The following document defines the process for creating a Google Marketing Platform (formerly DoubleClick) campaign within Kochava.
Data Needed Before Beginning Process:
- GMP Link ID
Benefits for Advertisers:
Google’s App Attribution Partners integration leveraging Google Marketing Platform has the following benefits:
- Improved Workflow: Easier workflow for setting up integrations with AAPs, leading to fewer manual errors & discrepancies.
- Enhanced Data: Advertisers can now view the particular Display & Video 360/Campaign Manager 360 line item that is driving the conversion within the AAPs UI.
- Increased Attribution: Combined with enhanced attribution for Campaign Manager 360 or Display & Video 360, advertisers can attribute conversions for additional sources, including web>app conversions, and app>app conversions that utilize web or hashed ID’s.
How it Works for Advertisers:
Link your apps with third-party app attribution tools to track conversions in mobile apps, such as installs and in-app actions. You can view reports about your conversions from your third-party service, or directly from Google Marketing Platform – Campaign Manager 360 and Display & Video 360.
