Display & Video 360 fee

The Display & Video 360 fee describes the rates your business pays to use Display & Video 360 and purchase Google-owned media, such as YouTube. It's calculated as a percentage of media spend.

Depending on your contract, this fee may be calculated dynamically for your advertiser. In this case, you'll see the words "Automated Cost" next to your Display & Video 360 fee in your revenue model.

Display & Video 360 fees are calculated based on the type of inventory:

  • Upper (exchange) rate: Open auction, preferred/private auction deals
  • Lower (non-exchange) rate: YouTube and programmatic guaranteed deals

Partner costs

A partner cost is any type of expense involved in running a campaign, other than the costs of purchasing impressions (which is called the media cost) and using third-party audience segment data (data fee). Some examples of partner costs include the fees for using Display & Video 360, a third-party ad server, or a third-party ad serving verification service.

The partner costs section tracks these fees. Additionally, depending on a given advertiser's revenue model, these fees may be incorporated into how Display & Video 360 calculates revenue.    

Default partner revenue model

Your default partner revenue model controls the default revenue model for your partner's advertisers. Use the partner revenue model to track the markup for your service fees.
