The steady rise in the volume of delivered digital ads have made it increasingly difficult for agencies to verify the accurate execution of online campaigns across a growing number of purchased Publisher sites. In response, numerous companies have entered the Industry with a range of solutions to address these implementation concerns. Enter Ad Verification.
What is Ad Verification?
Ad verification is a technology service offered by Vendors to ensure that ads appear on intended sites, reach the targeted audience, and have been executed in a manner consistent with the terms of the campaign. Vendors providing this service include AdXpose, Adometry, Adsafe and Double Verify.
What does Ad Verification track?
Targeting parameters tracked thru Ad Verification include:
How does Ad Verification work?
Ad verification services are generally integrated into ad campaigns using some form of tracking asset (ad tags, beacons, etc.). Whenever this "tracked" ad is served on a Publisher site a decision can be made by the ad verification service to "block" the ad - prevent the ad from appearing on a page - if the page does not meet the site, geographical, or content parameters that were laid out for the campaign. The Ad Verification vendor supplies a routine report to the agency and Publisher highlighting the number of ad calls that were blocked, by parameter, providing Publishers with an opportunity to troubleshoot and/or adjust campaign set up.
What is required to implement Ad Verification?
Not much. Once an ad campaign is contracted, the Ad Verification vendor typically requires that included Publisher sites provide a list of all site URLS where the tracked campaign is expected to run. Depending on the implementation method, the Publisher may also need to implement a tracking pixel for the campaign.
