Ad Verification in 2025: How to Avoid Losing Money on Ads
Brands are losing $17 for every $100 spent on digital ads because of verification failures (MMA Global, 2025). That’s a huge drain on your budget. But there’s a silver lining—83% of media agencies are now using proxies to plug those leaks. Let’s dive into why this is a game-changer.
The Ad Verification Crisis
Where’s your ad spend really going? Picture this: you're filling a glass with champagne, but the bottom’s cracked. That’s digital advertising without proper verification. Here's what’s quietly draining your budget:
42% geo-mismatches: Ads targeting New Yorkers are popping up in Nairobi (AdWeek, 2025).
23% invalid traffic: Bots clicking on your CPG ads at 3 AM, stealing your budget.
1 in 3 brand safety issues: Your family-friendly ad ends up next to explicit content.
And it gets worse. A luxury watch brand racked up $2.3M in fines when their ads slipped into Middle Eastern regions under sanctions. That’s the cost of poor verification. Ouch.
Leveraging Proxies for Targeted Ad Campaigns
Think of proxies as undercover agents for your digital ads. They check the location, safety, and audience before your ads go live. Here's how Swiftproxy stands out:
70M+ residential IPs: These aren’t just random IPs. They blend into local crowds, making your ads look authentic.
City-level targeting: Want your ads verified in Austin—not just Texas? It’s done.
No subscriptions: Pay only for what you use—$3/GB.
