Using forecasting, Marketplace allows you to find all inventory from Ad Manager publishers matching your desired search criteria, regardless of whether the inventory exists as a packaged product offer, like a Preferred Deal or Private Auction. If you can't find a packaged product offer matching your exact requirements, you have the option to create a request for proposal (RFP) to reach out directly to the publisher.
Data displayed in Marketplace results
Marketplace results automatically display impression volume and uniques that match your search criteria, as determined by forecasting. Impression volumes are based on data from the previous 7 days.
