Enabling Management Inventory

Updated

Overview

Google uses Multiple Customer Management (MCM) to manage inventory for all Google Certified Publishing Partners, including Freestar. This requires all publishers to have an Ad Manager account as of July 1, 2021.

From now on, all publishers will need their own Ad Manager account to monetize with Google and Freestar. Freestar will still manage your inventory through our Ad Manager account, but the inventory we monetize on your behalf will be associated with your network code (account ID).

Update Your Ads.txt

You must update your ads.txt file to include the following line:

google.com, pub-3605257360853185, RESELLER, f08c47fec0942fa0

Enablement Steps

Follow the steps outlined below to grant Freestar permission to represent your inventory.

  1. First, provide Freestar with an email address you want to be associated with your Google Ad Manager account. This email address will create your new Google Ad Manager account. If the email address you have provided is not currently associated with your GAM, AdSense, or AdMob accounts, and you have one, please provide an email address associated with those accounts. If you prefer to use an existing Ad Manager account, please provide the email address associated with that Ad Manager.
  2. You will receive an email invitation from Google containing a request from Freestar to manage your inventory. This email will be sent to the address you provided in step 1.
  3. Click View invitation in the email. You'll be asked to log in with an existing Google Ad Manager account. If not, skip to step 5.
  4. If your email address is associated with an existing Ad Manager account, you'll be asked to choose an account to be managed by Freestar. You can then skip directly to step 6.
  5. If your email address is not associated with an existing Ad Manager account, you will be asked to complete the following sign-up process:
    1. Create a Google account with the email address you received the invitation.
    2. Select your billing county.
    3. Review and accept Google's Terms & Conditions.
    4. Enter your customer information.
    5. Enter your network settings.
      1. Your network name should be your legal company name.
      2. You can set currency to any convenient currency or that of your country of operation.
    6. Enter your phone number to verify your account.
    7. Your account is created and sent for Google review.
  6. Google will then review your application. Once Google approves it, your account will be automatically linked to Freestar's network to manage your delegated inventory.

What Comes Next?

Freestar will be notified when your account is approved and we've received authorization to manage your inventory. We will then continue to manage your inventory as we have. You'll still receive payment from Freestar for any demand relationships Freestar manages on your behalf, including Google Ad Exchange.
