GroupBy Inc., a SaaS-based eCommerce search and product discovery leader, today announced a strategic partnership with adCAPTCHA, a cutting-edge security verification platform. This collaboration aims to elevate digital customer experiences by combining robust security measures with highly personalized product discovery shopping experiences.
Bots pose a significant threat to eCommerce businesses, accounting for half of global web traffic and costing millions of dollars daily in fraudulent activity. These malicious bots can manipulate search results, distort user behavior, and undermine the integrity of online shopping experiences.
GroupBy and adCAPTCHA’s partnership empowers retailers to effectively identify and block malicious bot traffic, safeguarding their online operations. By seamlessly integrating adCAPTCHA’s advanced human verification technology, retailers can provide personalized and targeted shopping experiences without compromising security. This innovative approach enhances user satisfaction and drives additional revenue through targeted advertising seamlessly integrated into the verification process, as well as improved reporting and analytics that empower retailers to make data-driven decisions for their businesses.

By reducing bot traffic with adCAPTCHA, and by leveraging GroupBy’s AI-first eCommerce Search and Product Discovery platform, retailers can focus on serving real customers with intent-driven search results, personalized recommendations, and faster load times. This leads to increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and, ultimately, higher revenue.
Monetizing Security with Personalized and Targeted Ads
adCAPTCHA goes beyond simple bot detection. Its innovative approach monetizes security by seamlessly integrating personalized and targeted ads into the verification process. This not only enhances revenue streams for businesses but also provides a more engaging and relevant user experience. By analyzing user behavior and preferences, adCAPTCHA delivers highly targeted ads that are more likely to resonate with individual users.
Leveraging Better Reporting and Analytics
With enhanced security, retailers can gain valuable insights into their website traffic. By filtering out bot activity with adCAPTCHA, businesses can leverage GroupBy’s enhanced analytics and reporting capabilities to accurately measure key metrics such as user behavior and engagement, click-through rates, and conversion rates. This data-driven approach enables retailers to make informed decisions about their marketing strategies and optimize their online presence.
Enhancing AI Training with Clean Data
GroupBy’s platform benefits significantly from clean and accurate data. By working together with adCAPTCHA to remove bot traffic, GroupBy can ensure that its AI models are trained on real user behavior, leading to more relevant and personalized search results.
