Video: What is programmatic advertising?

Trevin Shirey, Sr. Director of Business Development at TSF, explains what programmatic advertising is and how it can grow your business.

Programmatic advertising uses artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time bidding (RTB) to automate and streamline the ad buying process.

Unlike traditional ad buying, programmatic advertising focuses more on buying an ad audience than an ad placement — and ultimately, advanced targeting connects your business with more qualified leads, conversions, and revenue.

Programmatic advertising may seem like a complicated process. But, in reality, the automated process happens in milliseconds, allowing you to save time and money.

Before we dive into the details of programmatic advertising, it’s important to understand some basic technologies used to automate the ad buying process.

Programmatic ad technology

• Demand-side platforms (DSPs): Allow you to buy ad space via an ad exchange like Google Ad Manager, which includes advertising inventory from publishers.
• Supply-side platforms (SSPs): Allow publishers to offer and manage ad space to advertising interested in purchasing.
• Data Management Platforms (DMP): Allow organizations to collect user data for digital marketing and programmatic advertising.

These technologies, along with AI, allow programmatic advertising to automate the ad buying process and deliver relevant ads — all in milliseconds.

Step-by-step programmatic ad process

With a basic understanding of programmatic ad tech under your belt, let’s break down exactly how programmatic ads work.

1. A user arrives on a website involved with programmatic advertising, triggering the automated ad process to start.
2. The site publisher automatically sends ad space dimensions to a supply-side platform (SSP).
3. The SSP analyzes a user’s cookies to glean as much info as possible regarding demographics, interests, and more to deliver a relevant ad.
4. The coordinating demand-side platform (DSP) reviews the info gathered by the SSP and assigns the user a value — the worth of the user’s ad impression.
5. The DSP submits a bid to the SSP using real-time bidding.
6. The SSP reviews all bids and selects a winner. Note: The exact price you pay will depend on the auction, but you’ll never exceed your maximum bid.
7. The SSP delivers the ad to the user.

Remember, while this process seems complicated, it’s all automated and happens in milliseconds, without the site visitor even knowing what’s happening behind the scenes.

If programmatic advertising still seems daunting, don’t worry. TSF is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Benefits of programmatic ad services

Still not convinced programmatic advertising is right for you? Take a look at these top three benefits of programmatic advertising for businesses like yours.

1. Greater ad control helps you reach qualified leads

While traditional pay-per-click (PPC) ads offer targeting options, programmatic ads go a step further to give you more control over your ads and target audience.

Programmatic advertising focuses on connecting you with a specific audience. In other words, it helps you reach the right people with the right ad at the right time.

These highly targeted ads allow you to reach people based on demographics, time of day, sites they visit, and more to maximize the potential of your ads.

2. Extra precision saves money and drives growth

A true win-win situation — you won’t waste money advertising to the wrong audience, and leads will enjoy ads that cater to their unique needs and interests.

The extra precision afforded by programmatic advertising allows you to save money and drive business growth.

3. Streamlined ad buying saves you time

Since programmatic advertising uses automated, real-time bidding, you’ll also save time and drive better results.

Partnering with TSF will put you at ease since we continually monitor your ad campaigns and identify solutions for improving your ads to maximize conversions and revenue.

With programmatic ad services, manual bidding is a thing of the past — and you’ll enjoy the hassle-free results you want — all while staying within your ad budget.

Programmatic ads vs. traditional pay-per-click (PPC) advertising

Wondering how programmatic ads differ from traditional paid advertising?

It’s important to note that programmatic advertising is a form of PPC. However, as noted above, programmatic advertising focuses more on buying a certain audience vs. a particular ad space.

Here are a few key differences between programmatic and traditional paid media buying.

Bidding: While traditional search ads are based on a bidding model alone, programmatic ads use real-time bidding and allow you to set a floor price with certain partners. In addition, programmatic ads allow you to work with a fixed CPM cost for direct deals.

Ad setup and implementation: Traditional search advertising campaigns require tremendous attention to detail to drive maximum impact with minimal investment. Failing to accurately input and monitor bids can result in thousands of dollars of wasted ad spend.

While programmatic ads also require attention to detail, automated bidding and daily spend limits help to maximize your budget and drive the best possible results.

Key metrics: Traditional PPC campaigns often focus on click-through rate (CTR), which is directly tied to quality score and ultimately ad cost. Typically, higher CTR equates to lower cost per click.

However, with programmatic ads, high CTR can indicate fraudulent traffic. Programmatic ads focus more on viewability or what percentage of people actually viewed your ads.
