Ad verification from a real mobile connection
Your ads are seen on phones, by French users, with real-time bidding behind them. Checking delivery from a foreign datacenter means watching a different show.
What ad verification catches
Ad budgets rarely leak through big holes; they leak through small cracks. A rejected creative still sitting in a rotation, a pixel that only fires on desktop, a redirect added by an intermediary, a price shown in dollars to a French visitor, a landing page taking eight seconds to load on 4G: all invisible from your desk.
- Check the creatives actually being served, by placement and by device.
- Follow the redirect chain all the way to the final page.
- Confirm conversion pixels and UTM parameters on the landing page.
- Measure load time on a real French mobile connection.
- Find your ads on undesirable placements or low-quality sites.
Why a mobile IP makes the difference
Ad platforms and measurement systems treat a server address and a mobile address differently. Some creatives are simply not served to datacenter IPs because of anti-fraud protection, and landing pages sometimes render in a degraded version. Checking from a French mobile IP shows you what your audience actually gets.
A simple, repeatable check
Compare the same landing page with and without the proxy: curl -sIL "https://example.com/promo" -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{time_total}s" and then repeat the call with the -x flag pointing at our HTTP proxy. For a full redirect chain, read the successive Location headers. A difference in HTTP status between the two calls immediately signals IP-based targeting.
Rules not to cross
Verification means looking at what is delivered, not clicking in bulk. Automated clicks on your own ads distort your statistics, trigger platform fraud detection and can get your advertising account suspended. Use the proxy for observation and measurement, never to inflate metrics.
Volume and budget
A daily check of 50 creatives and landing pages consumes less than 1 GB per month, well inside the monthly plan at $14.99. If you run several client accounts with frequent checks, the agency plan with several dedicated lines stops one clients checks eating anothers quota.

Questions fréquentes
Why verify my own ads?
Because what you see in your browser is not necessarily what the audience receives: location, device, frequency capping, competing bids, a modified landing page. Checking from a French mobile IP reproduces the real conditions.
What can I actually detect?
A disapproved creative still running, an unwanted redirect, a landing page broken on mobile, a missing pixel, a wrong price label by region, or your ad appearing on undesirable placements.
Can I automate this check?
Yes, in moderation. A daily check of 20 to 50 URLs from a mobile IP costs a few hundred megabytes a month. We do advise against repeated automated clicks on your own ads: they distort your statistics and can break platform rules.
Do I need several cities?
For most campaigns a national pool is enough. For a local business or a multi-city campaign you need several egress points: the dedicated plan and the agency plan let you reserve multiple lines.
