How to Use AdShots.io to Preview Your Ads Before a Campaign Launch

Why Previewing Ads Matters

Are you launching campaigns before previewing the creatives on live web pages?

Doing so can lead to unexpected problems like wrong placements, incorrect alignments, brand safety issues or broken creatives.

AdShots allows you to preview your ads in real-world environments before they go live. The good part? There's no need to set up a full-blown live test campaign - all you need is the web page URL and the creative.

Previewing your client's ads allows you to catch potential issues early, while at the same time providing clients with professional and polished ad screenshots before going live.
