How does your mission differ from the other companies in your niche?
Honestly, we all have the same mission – the customization and precision in our execution that makes us the go-to solution. However, while many of our competitors take a one-size-fits-all approach, we believe in tailor-made solutions. If a client is facing issues related to a specific type of ad fraud, we don’t apply a generic fix; instead, we can activate customized filters designed to address the specific problem only. We go to the extent of developing a new filter to address our client’s concerns if there isn’t one existing. This approach maintains premium traffic quality while reducing the need for broad traffic blocking, recognizing that monetization is a critical aspect of our client’s success. Our core values, which guide us in everything we do, include Trustworthiness, Accuracy, Accountability, and Availability. These values underscore our commitment to providing reliable and precise solutions, taking responsibility for our actions, and being readily available to support our clients.

Simultaneously, we aspire to establish ClearTrust as a globally recognized name synonymous with trust in the digital advertising industry. We want to make ClearTrust the go-to choice for addressing ad fraud and ensuring the integrity of digital advertising campaigns.What industries or business sizes benefit the most from your solutions?
The sad reality of ad fraud is it can affect anyone. Thus, our solutions cater to a wide range of businesses, spanning both small and mid-size enterprises as well as larger, enterprise-level companies. This diverse user base highlights the versatility of ClearTrust in addressing ad fraud challenges. In terms of industries, any sector involved in digital advertising, be it those monetizing through various ad platforms or running performance campaigns to acquire high-quality leads, stands to benefit significantly from ClearTrust. This applies whether businesses are engaged directly with advertising efforts or operate programmatically. Our customers previously utilized solutions from our competitors. These tools often presented challenges due to their “black box” nature, lacking transparency and detailed reporting for in-depth analysis. As a result, clients often struggled to gain a comprehensive understanding of their ad traffic quality and faced difficulties in addressing specific issues effectively.
The decision to adopt ClearTrust as a solution came after our clients recognized the need for a more customizable, transparent, and user-friendly ad fraud detection tool. While we did not have the advantage of being a first mover in the market, we built our product with adaptability and customization as key principles. ClearTrust’s ability to tailor its features to various use cases, coupled with the emphasis on providing detailed reporting, made it the preferred choice for businesses looking to enhance their ad fraud mitigation efforts.
Credibility was a major concern. In simpler words, it was our accreditation with globally recognised bodies for ad fraud mitigation. However, we have since alleviated these concerns by becoming a TAG-certified vendor, and a member of the Data Security Council of India, and currently working on obtaining MRC certification. Even before achieving these certifications, our operations strictly adhered to MRC guidelines for General Invalid Traffic (GIVT) and Sophisticated Invalid Traffic (SIVT), ensuring the highest standards of scanning of ad traffic quality.
