About

One of the largest and most widely used DSPs globally, with unmatched access to Google-owned inventory including YouTube and deep integration across the Google Marketing Platform ecosystem.

Google Display & Video 360 is Google's demand-side platform (DSP) for the programmatic purchase of display, video, mobile, and TV ads, giving advertisers extensive reach and precise targeting capabilities. It bundles media buying, creative management, audience data, and reporting that a large advertiser would otherwise source from multiple vendors. It is a central component of the Google Marketing Platform, a suite of advertising and analytics tools that enables seamless workflows and data sharing across marketing functions — for example, audiences built in Google Analytics 4 can be activated directly in DV360, and creatives built in Campaign Manager 360 can be deployed into DV360 campaigns. Targeting draws on three data sources simultaneously: first-party data such as customer lists and site visitors, Google's own affinity, in-market, and demographic segments that independent DSPs cannot replicate, and third-party segments purchased from data providers within the platform. Google's vertical position — owning both the DSP and Google Ad Manager on the publisher side, as well as a large share of the inventory itself — has drawn sustained regulatory attention, though it also enables DV360 to access YouTube inventory at a depth rival DSPs cannot match.
