Occuz Intent and Verification Signals

Occuz Intent Scoring


Occuz appends traffic quality and validation labels directly to your destination URLs. This allows your advertising platforms to dynamically optimize for genuine audience intent rather than raw, unverified clicks.

When a visitor interacts with an Occuz short link, our platform quickly assesses the likely validity and quality of that interaction. This creates an intent score that translates into actionable, easy-to-read marketing labels. These labels are then appended as OCI (Occuz Intent) and OCV (Occuz Verified) parameters on your final landing page.

Our assessment is dynamic-combining smart, instantaneous connection checks with ongoing post-click behavior to build a complete picture of your traffic quality.


  Initial Traffic Analysis

As a user navigates to your page, Occuz evaluates environmental risk factors, geographic locations, device information, topography, engagement metrics, and baseline connection metrics. This data is then cross-referenced with context, historical data patterns, specific campaign verticals, and industry benchmarks, the system secures an authoritative quality snapshot before the user even views your content.

  Engagement Signals

Once the visitor lands, Occuz updates the baseline score using live engagement behaviors and retains the data for future engagment. Factors like active time spent on the site, returning visitor status, and positive user interactions confirm genuine interest and safely elevate the visitor's quality score.

  Quality Filtering

Occuz continuously filters out non-human behavior, automated scrapers, and suspicious cloud hosting networks. Legitimate human users are accurately identified and prioritized, keeping your marketing funnels clean and safeguarding your campaign budgets.

How To Use OCI/OCV In Ad Platforms


Meta Ads: Build Custom Audiences with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Ensure your Meta Pixel is active on the landing page destination.

Step 2: In Meta Events Manager, verify events are firing for destination visits.

Step 3: Create a Website Custom Audience using URL rules such as:

  • URL contains oci=hi
  • URL contains ocv=ve
  • Optionally combine: URL contains oci=hi AND URL contains ocv=ve

Step 4: Use this audience for retargeting, lookalikes, or value-based campaign segmentation.

Google Ads: Build Segments with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Ensure Google tag / GTM is installed on the destination site.

Step 2: In Google Ads Audience Manager, create a Website Segment with URL rules:

  • Page URL contains oci=hi
  • Page URL contains ocv=ve
  • Or broader tiers like oci=mh and oci=md

Step 3: Apply segments to observation mode first, then optimize bids and budget toward higher-intent cohorts.

TikTok Ads: Custom Audiences with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Install TikTok Pixel on your destination landing page via TikTok Events Manager or GTM.

Step 2: In TikTok Ads Manager, go to Assets > Audiences and create a Website Traffic audience.

Step 3: Set URL rules to filter by OCI/OCV parameters:

  • URL contains oci=hi
  • URL contains ocv=ve
  • Or a broader high-quality tier: oci=hi OR oci=mh

Step 4: Use these audiences for retargeting or create Lookalike Audiences based on high-intent visitors to scale efficiently.

Snapchat Ads: Snap Pixel Audience Segments with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Install the Snap Pixel on your destination page via Snapchat Ads Manager or GTM.

Step 2: Under Audiences > New Audience > Snap Audience Match / Pixel Custom Audience, set website visitor rules.

Step 3: Add URL filter conditions:

  • URL contains oci=hi
  • URL contains ocv=ve

Step 4: Target or exclude these audiences in campaigns, or use them as seeds for Lookalike Audiences.

X (Twitter) Ads: Website Audiences with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Install the X Pixel on your destination landing page.

Step 2: In X Ads Manager, go to Tools > Audience Manager > Create Audience > Website Visitors.

Step 3: Use URL contains rules to filter traffic by intent quality:

  • URL contains oci=hi
  • URL contains ocv=ve

Step 4: Apply audiences for retargeting or exclude low-intent visitors (oci=lo, ocv=no) to reduce wasted spend.

Yahoo / Yahoo DSP: Audience Segments with OCI / OCV

Step 1: Install Yahoo Dot (Yahoo's pixel) on your destination landing page.

Step 2: In Yahoo Ads, navigate to Audience Lists and create a Website Visitors audience.

Step 3: Define URL-based inclusion rules:

  • URL contains oci=hi
  • URL contains ocv=ve

Step 4: Apply the segment to native, display, or search campaigns on Yahoo DSP for intent-qualified retargeting.

Audience Strategy: Practical Segment Examples
  • High intent verified: oci=hi + ocv=ve
  • Mid intent verified: oci=mh or oci=md + ocv=ve
  • Recovery segment: oci=ml + ocv=pve
  • Exclude low quality: oci=lo or ocv=no

These segments can be used for creative testing, bid multipliers, retargeting windows, and conversion-priority campaign design.

Why This Improves Performance
  • Focuses budget on visitors with stronger engagement likelihood.
  • Separates verified traffic quality from unverified traffic.
  • Improves retargeting relevance by quality layer, not just click volume.
  • Gives media teams a cleaner optimization signal for audience building.
Implementation Notes
  • Occuz appends OCI/OCV only if they are not already present in the destination URL.
  • Your existing UTM parameters remain supported.
