Ad mediation is one of the best app monetization strategies that allow app publishers to manage and optimize ad revenue by exploring multiple ad networks from one place with just one SDK integration.
Unity Levelplay Mediation, a product of IronSource, is a similar ad mediation solution that allows publishers to manage multiple ad networks through a single SDK. App publishers can increase CPMs, fill rates, and overall monetization efficiency with Unity Levelplay Mediation.
But can integrating Google Ad Manager with Unity Levelplay Mediation further increase your ad revenue?
In this article, we will explore how and why you must integrate Google Ad Manager or Google AdX demand with Unity Levelplay Mediation offered by IronSource.
Know The Basics: What is LevelPlay Mediation?
LevelPlay is an in-app bidding tool offered by IronSource to app developers and publishers who choose IronSource as an app monetization platform. This tool automatically enables app publishers to access multiple bidding ad networks.
In July 2022, Unity Ads merged with IronSource, and LevelPlay was renamed Unity Levelplay Mediation. The merger of this tech giant refined the technology to automate monetization and help optimize revenue for smaller game developers and app publishers.
Using Unity Levelplay Mediation, you can also drive more competition for your ad inventory leading to higher eCPMs and, ultimately, higher ad revenues.
So then, do you require a premium Google AdX demand? Of course, you do! Let us understand why having a Google AdX demand can be advantageous and why you must consider integrating Google Ad Manager with Unity LevelPlay Mediation.
Why Integrate Google Ad Manager with Unity LevelPlay Mediation?
Using Unity LevelPlay ad mediation disregards the traditional ad waterfall method. It offers multiple demand sources to bid for an impression in real-time. Apart from accelerating the entire process, it also increases competition for every ad impression and boosts ad revenue.
In simple words, Unity LevelPlay creates more competition among advertisers wanting to advertise in the publisher’s app or game.
Now imagine integrating Google Ad Manager or a premium Google AdX demand! By doing so, you are creating possibilities to further increase your ad revenue by 15% to 20%!
Integrating Google AdX provides access to premium ad campaigns that are otherwise unavailable on Google AdMob or other ad networks.
AdOps experts suggest that integrating GAM with Unity LevelPlay can boost ad revenue by 15% to 20% or even more, depending on your app’s category, user’s demography, and other factors.
So, how to integrate GAM with Unity LevelPlay App?
How to Integrate Google Ad Manager with Unity LevelPlay Mediation?
Google AdExchange (or Google AdX) is a marketplace for publishers to sell advertising space to advertisers in real-time. This demand can be accessed through Google Ad Manager (GAM). Publishers can retain control and manage their premium Google AdX demand by integrating it into any third-party ad mediation platform they might use.
