Dead Link Patrol for industrial controls

Industrial controls campaigns rely on specification landing pages that get updated, deprecated, or deleted as vendors update their product lines. An 'EtherNet/IP I/O module' page that worked six months ago might be replaced with a newer model, or the URL might shift when the vendor refactors their site. Dead Link Patrol catches these before ad spend wastes on 404 responses. A broken specification page is worse than a generic page because it trains your bidding system that these high-intent keywords convert at zero percent, which causes Smart Bidding to suppress them. Paste your list of active landing-page URLs and Dead Link Patrol returns HTTP status, full redirect chains, and timeout errors. The bulk CSV export shows you which URLs are clean, which redirect, and which are dead — so you can prioritize fixes by actual traffic volume. In controls verticals, redirect chains matter: a page about 'Studio 5000 PLC programming software' might redirect to a product-category page, which is a signal that the vendor sunset the old page structure. Recommendation: run Dead Link Patrol monthly on your active landing-page URLs. Prioritize fixes for specification pages that are generating conversion volume in Google Ads. Remove dead URLs from active campaigns immediately to prevent Smart Bidding from learning they convert at zero percent.
