Distribute Data to Google Display & Video 360
See the sections below for information on distributing first-party data to Google Display & Video 360 (DV360).
Use the Google Display & Video 360 (DV360) destination for first-party data distributions to target users on non-Google-owned properties on the buy side of Google (such as DV360) with your Google DV360 account. You can also use our DV360 PAIR integration to activate certain email-based data to DV360 publishers.
Note
For information on distributing Data Marketplace standard segments to Google's public third-party data marketplaces (DV360 and Google Ad Manager), as well as Data Marketplace custom segments to specific advertiser accounts within Google products, see “Distribute Data to Google Data Marketplace”.
Data sellers can also distribute Data Marketplace data to Google Ad Manager through the Curation with Google Ad Manager [Marketplace] tile. For more information, see "Distribute Data to Google Curation in Google Ad Manager".
Before you activate a Google Display & Video 360 destination account, the appropriate LiveRamp account ID must be mapped to your Google account. This gives LiveRamp access to deliver data to your Google account. See the instructions in "Provide Access to LiveRamp" below for more information.
Note
Distributing data with Connect involves activating a destination account for the destination you’re distributing to and then adding segments to distribution for that destination account. See the articles below for instructions:

Provide Access to LiveRamp
For all first-party data distributions to Google, LiveRamp must have access to deliver data to your Google account before you can distribute to their platform. This involves mapping the appropriate LiveRamp account ID to your Google account.
Before activating a Google Display & Video 360 (DV360) destination account, contact your Google account representative and have them map the LiveRamp DMP account 750-013-0530 to your Google DV360 account.
You will also need to follow Google's instructions on linking LiveRamp to DV360.
Once your Google account representative has confirmed that the mapping process is complete, activate the appropriate destination account.
Note
When providing access for regions outside of the US, EU, or Australia, you should use one of your owned accounts that has US or EU billing. If you don't own an appropriate account, contact your LiveRamp representative.
How long does the mapping process take? You will not be able to complete the activation process for a DV360 or Google Ad Manager destination account until this mapping has been completed. It sometimes takes a while for Google to process the mapping, so you might need to wait a day or so before successfully activating the destination account.
After providing access and distributing your data, if you notice your deliveries have not initiated, check that the mapping has been successfully performed before creating a support case.

Distribute First-Party Data to Google Display & Video 360

A standard integration that isn't enabled for Record Sync.
A PAIR integration that delivers certain email-based data to DV360 publishers (for more information, see "Distribute Data to Google DV360 Publishers via PAIR").
