Only available in Google Ad Manager 360
Audience Solutions is a Google Ad Manager 360 feature which might not be turned on for your network.
First-party audience segments are built off of data you collect from your own apps, websites, and games. While the data is yours, Google only supports certain use cases for moving segments between our products. In addition, certain Google products include proprietary Google data; in such cases, moving a segment from one product to another might not be supported. For example, Google Ads remarketing lists can’t be shared with an Ad Manager network.
The following are the general rules and guidelines for sharing first-party audience segments:
- If the SAME COMPANY uses any two Google products, they are able to share their first-party segments between these products whenever technically possible. (An example of a technical limitation might be the inability to share a given identifier across products.) This includes sharing between Ad Manager, Google Display Network (GDN), Display & Video 360, Campaign Manager 360, Google Marketing Platform, Authorized Buyers, and other products.
- A CLIENT can share first-party lists with an AGENT provided both companies are operating on the SAME side (the two sides being BUYER and SELLER) of the media transaction. An agency acting on behalf of an advertiser is the approved use case.
- If a BUYER and SELLER want to share first-party segments via a Google platform, they would need to do so via express consent in the UI.
- Companies not acting as the BUYER or SELLER can license audience data via designated platforms.
