Why do US ads look different from one state to the next?
Advertisers target US campaigns by state, city, ZIP code and media market, so the ad served in Miami is not the ad served in Seattle. State rules on products such as alcohol or insurance also change the disclaimer a campaign must carry. A check from one office IP shows one market only.
Ad verification loads the same page from each targeted area. It confirms that the right creative, price and disclaimer appear, and that the ad stays out of areas it should not reach.
Which targeting level fits each ad check?
Match the proxy's targeting to the campaign's targeting: state for statewide flights, ZIP code for store-radius campaigns, carrier for in-app ads. Lodestate sets each level in the proxy username, so one account covers every market.
Which proxy and targeting match which campaign?
| Campaign check | Proxy | Targeting |
|---|---|---|
| Geo-targeted display or search ad | Residential | State or city |
| Store-radius or local offer | Residential | ZIP code |
| Landing page that changes by region | Residential | State |
| Offer shown to one ISP's customers | Residential | ASN |
| In-app or mobile-web placement | Dedicated 4G/5G port | Carrier |
How many US proxy providers offer state-level targeting?

A dash means the seller's page did not show the feature; it does not prove the feature is missing. Published by Lodestate, one of the sellers listed.
When should an ad check run on a carrier IP?
Run a check on a T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon IP when the campaign targets mobile carriers or in-app inventory. Some ad platforms let advertisers target by carrier or connection type, and only a carrier IP is served those ads. Desktop and most web placements check fine on residential IPs.
A $3.75 1-day port covers a launch-day check, and a 7-day port covers a short flight. Carrier differences are laid out in T-Mobile vs AT&T vs Verizon proxies.
How do I run a state-by-state ad check?
List the targeted areas
Copy the states, cities and ZIP codes from the media plan.
Open one session per area
Set the state, city or zip value and a session ID in the username:
USERNAME-country-{cc}-state-{state}-city-{city}-zip-{zip}-asn-{asn}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}.Load the placements
Visit the publisher pages or run the search terms, and save a screenshot with the time and exit IP.
Repeat on a carrier port
Check in-app and mobile-web placements through a dedicated 4G/5G port.
Compare with the plan
Flag wrong creatives, wrong regions or missing disclaimers, and send the evidence to the ad team.

Ad verification proxies: FAQ
What are the best US proxies for ad verification across different states?
Residential proxies with state, city and ZIP targeting, plus a carrier port for mobile placements. Lodestate covers all 50 US states and Washington, D.C. on every plan from $1.50.
Can I check ads in a specific US city or ZIP code?
Yes. Add the city or ZIP value to the proxy username, and the publisher serves the ad a local reader sees. City availability varies by location.
Do I need mobile proxies for ad verification?
Only for mobile placements. In-app ads and campaigns aimed at carrier traffic need a T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon IP; most web ads check fine on residential IPs.
Is ad verification through a proxy allowed?
Yes, checking where and how ads appear is a standard use. Clicking ads to drain budgets or faking impressions is ad fraud and leads to suspension.
Can I buy ad verification proxies without KYC?
Yes: Lodestate asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, and credentials appear in your dashboard as soon as you buy a plan.
