Residential proxies for ad verification
Confirm your ads and landing pages render correctly in the markets you buy. City and country targeting from real residential and mobile IPs.
Why ad verification needs the right proxies
Ads are targeted by location, device and carrier, so the only way to confirm what a local audience sees is to look from inside that market. Checking from your office, or from a datacenter IP that ad platforms may treat differently, can hide fraud, misplacement and broken landing pages.
Residential and mobile proxies give you local vantage points. Agencies and in-house ad-ops teams use them to verify creative, check landing-page behaviour per market and confirm geo-targeting settings work as bought.
The challenges
Location-specific delivery
Ads, offers and landing pages differ by country, city and carrier.
Datacenter traffic treated differently
Ad systems may filter or alter responses for hosting-range visitors.
Many markets to cover
Campaigns span countries, so checks must be repeatable across them.
Mobile placements
Some placements only appear to mobile-carrier traffic.

Planning your bandwidth
Ad verification is usually light: a handful of page loads per market per check. Pay-as-you-go from $5 is typically enough to start, and agencies running many markets often move to a monthly plan.

Ad verification: frequently asked questions
Why do I need proxies for ad verification?
To see ads and landing pages the way a local audience does. Checking from outside the target market can miss what is really delivered.
Are mobile proxies needed?
For mobile placements and carrier-specific flows, yes. For most web ad checks, residential proxies are enough.
Can I verify at city level?
Yes, city-level targeting is available on residential proxies.
Is clicking ads through proxies allowed?
Artificially generating clicks or impressions is click fraud and is not permitted. Use proxies to observe and verify, not to inflate metrics.
How much does ad verification cost?
It uses little bandwidth, so pay-as-you-go from $5 covers a lot of checks.
