Get your first ads up and running

Sign up for Ad Manager

Ad Manager supports multiple ad networks including AdSense, Ad Exchange, and other third-party networks. Ad Manager is best for publishers who have significant direct sales, larger sales, or ad ops teams and require granular controls over inventory and delivery.

If you want more automation and easy to implement ad solutions, AdSense might be a better fit for you. AdSense and Ad Manager publishers have access to the same premium advertisers and certified buyers. You can serve high-quality ads from both AdSense and Ad Manager.
