Ad verification
|
Malvertising hides from manual review. AI catches it on every ad in your network or site — before it reaches users.
Inside the platform
Every flagged ad — visible and actionable
Filter the scan feed by partner, country, or violation. Each scan shows what users saw, the redirect chain, and which of your rules were broken — with evidence ready to share or audit.

Who it's for
For teams accountable for ad quality
to users and partners
Ad networks
Keep inventory clean without scaling up the moderation team. AI and computer vision catch what rule-based tools miss — cloaking, fresh malvertising tricks, banned categories disguised as something else — before publishers and advertisers complain.
Publishers
See what ads actually land on your pages through programmatic and SSPs. Malvertising and unsafe content surface before they harm your audience or push it away from the site.
Compliance teams
Cut manual review by an order of magnitude. AI surfaces violations and prioritizes the queue — your compliance officers make decisions instead of opening hundreds of links by hand every day.

Capabilities
Full quality control
for every placement
AI evaluates creatives and landing pages against your rules; scans run from dozens of countries and devices, so you see ads the way a real user sees them.
Models look at the full creative and final landing page — text, imagery, buttons, page behavior. Banned categories (gambling, adult, pharma, weapons, finance scam), clickbait and user deception are detected by meaning — even when formal rules are gamed.
Dozens of countries, real residential and mobile networks, different browsers and devices. See ads the way a real user sees them in any region — and the way they're hidden from manual moderation.
Where every click leads after all the redirects, which domains are in the chain, and what the user actually sees in the end. A full picture of cloaking and landing swaps — with evidence to take to a partner or answer to a publisher.
Crypto mining, browser lockers, forced push subscriptions, fake updates, drive-by .apk and .exe drops, fake tech support, intrusive alert popups. Every violation comes with a screenshot, context and severity.
Recurring scans on a schedule, repeat runs for unstable violations, filters by partner, format and country. The platform notices on its own when a creative starts breaking the rules after passing initial moderation.
Flexible rules: severity, filters by partner and violation category, cooldown to avoid notification spam during incidents. Webhook integrates with your ticketing system or internal tools in one setting.

Why AdFrog
AI understands what the ad means,
not just a list of domains
AI and computer vision
Models see the full creative and landing — text, imagery, buttons, the final page. Banned categories and user deception are caught by meaning, not by URL substrings.
Evidence, not verdicts
Every violation comes with a screenshot of what the user saw, the redirect chain, and context. Material you can take to a partner or use to claim a refund — not just "our system decided so".
Every format and channel covered
Links, tags, VAST, push, pop, native, banners, video. Direct partnerships, programmatic, SSPs — one quality standard across every channel that delivers ads to you.
Adapts to your rules
Your own banned categories, stop words, blocklists and alert rules. The platform runs on the standards of your network or publisher — not the other way around.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Banned categories recognized by AI computer vision — not just keyword matches — so creatives can't slip through by swapping wording or hiding text in images. Covers gambling, adult, pharma, weapons, finance scam and any custom categories you configure. Plus malvertising and technical threats (crypto miners, browser lockers, fake updates, intrusive push subscriptions, drive-by .apk and .exe drops), cloaking and landing-page swaps, hidden redirects, stop-word and blocklist domain usage, and outright user deception.
Direct links and landings, ad tags (JS, iframe, HTML), VAST and VPAID for video. Works across push, pop, native, banners and video. URL macros are supported, so each scan can carry unique values for tracker integration.
Any country in the world — over residential, mobile and corporate networks. You can pick a specific country, network type and carrier; for example, to reproduce the exact conditions under which a partner enables cloaking.
Channels: Telegram, Slack, Email, Webhook. Rules define severity, filters by partner and violation category, and a cooldown window that suppresses repeat notifications during incidents. Connects to ticketing systems and in-house compliance tools.
