Just in – Google announces launch of new curation capability for agency advertisers.
The updates in Google Ad Manager are designed to streamline workflow, reduce complexity, and drive efficiencies for agencies.
These changes offer agencies new tools and capabilities to improve ad operations and campaign management.
Per Ginny Marvin, Google Ads Liaison, curation with Google Ad Manager is launching in North America, and will roll out globally early next year.
Here’s a breakdown of the key updates, along with insights on how they’ll impact agency operations moving forward.
In the recent blog post, Google announced the launch of their curation tool.
Google recognizes the challenge advertisers currently face trying to reach the right audiences across multiple networks and platforms.
With curation, agencies will be able to connect more easily with partners to find curated auction inventory packages, along with activating data segments within their agency Ad Manager account.
Agencies in turn can expect more accurate forecasted and increased match rates for audience targeting.
Another item rolling out with this launch is more billing efficiency.
Now, Google Ad Manager will handle billing and payments to data providers and inventory curators, which frees up admin time that would be spent creating separate invoices or different payment processes.
As of the announcement, curation supports the following:
Google Ad Manager already has a streamlined user interface for agencies to report and analyze campaigns across different DSPs.
In addition, Google has one central location for agencies to discover new deals, advanced forecasting capabilities, and packaged deals across participating DSPs.
Google states that agencies can negotiate directly with publishers to create a single deal ID that works across all their buying platforms. It’s currently available for Preferred Deals and Private Auctions through Display & Video 360 and Yahoo.
Per the announcement, support for Programmatic Guaranteed and other DSPs are coming in future months.
PPC marketers are currently juggling multiple platforms, increased client demands, and tighter deadlines.
Google’s new Ad Manager curation tool hopes to help ease this burden, allowing agencies to operate more efficiently and keep the focus on driving value.
For PPC agencies, these updates come with tangible benefits and strategic implications:
Google’s curation with Ad Manager represent a step forward in meeting evolving needs of agencies.
For PPC agencies, the ability to automate processes, manage inventory, and access enhanced reporting with greater flexibility can lead to improved results and stronger client relationships.
These tools allow agencies to focus on what matters most – driving impactful campaigns and delivering meaningful results.
