As of 15 October 2026, AfricaProxies residential traffic starts at $0.50/GB.

Keep country-level and city-level tests distinct. 2. **Inspect the official preview** — Use Google Ad Preview and Diagnosis or the campaign’s authorised Meta review tools. Record the platform’s selected location and language before checking your destination page. 3. **Review your destination directly** — Open your approved landing URL with the matching city configuration when available. Record the observed exit, redirect, currency and tracking parameters; do not generate paid-ad clicks or artificial engagement. ## What should the campaign brief specify? Specify the city or country requirement, audience language, device, schedule and approved destination URL. A city test only has meaning when the campaign is intended to vary by city. If the requirement is country-level, use that scope instead of implying neighbourhood precision. Record the campaign’s actual platform settings alongside the brief. ## How does Google’s preview tool fit into the test? Use Ad Preview and Diagnosis to inspect the search-ad configuration before considering a network test. The tool can reveal campaign eligibility and delivery explanations without a repeated sequence of normal searches. Capture the tool’s selected language and location with its diagnostic result. A proxy cannot resolve a budget or targeting error in the campaign itself. ## What should a Meta campaign review measure? Use the business’s authorized Meta account and available official review tools. For a destination-page test, open the approved landing URL directly and compare language, currency, redirect and tracking parameters with the brief. Do not infer campaign delivery or billing outcomes from a standalone landing-page response. Do not generate artificial engagement to obtain a report. ## How should a city-stock failure be reported? Report that the required city exit was unavailable at the recorded time. That is a stock condition, not proof that the campaign failed in the city. A country-level fallback may be useful for a broader QA case, but it changes the experiment and must be labeled. Keep the original city requirement open until the appropriate test can run. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can an NG exit establish a Lagos result? Not by itself. An NG exit establishes a country scope, while a Lagos claim needs city evidence. Check the observed address and record any geolocation disagreement before labelling the result. Campaign location settings and landing-page presentation are additional facts; neither can substitute for verifying the exit used. ### Do I need to click a live ad? No live-ad click is needed for this diagnostic workflow. Start with an official preview and the campaign's approved landing URL. Keep the check bounded and avoid artificial clicks or impressions. If a destination observation creates traffic, document that activity instead of claiming that every QA request has no campaign effect. ### Can an IP fix a campaign budget issue? No. A proxy changes the network viewpoint; it does not change the campaign's budget, schedule or eligibility. Use the advertising platform's account diagnosis for those conditions. In a Nairobi or Johannesburg review, separate a preview's delivery information from what an authorised landing-page request shows to the selected route. ### Can I use this workflow on a competitor’s private account? No. The workflow is for campaigns and pages you own or are authorised to manage. A public advertisement does not grant access to its owner's private account. For an African agency project, establish the client's permission and approved destination first, then keep the report within that documented scope. ### Which currencies belong in landing-page tests? Use the currency specified by the campaign brief, which may be NGN, KES or ZAR for Nigerian, Kenyan or South African destinations. A local exit does not guarantee currency localisation. Record the intended currency, observed value and relevant page or delivery setting before reporting a mismatch to the campaign team. ### What should the final report contain? Include intended country and city, observed exit, geolocation evidence, language, device settings, campaign configuration, timestamp and the bounded result. State whether a finding came from a preview or a destination check. Remove credentials and personal visitor records so the agency's city report preserves evidence without exposing client access. ## Sources 1.
