Why an ad you have seen is not showing

Check how recently you saw the ad first, since a publishing delay of a few days is the most common cause.

You saw a competitor's ad somewhere, but it is not showing in Vyera.

Most common cause: publishing delay

Ad transparency libraries do not publish instantly. An ad you saw today can take a few days to appear in the source Vyera reads.

Other causes, by how often they happen

  • The platform, ad category, or region it ran in is not covered by any public library. See Which ad platforms Vyera watches.
  • The ad was run by a reseller or affiliate rather than the competitor directly, so it is not attributed to them.
  • The competitor is not tracked yet.

If none of this fixes it

Send the platform, roughly when you saw it, and the competitor it was for, using the request option below.
