ISP proxies are residential proxies that are hosted on data centers. With ISP proxies, you get the benefits of data center network speeds, as well as the good effects of residential IPs. The fast and undetectable nature of ISP proxies makes them a top choice for large-scale web operations. Let's take a closer look at the uses of ISP proxies:
Web Scraping
Web scraping is a process that allows you to analyze HTML code to extract the required data from a website. While the idea is simple, large-scale web scraping requires proxy servers to change your location, as many websites display different web pages for different locations. Additionally, in order to scrape large amounts of data in a reasonable amount of time, proxies need to be very fast. For these reasons, ISP proxies are considered the best choice for web scraping.
SEO Monitoring
SEO monitoring involves verifying how your website, content, articles, etc. perform in search engines. However, search engine results are affected by your location, and cookies attached to your web browser can affect the results displayed. To bypass these issues, a proxy is needed to anonymize your connection or simulate a user from another global location.
Additionally, SEO monitoring involves frequent visits to the same web pages, which can cause your IP address to be blacklisted or have rate limits applied. Therefore, it is best to use a proxy when conducting SEO monitoring.
Ad Verification
Ad verification involves scanning the web to check if the ads displayed on various websites meet campaign standards, appear on the right websites, and reach the target audience. Since these scans must target millions of websites, ISP proxies can be used to ensure that your ad verification process is swift and you are not blocked due to excessive use of IP addresses.
Social Media Monitoring
Just like SEO monitoring, your activities in terms of social media monitoring may raise suspicion. As a result, you are forced to comply with the host's rules to prevent being blocked or banned by the platform. For example, managing multiple accounts with the same IP address will definitely attract attention. ISP proxies can be particularly useful in this case, as they will spoof the IP address of the social network algorithm and you will not end up being blocked.
