Discover inventory and publishers

Use the power of forecasting to find inventory

Use the Marketplace to find inventory across all Google partners for Open Auction and deals. You can browse for inventory by sites, apps, and publisher, and further filter results for specific criteria.

Marketplace uses the power of forecasting, which enables you to find inventory from Google partners using criteria that are automatically detected instead of publisher declared (for example, content vertical classification, viewability, sizes, formats, and so forth). You can use the Marketplace to find:

  • Matching sites and apps that are eligible for Open Auction or deals, then export them for media planning.
  • Matching publishers to reach out to directly through their contact information or the request for proposal (RFP) workflow.
  • Marketplace and Google curated packages.

Access Marketplace Discovery

  1. Sign in to Authorized Buyers.
  2. Click Marketplace.

View forecasting across inventory

The forecast widget gives an estimate of the number of impressions and unique users expected across all inventory over a 7-day period based on recent history, as well as breakdowns into individual metrics (user gender, geo, device, and so on). The bid landscape chart shows the bidding activity for the sold inventory matching your search criteria. As you adjust the filters along the top, the statistics are updated.

  • Some Discovery targeting filters aren't eligible to be used in auction packages, either because of parity issues with the filter sets or privacy concerns. The "Create Auction Package" page lists any filter types you selected that aren't supported in auction package targeting.
