ads.txt check details

Flowpane reviews ads.txt seller-record syntax, relationship values, domains, publisher IDs and supported variables. Findings identify malformed records, duplicates and conflicting declarations for publisher review.

The official no-seller declaration is different from a blank file or an HTML response. Confirm the declared seller relationships with your advertising partners before publishing a correction.

This check evaluates the file’s structure. It does not certify commercial relationships or establish external seller authority. See What is ads.txt and Common issues.

Interpreting the result

Present means the response was obtained, not that every declaration is correct. Missing means it was not found at the checked location. Blocked or Error prevents a dependable current content assessment; read the explanation before drafting a replacement.

If a partner gives you a replacement account ID, confirm it with the publisher before preparing the change; do not infer it from another website.

An Editor or Admin on an eligible plan can prepare a draft; public publication requires the appropriate authority. After publishing, run a new check and compare the resulting observation time. See troubleshooting.
