Residential or Mobile proxy for existing google ads account ?

[snkrsresell]

Hello, I have a question.

I have purchased google ads accounts and would like to know which type of proxy is best so as not to get banned.

I've heard that the advantage of mobile proxies is that their IPs are shared between thousands of other legitimate users, making the IP itself unbanishable, as it would affect lots of legitimate users, unlike residential proxies.

My fear with residential proxies would be to come across an IP that has already been blacklisted by google ads, which in theory can't happen with mobile proxies.

The problem is that residential proxies are much more widespread than mobile proxies, so it's much easier to find a quality service.

Many people use residential proxies for existing google ads accounts, am I missing something?

Thank you.

Hi,

You're right that mobile proxies offer strong protection due to IPs being shared among real users, making them harder to ban. However, high-quality residential proxies can still be effective, especially if you're using trusted accounts and rotating clean IPs. Many advertisers use residential proxies successfully without issues, provided the IPs are fresh and not overused.

If you're working with new accounts, mobile proxies are safer. For aged or verified accounts, residential proxies are a cost-effective and reliable option when sourced from a trusted provider.

Kind regards

Well, yes, this is the main reason, I guess. Apart from the fact that mobile proxies can go quickly offline because they are mobile internet based.
Residentail proxies are also somewhat cheaper.
However, from my experience, residential proxies being home-based IPs (wifi) is per se a significant advantage. So if you use rotating proxies, and not static, and some day it gets a proxy which is not too clean, it still shouldn't be a very big issue.
But yes, if you find a stable mobile proxies provider and you like what it provides, better use this than residential. In practice both are good though.

Also, STATIC mobile proxies do not exist, as far as I know. So when choosing mobile proxies (and also rotating residential proxies, which most of the services offer) MAKE SURE to set them to a specific city! For example, Madrid if it's Spain. Because otherwise, when a proxy goes offline, which will happen every few minutes with mobiles proxies, if it jumps from one city to another, this is what google will not like. So here is another difficulty in finding a proper mobile proxies provider for this, because apart from the fact that you need to find a service which offers this function, it also should have a decent proxy pool, so that when a proxy goes offline (in, like, a minute or two, probably for mobile proxies) it should be able to connect to another proxy from the same city.

But isn't it a problem that residential proxies can be rotated?

Google ads would find it suspicious if I changed my residential location several times a day, wouldn't it?

Also, what's the ideal rotation time before changing IP? 30 minutes? 60 minutes?

I have some mobile proxying services like nodemaven (I'm not affiliated) that work for me, but suffer disconnections.

Also, and I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but, on some mobile proxy providers, during DNS tests, I see Google or CloudFlare servers, which don't correspond at all to the location of the proxy. For example, my proxy is in France, but there are DNS servers in Germany/Italy. This is never the case for a real 4g connection, so can google see it? And is it suspicious?

Thank you.

This is a similar question I asked here some months ago and didn't get any answer. So I can only judge on how it works on practice as I myself know someone close who runs multiple google ads accounts: no, it is not a problem as long as the rotation happens inside of the same city.
As far as I know, many home internets have dynamic IPs. Many are shared between multiple internet users of the same provider. It is probably somewhat similar to mobile internet, so as long as it's changed, but inside of the same city, for me it hasn't been a problem so far.

Also, what's the ideal rotation time before changing IP? 30 minutes? 60 minutes?

If a proxy goes offline, it will rotate immediately, regardless of the time rotation you choose. But choose the longer, the better.
I am not recommending any service, but for example astroproxy doesn't rotate unless it goes offline.

I don't know. A large amount of people still run google ads accounts on standard VPS, which is a datacenter proxy, and do not complain. So it might be digging too dip.

Hello, thank you for your answers.

I'm going to try on some google ads accounts the implementation of residential proxies (such as pia, brightdata and astroproxy - I'm not affiliated).

I guess if the google ads account is robust enough, and warm enough, it shouldn't be a problem.

I've come to think that there are far more important actions than worrying about our proxies, such as choosing a quality google ads account, the process of warming up the account, which are far more crucial.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been on google ads? And on which verticals? How much have you spent? Just so I have a baseline.

pia

Not Pia and similar services like "922 proxies"...: these are very cheap, they die within minutes and are actually all mostly blacklisted. They may be decent for other things, but not for google.
I don't run ads myself, I work closely with someone who does so I know "some" details, but not everything; they do their part and I do mine.
It's a majorly black vertical which requires cloacking.

if you wanna play it full safe then go for 4g proxies; residential does the job too!

I agree with this one standard vps with a decent proxy and google ads editor combo is a pretty good setup for managing multiple accounts

Static private residential can work if not abused before. Most are used by others. Same with sms. They sell it per service to the max users. That’s why they ask 180 usd rental fee for 30 days for a tier1 country sim. Best use mobile in my opinion.

 

[HyperNova Ads Agency]

Yes, that's the main reason. Mobile proxies can go offline quickly due to their nature, while residential proxies are usually cheaper and offer stable home-based IPs, which is an advantage.
Using rotating residential proxies can mitigate issues with less clean IPs, but finding a reliable mobile proxy provider is key. Note that static mobile proxies don't exist, so when using mobile proxies, ensure they are set to a specific city (e.g., Madrid) to avoid Google issues when proxies go offline. Look for a provider with a good proxy pool to maintain city consistency.

I’m using static residential from IPRoyal it works great with my account. Been using for a few months now

Yes, mobile proxies are still the safest bet since they use real carrier IPs shared by legit users, so Google’s less likely to flag them. Resi proxies can work too, but you’ll want to pair them with solid fingerprinting. As long as the whole setup looks natural, you should be fine.

Yeah, switching up residential proxies too often can definitely raise some red flags with Google - especially if the IP jumps around to totally different locations. Best move'd be to stick to one residential IP per account for at least 24-48 hours, or use sticky sessions to keep things looking natural and geo-consistent. Mobile proxies are usually a safer bet since the IPs are shared and seem more legit, but they’ve got their own quirks. Random disconnects or weird DNS mismatches (like a German DNS on a French IP) can totally give you away. Google’s smart enough to catch that kind of stuff. So make sure your DNS lines up with your proxy’s real location. If your proxy provider doesn’t offer that kind of support, it might be time to switch - or tweak the DNS settings yourself in your antidetect browser.

I always heard 4g/mobile proxies are always better than residential
