Why does ad verification need IPs in each state and DMA?
Ad verification needs IPs inside each targeted area because ad platforms serve campaigns by state, DMA, city or ZIP radius. Only a viewer inside the area gets the ad, the offer and the landing page meant for it.
An ad verification proxy loads a page from inside the targeted state, DMA or ZIP code, so you record what a local viewer gets.
A DMA (Designated Market Area) is a Nielsen TV market, and many DMAs cross state lines. The El Paso DMA includes Las Cruces, New Mexico. The Washington, DC DMA includes Hagerstown, Maryland. A campaign bought for one DMA therefore needs checks on both sides of the line.
Which US markets can I check ads from?
You can check ads from any of the 50 states and Washington, D.C., and from any city or ZIP code where IPs are available. FiftyStateProxy's 30 city pages sit in 28 distinct DMAs, including all ten of the largest US TV markets. Dallas and Fort Worth share one DMA, and so do San Francisco and San Jose.

Residential or mobile: which proxy checks which placement?
Use residential IPs for anything targeted by place, and a dedicated carrier port for anything targeted by mobile network. A port is picked by country and carrier from the stock shown at checkout, so state-level proof belongs on residential IPs.
| What you verify | Proxy to use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Display or search ads aimed at a state or DMA | Residential, state or city targeting | The IP sits inside the targeted market |
| Geo-fenced ads aimed at a ZIP radius | Residential, ZIP targeting | The narrowest place a username can set |
| Campaigns aimed at one home ISP | Residential, ASN targeting, such as -asn-7922 (Comcast) | The IP belongs to that ISP's network |
| Mobile web and in-app ads aimed at a carrier | Dedicated T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon port | The exit is a modem on that carrier's SIM |
| Nationwide mobile reach | Rotating mobile per GB, country level | A fresh carrier IP on each connection |
How do I run a state-by-state ad check?
Connect the gateway once, using how do I configure a US proxy in my browser or script. Then repeat these steps for each campaign.
List the campaign's targets
Write down every state, DMA and ZIP radius in the media plan, with the creative each one should see.
Map each target to a username
For example
-state-tx-city-el_paso-zip-79912for El Paso and-state-nmfor the New Mexico side of the same DMA.Keep one sticky session per target
Reuse one session ID per target, so the ad call, the click-through and the landing page share one IP.
Capture the evidence
Save a screenshot, the creative ID and the landing URL for each target, with the time and the exit IP.
Repeat on a carrier port
Run the mobile placements again through a T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon port.

Ad verification proxies: FAQ
What are the best US proxies for ad verification across different states?
Residential proxies with state targeting work best, because each check needs an IP inside the targeted state. FiftyStateProxy covers all 50 states and Washington, D.C. on every plan. Switch states by changing -state-xx in the username.
Can I check ads in one specific DMA?
Yes. Pick a city or ZIP code inside the DMA and put it in the username. For a DMA that crosses state lines, check one ZIP code on each side.
Can I choose the state of a mobile port?
A port is chosen by country and carrier from the stock shown at checkout. For state or DMA proof, use residential IPs, and keep ports for carrier-level checks.
Which ad-check tools work with these proxies?
Any tool that accepts an HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 proxy with a username and password works, including browsers and headless Chrome. FiftyStateProxy also accepts an IP allowlist of up to 10 IPs.
Do I need to show ID to buy ad verification proxies?
No. FiftyStateProxy asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. Pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a $25 top-up.
