Proxies for Ads: See Google, Meta and TikTok Ads by Country

See the ads, competitors and landing pages each market gets — from a household IP in that country or city.

Why ad checks need local residential IPs

Ads are served by location. Google says a searcher’s location is typically based on their IP address; Microsoft Advertising shows an ad only when both its location and its language targeting are met; TikTok targets countries, regions, cities and ZIP codes; Reddit targets countries, states, ZIP codes and DMAs; and LinkedIn can target a member’s profile location or, for short-term visits, their IP address. From head office you see head office’s ads.

Platform tools show part of the picture. Meta’s Ad Library lets anyone search all active ads running across Meta’s products, Google runs an Ads Transparency Center, and Google’s Ad preview and diagnosis tool shows your own search ads without accumulating impressions — Google warns that searching for your own ads can hurt your performance data. None of them shows the page after the click in each market, and Google disapproves ads whose destination isn’t accessible in the targeted location.

The kind of IP matters too. Google’s Display & Video 360 counts ad traffic from data-center IPs linked to invalid activity as general invalid traffic and filters it, so a check from a cloud server may not see what a person at home sees. Meta places people by their home and recent location, not just the IP they browse from — so use its Ad Library for what runs and a residential exit for the landing pages. In our hourly checks at 03:05 UTC on 18 October 2026, the sites of all 7 ad platforms on this page loaded through Proxy302 residential exits in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Brazil and Indonesia.

If you also buy traffic

The traffic arbitrage page covers the buying side: static ISP IPs for ad accounts, and rotating residential IPs for checking landing pages and how ads are delivered in your target countries.

Ad proxy setups by platform and task

Seven ad platforms and three tasks — landing pages, ad placements and affiliate links. Each page covers how that platform targets by location, which of its own tools to use first and how to set up the proxy. “View options and pricing” on a card opens the console with that page’s starting setup.

Check ads by country in three steps

  1. Start with the platform’s own tools

    Search the platform’s ad library, and preview your own Google search ads in the Ad preview and diagnosis tool, which doesn’t accumulate impressions.

  2. Open one proxy per market

    Create a rotating residential proxy for each country or city the campaign targets, with a sticky session so one exit holds while a page and its redirects load.

  3. Record what each market gets

    Note the results page, the landing page, the language, prices and any redirect for each market, with the time you checked.

Ad checking proxy FAQ

Why can’t I check my ads from the office?

Because ad systems choose ads by the viewer’s location, and Google says that location is typically based on the IP address. From the office you see the office’s ads and results.

Residential or datacenter proxies for ad verification?

Residential. Google’s Display & Video 360 filters ad traffic from data-center IPs linked to invalid activity, so a check from a server may not see what people at home see.

Will checking my own ads hurt my campaign?

Searching for your own ads can hurt your performance data, Google warns. Use the Ad preview and diagnosis tool for your own search ads, and the proxy for competitors, placements and landing pages.

Can I see a Meta campaign by changing my IP?

Only partly. Meta targets people by their home and recent location, not simply by the IP they browse from. Use the Ad Library to see what runs, and the proxy to open the landing pages from each market.

Do I need one proxy per country?

Plan one per market or city you check, so each view keeps its own location. Rotating residential is paid by traffic, so adding a market doesn’t add an IP to pay for.
