CHEQ Reviews & Product Details

For more than three years now, CHEQ has proven to be an outstanding partner. Thanks to their support and comprehensive data, we have enhanced our IP blocking capabilities on certain platforms and successfully negotiated refunds for invalid click traffic on others. Throughout this process, we have managed to save a substantial amount of wasted spend as we scaled our paid advertising efforts globally. The platform itself is user-friendly, and the integration process is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s very little to complain about. Initially, the sheer volume of available data can feel a bit overwhelming. However, the CHEQ team is fantastic at guiding us through it and often dives into the data alongside us to uncover insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Years ago, we recognized our need for a technical solution related to fraudulent traffic hitting our websites. This traffic was coming through paid sources directly, and it also impacted our retargeting/remarketing spend for webiste visitors who never intended to convert to inquiries with our business. I appreciate that CHEQ has a robust solution to our problems, is constantly evolving its tools and practices, and is attentive to our business needs. The UI is easy to navigate, and we can easily implement the solutions we need for our advertising efforts. We leverage CHEQ technology daily, and we have consistent check-ins with our support team to ensure we are getting the most out of the product. Additionally, the initial lift to implement these solutions was well within our organization's technical abilities, so we were up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels odd to share this as a negative, but CHEQ is so committed to its lane that the product set is limited, meaning that we would love to explore how CHEQ's resources could be used to proactively advertise to potential customers, but CHEQ is committed to using its tools to remove fraud and protect companies instead. I respect their position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standout aspect of working with CHEQ has been their exceptional customer service & true partnership approach. Our reps proactively flag traffic anomalies even beyond the paid search channels we're contracted for, including weekly channel-agnostic reports they provide to our Lead Quality team. They consistently go above & beyond, like when they compiled a detailed package of 200k+ invalid Bing click IDs that our internal analytics validated had a 0.004% conversion rate, helping us justify a ~$315k credit request. They've also provided video walkthroughs to help us analyze specific publishers & detailed breakdowns of search partner & syndicated traffic by referring source. Beyond the technical aspects of the partnership, our reps are also genuinely enjoyable people to work with.

From a performance perspective, our internal testing validated meaningful improvements with 53% higher Profit/SR in CHEQ-protected campaigns & a 1.3pp conversion rate improvement that aligned with their invalid click rate reductions. We appreciate their data-driven, realistic approach - for example, they provided repeat rate analysis showing realistic upper bounds on their impact rather than overpromising, & they're useful for identifying bad actor patterns our internal tools miss.

There's some ambiguity in definitively attributing all performance improvements solely to CHEQ versus natural market fluctuations, but based on our internal validation, we feel confident that it's a significant value-add to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parts of the documentation feel a little outdated in spots and a little hard to follow if you were trying to implement it yourself. I feel they have been moving so fast that the docs could use a refresh, the onboarding helped with this initial hurdle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is very easy to use and helps keep my ads protected. I saw an immediate return on investment with the Cheq tool. Their customer support is excellent, and I appreciate that they continue to develop new features focused on AI traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating with platforms such as LinkedIn often involves workarounds that are not very straightforward. Additionally, the Cheq tool does not provide ad protection across all platforms, particularly when it comes to programmatic display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CHEQ is an effective solution with many use cases. We have used it for performance marketing initiatives, and we have seen an incremental ROI year-over-year. Their support team has been very prompt and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Understanding the implementation and backend can be a bit challenging for non-tech-savvy users. However, their support has always been good, explaining and providing helpful resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone managing multiple digital campaigns, CHEQ has helped us cut down on fake clicks and non-human traffic. We use it mostly for Google Ads and Meta, and it’s been effective at filtering out bad traffic before it eats into our budget. It’s easy to install and doesn’t slow down our workflow. We also got clear reports that help explain where invalid traffic is coming from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is good, but some parts of the setup were a bit technical at first. It took a bit of trial and error to fully understand how to get the most out of the features. Also, it would be great if the reporting tools allowed for more customization based on specific campaign goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to identify where the bots are in play and trying to increase our costs. By using Cheq, we can eliminate the costs associated with the excess clicks. Also, the Client Service team makes it easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None at this point thanks to our great team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy that CHEQ catches the bots in real-time and prevents them from seeing our ads again to avoid spending inefficiently. This also helps to show which campaign types are more prone to bot traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have downsides as of now - I think having this type of product implemented with our program only has an upside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CHEQ have been extremely helpful and patient with us when it came to integrating their platform with our advertising platforms and website despite several delays on our side. From the customer success manager to their technical support, they are always very friendly, knowleadgeable and prompt in their responses.

The platform itself is doing its job stopping a lot of malicious and invalid traffic from coming to the website and, based on the number of invalid clicks it replaced, it paid for itself in less than 12 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The CHEQ Paradome dashboard needs a bit of work to become more user friendly and have quicker and easier access to the most important KPIs but I know this is something they have been already working on for a while and I can't wait to see the results soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
