Is it possible to find out in Adwords who clicks you?

Question

contextual advertising

A competitor called and cursed that we were calling him. And we really went to his site through advertising in Adwords 1 time, then we went to his site from the bulletin board (Yelp), but purposefully did not click. We went over to find out if he had a substitution of numbers.
Question: how could he know that it was us who came in? And can he prove that it was really us?
Maybe there are services that allow you to see this or some report in google adwords?
The case is taking place in the USA and they are threatening to complain to Google about us and sue us if this does not stop.
I would be glad if you advise!
Thank you!

Answer 1

Not in Google Adwords. In some analytics system, theoretically, it is possible. If you have some incredibly static IPs in the USA that can be correlated with a specific legal entity.
But, firstly, Google Adwords has several degrees of protection against clicks, and a couple of clicks are not clicks. Secondly, it is impossible to prove for what purpose and who exactly from your office made a click, and the competitor’s attitude to the situation smacks of a restriction on freedom of interest. Thirdly, they don’t sue for this, even in the USA.

Old story: the commercial director calls - Some bastard eats our money in Yandex Direct from this IP address. 15 times already clicked, and then continues.
I look - the address is suspiciously familiar. Bah, yes, this is our static IP. I'm starting to figure it out. It turns out that the secretary girl was given the task to look at something on our website, to check it. How to enter the site? In Yandex, in the search, type the name of the company, and follow the link. And so 15 times ...
I don’t know how in Adwords, but in Yandex Direct, the client sees the addresses from which they clicked. And if the address is static, the owner of the address is searched.

There is no way to find out the visitor's IP through Google Ads or Google Analytics. Through Yandex Metrica, you won’t know either. At one time, we faced the problem of clicks in AdWords and we needed to somehow determine the IP of clients and block those who clicked unusually many. At first they did it by hand, and then they found this service https://fingerprint.site/. I don’t know about Direct, but it works automatically with AdWords.
