How Often Should You Update Your IP Exclusion List?

How Often Should You Update Your IP Exclusion List?

11.06.2025 4

Many advertisers add IPs to Google Ads exclusions once — after fraud is already detected. But click fraud is constantly evolving, and IPs change all the time.

Why regular updates matter:

  • fraud systems rotate IP addresses;
  • bots use new proxy servers daily;
  • bad actors return with fresh identities;
  • clean IPs today may be threats tomorrow.

Recommended update frequency:

  • Daily: for high-budget or competitive campaigns;
  • Every 2–3 days: for mid-size advertisers;
  • Weekly: the bare minimum for any live campaigns.

How to automate this:

  1. Connect AntiClick to your Google Ads account.
  2. Enable automatic exclusion list updates.
  3. Log each update for transparency.
  4. Analyze IP history to catch repeated threats.
