Impactify’s Guide to Google MCM Integration for Publishers

Welcome to Impactify’s MCM program! This guide is designed to streamline your integration into our Google MCM framework, ensuring a seamless partnership aimed at enhancing your ad revenue and optimising your ad management processes.

Why is Google MCM important?

For transparency, Google requires identification of the end publisher delivering their campaigns. The use of MCM has become mandatory for publishers to access our premium campaigns and Google’s programmatic deals across all Google Ads platforms, including DV360.

What is Google MCM Manage Inventory?

Google’s Multiple Customer Management (MCM) is a feature within Google Ad Manager that enables ad networks, sales houses, and other entities managing multiple publisher accounts to streamline operations and enhance ad management capabilities. MCM enables Impactify to efficiently manage campaigns originating from Google’s demand and platforms on your inventory.

Step 1: Google Ad Manager (GAM) Account Requirement

  • Existing GAM Account: If you already have a GAM account, ensure it is active and compliant with Google’s policies.
  • New GAM Account: If you do not have a GAM account, you will need to create one to participate in our MCM program.

These details are crucial for us to send you an MCM invitation and configure your account for MCM participation.

Once you provide the necessary GAM details to Impactify, we will send you an MCM invitation via your GAM account. Here’s how to accept the invitation:

  • Log into your GAM account.
  • Navigate to the “Admin” section, and then to “All network settings.” Under the “Network Partner Management” section, you will find the invitation from Impactify.
