Get started with mediation

Set up inventory in Ad Manager

You must link the Ad Exchange for mobile apps account to your Ad Manager network and mark it as "default for dynamic allocation" to activate yield groups and mediation. If you don't already have an Ad Exchange account, contact a sales representative or work with a Google Certified Publishing Partner to create an account.

Only an Ad Exchange account (also known as a "mapped" Ad Exchange account) can be marked as "Default for dynamic allocation". Learn more about settings for linked Ad Exchange accounts.
  1. Create a yield partner for each ad network to compete in mediation.
  2. Create a yield group to specify which inventory will be available to ad networks.
