Last updated August 20, 2026

Before you start

  • A workspace with traffic you suspect is unreliable

How to do it

  1. 1

    Open the bot and exclusion guidance before adding broad rules.

  2. 2

    Keep Include internal traffic off for normal reporting. Turn it on in Visitors, Sources, or Conversions when you need to audit accepted internal activity.

  3. 3

    Compare suspicious sessions by engagement, request evidence, source, and repeated cloud behavior.

What to check

  • The report clearly shows whether internal traffic is included
  • Bots remain excluded when internal traffic is included
  • Legitimate engaged visitors remain in reporting
