SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of maintaining brand safety and suitability across various Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) by implementing robust verification and control mechanisms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-bid and Post-bid Verification: Prevents ads from appearing on objectionable content or in unsuitable inventory.
  • MFA and IVT Control: Filters out Made-for-Advertising (MFA) inventory and invalid traffic (IVT).
  • Suitability Tiers and Regulated Categories: Manages brand suitability and compliance with regulated advertising categories.
  • Supply Path Transparency: Ensures a clear and authorized supply path for ad placements.
  • Use Case: For a pharmaceutical company running a campaign, this Skill can be used to ensure that ads are not shown on inappropriate content and that the campaign complies with all relevant regulations.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement pre-bid and post-bid verification across multiple DSPs?

Pre-bid and post-bid verification across DSPs is implemented by applying cross-platform verification models that block objectionable content before bidding and validate ad placements after serving. This mechanism prevents ads from appearing on unsuitable inventory.

What is the best way to filter Made-for-Advertising (MFA) sites and invalid traffic from programmatic campaigns?

Filtering MFA sites and invalid traffic (IVT) requires applying specialized control mechanisms within your DSP configuration. This process identifies and excludes MFA inventory and bot traffic, ensuring ad spend reaches legitimate human audiences.

How does supply path transparency improve ad placement safety using ads.txt and sellers.json?

Supply path transparency improves ad safety by validating authorized sellers through ads.txt and sellers.json. Checking these open-standard mechanics ensures a clear, authorized supply path, preventing unauthorized domain spoofing in your DSP.

Can I set specific brand suitability tiers for regulated advertising categories like pharmaceuticals?

Yes, you can configure suitability tiers for regulated advertising categories like pharmaceuticals. This process applies tailored rules to campaigns, ensuring ad placements comply with relevant regulations while avoiding inappropriate content contexts.

Why do I need a SupplyChain object for brand safety in my DSP?

A SupplyChain object is needed for DSP brand safety because it provides complete transparency into the supply chain. It records every transaction node, allowing verification of authorized sellers and preventing unauthorized inventory sources.

What limitations exist when using open-standard mechanics for cross-platform ad verification?

Open-standard mechanics for cross-platform ad verification require consistent adoption across all supply partners. Limitations arise when publishers or exchanges fail to maintain accurate ads.txt or sellers.json files, disrupting supply path transparency validation.
