Why is it essential to select a proxy for the country / geo where the ads will run?
Our Proxytunnel proxies are commonly used to effectively bypass geographic restrictions
and successfully run ads in different countries. If you are running ads in a particular GEO,
it is crucial to select a proxy that corresponds to that country. Let's take a look at why
you shouldn't ignore this principle.
Why is it important to ensure that the proxy's GEO matches the ad account's GEO?
Choosing a proxy server in the country where the ads are running is crucial for various
reasons:
- Target audiences in the right geo. If your campaign is targeting a specific region,
it's crucial to be able to see websites from that area. By using proxy servers located
in the region you've selected, you can view ads and content just like local users.
This will help you better evaluate the effectiveness of your campaign and make
it more relevant to your target audience.
- Bypass geographical restrictions. Some websites may have geographic limitations
and be inaccessible to IP addresses from other geos. By utilizing a proxy server in
the right country, you can bypass these restrictions and get access to resources
that are important to your advertising campaign.
- Testing and Monitoring. You can use proxies to test and collect data on audience
response from different regions. This can be used to optimize advertising for each
specific market.
- Security and privacy. You can utilize proxies to provide a higher level of
anonymity. They are also necessary if you wish to mask your IP address while
performing market research or analyzing competitors.
What happens if you select a proxy in a different geolocation than where the
ads are located?
Choosing a proxy server with the incorrect geolocation when launching a campaign can
lead to negative consequences:
- Rule violation. Using the wrong proxy geolocation can violate ad platform rules
and policies. This can lead to ad blocking and banning by moderators.
- Losses. The wrong choice of geo leads to loss of time and resources to analyze
and optimize the advertising campaign.
- Ineffective advertising. Wrong proxy geolocation can give the impression that
the advertiser doesn't care about the customer and isn't running the campaign
honestly. As a result, the brand's reputation can suffer and the audience's trust
can be lost.
That's why it's important to plan ad campaigns carefully, choose the right proxy
geolocation, and follow the rules of the ad platform.
