I reviewed Callrail again and they are coming through our BR Max Clicks campaign. I also that they all come from the referrer https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/14201307?hl=3Den, which = I believe means it was served outside of the Google Search ads. Do we have Search Partners turned on for our settings? If so, let's remove that and restrict ads just to Google Search. This seems to be a partner site and we can't exclude specific ones. I searched for this site online and found this Reddit article of others who have had similar issues and the recommendation was also to turn off search partners. I've added Carmina, who I work with from Google, directly to this chain. Carmina - does this seem like a Search Partners website to you? Reyna - is this something you've come across with Search Partners?
