Accessing Google Ad Exchange Has Never Been Easier

In the fast-paced world of online advertising, publishers constantly seek effective ways to monetize their content. Google Ad Exchange (AdX) is widely known as a powerhouse in the realm of programmatic advertising.

Integrated within Google Ad Manager, publishers have two distinct ways to access AdX that cater to their various needs and requirements through the Google Certified Publishing Partner (GCPP) program: Platform Partners and Monetization Partners.

WITH THE SUPPORT OF OAO
OAO is a full service, ad operations agency that can provide managed services and professional services.

Platform Partners 

At their core, Platform Partners offer publishers access to Google Ad Manager 360 (AM360) and its full suite of direct sales and programmatic ad-serving capabilities, including AdX.

An exclusive group, Google has only certified nine Platform Partners across the globe. As a leading North American Platform Partner, Outsourced Ad Ops (OAO; www.adops.com) enhances and expands this core offering with a wide range of additional services, support, and technologies. With 20 years of extensive technical expertise and access to the latest resources, training, and support from Google, OAO provides specialized assistance to publishers using Google’s ad technologies to maximize ad revenue:

  • Ad server setup and integrations
  • AdX and demand setup, management, and optimizations
  • Campaign and inventory management
  • Reporting
  • Troubleshooting
  • Ad stack and operations development

Accessing AdX through AM360 with a Platform Partner is ideal for publishers that aim to take a holistic approach to direct sales, ad serving, and programmatic monetization, with guidance and support from a trusted Google partner like OAO. 

Monetization Partners

With a narrower focus, Monetization Partners, around 70 partners globally, provide publishers with access to AdX and other advertiser demand through a connection to the Partner’s AM360 and AdX network. Publishers dedicate some or all of their inventory to be monetized exclusively by the partner in their network. 

Leaning on its experience of its full-stack offering, OAO, which is also a Monetization Partner, is uniquely positioned to offer AdX and other monetization as a stand-alone service:

  • AdX setup and management
  • Revenue optimization
  • Access to dozens of top-performing and unique demand partners, ad networks, and a broad range of advertisers and agencies
  • Focus on relevant, high-quality demand
  • Top-tier support from a services-first Partner

Working with a Monetization Partner is a great way for publishers to leverage AdX and other monetization paths while minimizing internal resource allocation. 

Your Partner

Whether you’re interested in utilizing AdX as part of a full-stack solution or a more focused monetization effort, Google Partners can lead the way as a Platform Partner or Monetization Partner.  If you’d like to learn more from OAO to help evaluate your best path forward, reach out here
