How to check if visits to my website are created by bots

Hi All,

I just started my tshirt business, and paid a marketing freelancer to bring more traffic to my website. He stated that he will bring visitors using Social Network and Google Authority Campaigns. However, I read this one review from his gig that all traffic is created by bots. I was wondering if there is any way I can check if these visits are organic, or created by bots. I am going to cancel this service and hopefully get a refund if all traffic is from bots. I don’t think bot traffic benefits my business, since I need more brand awareness and sales from real people.

my store url is: freethefreakout.com

Your best bet is to add an invisible recaptcha to your site code:

https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/invisible

If the recaptcha check fails, you can then log that the request was submitted by a bot.

Can you tell me which file i need to put this code in?

It looks like you’re using the Dawn theme. You can add your code in theme.liquid, before the closing body tag.
