Use case

Residential Proxies for Google Ads & SERP Research

Verify Google Ads creatives, audit ad delivery, and scrape clean SERP data with residential IPs from your target country and city.

Why proxies matter for this workflow

  • Google personalises both Ads and organic results by IP — datacenter IPs return non-representative SERPs.
  • Ad verification and competitor research requires city-level targeting.
  • Manager Account (MCC) workflows benefit from sticky residential sessions per account.

FAQ

Will Google block residential proxies?
Quality residential IPs from real ISPs survive much longer than datacenter, but Google still applies behavioural anti-bot. Throttle requests, randomise User-Agent, respect robots.txt where applicable.
