Overall Satisfaction with Google Ad Manager
We use Google Ad Manager to concentrate and manage almost all of our media buys. Google has by far the most used and intutive platform on the internet to automate the media buying process. It has the most inventory, the best integrations and the more advanced soltions for measuring results.
It is mostly used by the marketing department and we have a special team dedicated to optimizing the results of Google Ad Manager.

- Different attribution models built within the platform
- Lots of bidding methods available
- Vast supply available in all countries
- Not dedicated team unless you are spending enourmous sum of money.
- Margins not transparent
- Operates like black box and missing indepedent verification on its metrics
- Great results improving ROI
- Low priced inventory maximizing margin
- High take rates for publishers decreasing margin on the sell side.
The main advantage of Google Ad Manager over The Trade Desk is based on the fact that Google Ad Manager has better data to identify a user on any device as it has more data and the user is signed in over Google Ad Manager´s set of properties. That is why results on Google Ad Manager´s platform are better as The Trade Desk needs to develop a unified id solution that is more complex and less performing that Google Ad Manager's data.
