A meaningful share of visitors run ad blockers, and every blocked ad is lost revenue you’d otherwise have earned from that visitor — ad blocking recovery detects blocked ads and can prompt visitors to allow ads or offer an alternative, recovering some of that revenue rather than losing it entirely and silently.
What recovery actually recovers, and what it doesn’t
Recovery tools typically detect that an ad was blocked and can show a message asking visitors to disable their blocker, or serve an alternative ad format less commonly blocked — they don’t force ads through a blocker, and being too aggressive about it can push visitors away entirely, so this is a balance, not a guaranteed win.
Ad blocking recovery setup
Ad blocking recovery configured to your own tolerance, not maximum aggression against your visitors.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Your AdSense account access and confirmation of your current ad setup
- Your tolerance for how visitors are prompted (a gentle message versus a harder wall)
- Confirmation of whether you’re open to non-Google alternative ad formats for blocked visitors
This or something else?
| You want to detect and respond to ad blocking on your site | This fix covers it |
| Ads aren’t showing for reasons unrelated to blocking | AdSense code placement & ad unit implementation, a different issue |
| You want to know why revenue dropped generally, not specifically about blocking | Ad revenue drop – technical diagnostic report |
| You want a hard paywall, not a gentle ad-blocker prompt | A larger, separate project beyond this fix’s scope |
What we do
- Confirm your current ad blocking rate to establish a baseline
- Set up detection for blocked ad requests
- Configure an appropriate visitor-facing response, matching your stated tolerance
- Test the detection and response across common ad blockers
- Monitor initial results and adjust the approach if it’s too aggressive or too passive
- Report on the estimated recovery achieved
What is included
- Ad blocking detection configured and tested
- A visitor-facing response matching your specified approach
- Baseline and post-setup comparison of blocking impact
- A written report on estimated recovery
Not included
- Guaranteeing a specific recovery percentage, which varies by audience and approach chosen
- Building a fully custom paywall or hard block, a larger, separate project
- Ongoing monitoring as ad blocker technology evolves
- Resolving an unrelated ad serving or policy issue
Questions about this fix
Will this annoy visitors and make them leave?
It can, if configured too aggressively, which is why we start with your stated tolerance and can dial it back if it seems to be pushing visitors away rather than converting them.
How much revenue can I realistically expect to recover?
It varies significantly by audience and approach — we're honest that this isn't a guaranteed fixed percentage, more a genuine but variable improvement over doing nothing.
Does this work against every ad blocker?
Most detection methods catch the majority of common ad blockers, though blocker technology evolves and no solution catches every variant indefinitely.
Is there a risk this violates AdSense policy?
Google has specific policies on how you can respond to ad blocking — we configure within those boundaries rather than something that risks the account-level problems a policy violation would cause.
Can I turn this off if I don't like how it feels?
Yes, it's a configuration that can be adjusted or removed, and we'd rather you dial it back than keep something that feels wrong for your site and audience.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
