud blockers for small advertisers on Google Ads.
CHEQ is unusual among verification companies in talking openly to the arbitrage side. It says it has worked with leading traffic-monetisation platforms for nearly a decade, and it has published guidance on Google's Restricted Access Features for RSOC, which from 25 August 2025 reserve advanced features for publishers who meet quality standards.
How it makes money
Software subscriptions, from self-serve ClickCease plans to enterprise contracts.
Where it meets invalid traffic
Blocks invalid click activity for advertisers, and sells pre-click screening to monetisation platforms that need to prove their traffic is clean to keep a feed.
