It's critical to monitor your traffic and detect bots because it can hurt your business reputation seriously. There are several actions you can take:

1- You can monitor analytics of your site and watch out for traffic that comes from specific geo that "are not related" to your target audience.
2- Look for irregular patterns of traffic with low session duration and high bonuce rate or the high amount of traffic that comes from only one user.
3- Look for logs from suspicious IPs. Most of bots use not-real ips but if you monitor it closely, you can see a pattern and detect them

Finally, using advanced filters will help you protect yourself from getting bot traffic. This option is available in well-known analytics sites like Google analytics. And you can use other networks like Sucuri or Cloudflare to do that.
