Bidding

If CPM determines bidding behavior, how are Google Ads CPC bids converted?

Authorized Buyers uses CPM to determine the winning bidder.

When running the auction, Authorized Buyers takes several metrics into account (CPC, CTR, impressions, and so forth) to convert your Google Ads CPC bid into a CPM bid.

Can I send more than one bid response for the same request?

No, you can only send one bid response per bid request for an account.

Video

My video ad is not running and I don’t see it listed as a disapproved ad. What’s the issue?

The video creative may be missing a required asset and is being filtered out, but is not disapproved. Please make sure to include all assets required for the video ad (for example, WebM, Mp4, FLV, HTML5).

Mobile

Can we run ads in feature phones or only Android and iOS?

Authorized Buyers provides access to Blackberry, webOS, iOS, and Android devices. For more information, see: Mobile inventory and options.

Destination URLs

Does Google validate the destination URL compared to what’s in the third party ad tag?

Yes, we validate the URL and check for malware on the page. For more information, see: Declare click-through URLs in ads.
