The Ultimate Guide to Batch URL Processing for AdOps
The Ultimate Guide to Batch URL Processing for AdOps
In the fast-paced world of AdOps, efficiency is the difference between a successful agency and one that's drowning in manual work. The single most effective way to improve your speed is mastering Batch URL Processing.
If you're still opening URLs one by one, this guide is for you.
What is Batch URL Processing?
Batch processing allows you to take a list of 100, 500, or even 1,000+ URLs and trigger an automated audit for all of them at once. Instead of active labor, you're using "system time."
Step 1: Clean Your Data
A batch is only as good as its input. Before uploading to AdShot Pro, ensure your Excel or CSV file:
- Removes duplicates: Don't waste credits on the same URL twice.
- Validates URLs: Ensure they start with
http://orhttps://. - Adds Context: Use a second column for "Campaign ID" or "Client Name" to make reporting easier later.
Step 2: Set Your Priorities
Not all audits are created equal. When runing a batch, consider:
- Device Simulation: Do you need mobile screen captures or desktop? Or both?
- Geo-Location: If your ads are geo-targeted, ensure your proxy settings match the target region.
- Wait Times: For sites with heavy JavaScript, a 5-10 second wait ensures the ad slot is actually populated before the snapshot.
Step 3: Trigger and Review
Once you upload your list to AdShot Pro, the engine takes care of:
- Navigating to the site.
- Dismissing GDPR cookie banners.
- Identifying the ad slot.
- Injecting your creative (if requested).
- Saving the timestamped proof-of-execution.
Why Batching is the Future
Agencies that master batching can handle 10x the campaign volume without increasing headcount. It allows for "Daily Checks" rather than "Weekly Sweeps," leading to higher client satisfaction and faster detection of errors.
