A New Era of Ad Verification
DoubleVerify’s Commitment to Transparency
DoubleVerify, a leading ad verification firm, has launched comprehensive URL-level reporting for ad placements. This development comes in response to increased industry scrutiny following allegations that major brands’ ads were displayed alongside harmful content, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Why URL-Level Reporting Matters
With this new feature, advertisers using DoubleVerify’s Brand Safety and Suitability measurement tools can now gain detailed insights into the specific URLs where their ads appear. This granular visibility is expected to enhance media quality and content transparency for advertisers.
The Rollout Plan
Phased Implementation of URL-Level Reporting
DoubleVerify is implementing the initiative in three distinct phases:
- Immediate Access: Advertisers now have direct access to URL-level reporting.
- Integration with Pinnacle: The company’s analytics platform, Pinnacle, will soon incorporate this feature for seamless analysis.
- Expansion to Third-Party Platforms: By the end of the year, the capability will extend to external platforms, broadening its reach.
Meeting Industry Demands
Previously available only upon request, this service is now accessible to all clients, demonstrating DoubleVerify’s proactive approach to addressing advertiser concerns about ad placement safety and transparency.
Industry Implications
Addressing Challenges in Ad Verification

Future Prospects for Ad Tech
DoubleVerify’s strategy reflects a broader trend in ad tech: prioritizing transparency and innovation to meet evolving advertiser needs. By offering deeper insights into ad placements, the firm sets a new standard for accountability in programmatic advertising.
Strengthening Trust in Digital Advertising
